• Tony Lagorce : [meeting for a duel with Elmer]  Anything! Swords. Pistols. I don't care. I'll kill him anyway.

  McCracken : What's the difference? Swords, pi...

  Elmer : Satisfy both sides. Let him have a sword and I'll use a pistol.

• Tony Lagorce : [storming out]  I'm finished! I'm through!

  McCracken : You're NUTS!

• Tony Lagorce : [storming out again]  I'm finished! I'm through!

  McCracken : You said that yesterday!

• Tony Lagorce : I'll kill this libertine. This love thief. This unspeakable foreigner!

• Patricia : For an ardent lover, you're really late! Where have you been?

  Tony Lagorce : If I told you, that would mean another argument.

  Patricia : Involving another woman!

  Tony Lagorce : No. Patricia, I swear it. There never could be anyone but you in my heart.

  Patricia : Oh, leave your guitar of a heart. I'm dancing no longer!

• Tony Lagorce : Patricia, it is for your sake that I restrain myself at this moment. I shall see you at your apartment tonight!

  Patricia : Oh, it will be quite useless, I assure you.

• Patricia : Tony, now, now. Tony, I'll tell you the truth. Elmer was here, calling on me and - and when you came...

  Tony Lagorce : Calling in his pajamas!

  Patricia : They're not his pajamas! They're my paja-!

• Tony Lagorce : So, we know the truth! At last!

  Patricia : No. No, Tony, I can explain everything, darling...

  Tony Lagorce : And You! You made a fool of me for the last time with your lies and your running away.

  Patricia : Tony, please!

  Tony Lagorce : And all the time you've been in love with this insect! This cockroach! This turtle!

  Elmer : Tuttle!

• Tony Lagorce : I'm afraid I have misjudged you, Scuttle.

  Elmer : Tuttle.

• Elmer : Say, are you married to this Nina Estrados?

  Tony Lagorce : Oh, of course not.

  Elmer : Then you don't love her?

  Tony Lagorce : Who, Nina Estrados? She's just a crazy rattle-crazed Spaniard. The kind of a woman a man finds, fondles, and forgets.

• Elmer : Gee, I wish I could handle women like you do.

  Tony Lagorce : Oh, it's an art - if you will take the word of one who has had many, without becoming tied to any.

• Elmer : Do you like fireworks?

  Tony Lagorce : Do I like what?

  Elmer : Fireworks.

  Tony Lagorce : Fireworks - yes, yes, of course, I like fireworks, very much.

  Elmer : Well, that's good; cause, we're gonna start with a human Roman candle.

  [opens the door and out walks...] 

  Tony Lagorce : Nina!

  Elmer : In the flesh.

• Tony Lagorce : [Tony is strangling Elmer]  Tell me! Tell me about the contract! Tell me!

  Elmer E. Tuttle : I can't.

  Patricia Jardine : You can and you must!

  Elmer E. Tuttle : I can't. He's got his thumb in my windpipe.
