Quotes 

• Lil Andrews : Listen, Sally, I made up my mind a long time ago, I'm not gonna spend my whole life on the wrong side of the railroad tracks.

  Sally : Well, I hope you don't get hit by a train while you're crossing over.

• Lil Andrews : Well you son-of-a-sea-snake! Have you got on my new pajamas?

  [camera pans down to Lil's legs as Sally hands her the silk pajama pants] 

  Lil Andrews : [climbing into the pajamas]  Say love, let's have a little more respect from you, now that I belong to one of the fine old families...

  Sally : Oh, yeah? If I were you I'd go a little bit slow.

  Lil Andrews : Whaddyou mean by that?

  Sally : Well, Bill Legendre and his wife might get together and decide that you were merely a strange interlude.

  Lil Andrews : Strange interlude, nothing! When I kiss 'em, they stay kissed for a long time.

  Sally : Well, see you don't get left holdin' the bag, sweetheart, full of nothin' but air. You better hang on to that bootlegger of yours.

• Lil Andrews : Listen, I'm on my way up to the boss' house with his mail.

  Sally : Why didn't his secretary do it?

  Lil Andrews : Because I swiped it off her desk. These are important and they've gotta be answered right away. Maybe I'll get a chance to stay and take dictation.

  Sally : How'd you find that out, Mrs. Winchell?

• Sally : [lying down, eating a banana]  Well, did you see him?

  Lil Andrews : [lighting up a cigarette]  Yes, I saw him!

  Lil Andrews : All right, it's gonna be swell.

• Sally : So, they all had a good time, huh?

  Lil Andrews : Did they! Why, they could hardly tear themselves away. They wouldn't have left at all, only they have a charity roundup in the morning and they have to get to bed.

  Sally : Are they all going to bed with Irene?

  Lil Andrews : What do you mean?

  Sally : Well, your whole party's making a beeline right across the street to her house.

  Sally : Is she strict? Oh, Mr. Schultz if you only knew!

  Old Mr. Schultz : Well, then we better wouldn't let them see us.

  Sally : No, we better wouldn't not.
