Quotes 

• Danny Nolan : You know, Matt, I think she's swell. You can't blame her for doing somethin' she thought was right.

  Skeets : [admiring Sue's legs as she climbs the stairs at subway station]  Well, anyway, she's got a nice pair of pins.

  Matt Nolan : Ah, I wouldn't go for that dame if she was the last woman on Earth - and I just got out of the Navy.

• Skeets : [Reading movie poster]  "Coming: John Barrymore, The Mad Genius." I wonder what he's mad about.

  Ruby : You know what I think? I think he's copying Frederic March more and more every day. Don't you think so? He's my favorite though, except Joe E. Brown.

• Ruby : C'mon. I feel like bein' bored, and you can do the job better than anyone I know.

  Skeets : So long, Matt. See you later. Goodbye Sue. We're going to the wrestling matches.

  Ruby : Maybe you are; but, I'm going to the Winter Garden. They got a picture there of Lil Dagover. I like the sound of her name. Its got sex appeal.

  Skeets : Oh, nothing'll help you, baby.

• Matt Nolan : You can't make a sucker out of me. You or nobody else. For two cents, I'd knock the ears off you.

  Sue Riley : For less than that, I'd slap your face.

  Matt Nolan : Go ahead. I'll give you first punch!

  [Sue slaps his face and walks away, Matt starts to chase her] 

  Skeets : Ah, come on, Matt. She's only a dame. She don't know any better.

  Matt Nolan : I'll knock her nose.
