Una Merkel: Dixie Dare

Quotes 

• Dixie Dare : Honey, why don't you get wise to yourself? This town's full of men who'd go goofy over you if you'd let 'em; so let 'em! Oh, don't take 'em too seriously; just kid 'em along and get what you can out of 'em. Say, if I had your looks I'd wear ermine underwear.

  Marion Cullen : Well, maybe you would, Dixie, but I'm not the type.

  Dixie Dare : So's Humphries.

  [Dragging Mr. Goodrich onto the dance floor] 

  Dixie Dare : I'd just *love* to dance with you!

  Mr. Goodrich : [befuddled]  Who said I wanted to dance?

  Dixie Dare : Oh, but you will!
