• Dan : Is it a good job?

  Lorry Evans : Bed of roses.

  Dan : Oughta smell good.

• Dan : Oh, I got another treat for ya.

  Lorry Evans : What is it?

  [Dan slowly closes the door, puts a bowl on the table, pours water in it, takes a hand towel and displays both sides like a magician before tucking it in as a bib, picks up his shaving supplies and starts lathering his face] 

  Lorry Evans : Say... what is this treat?

  Dan : I'm gonna let you watch me shave.

  Lorry Evans : You're too good to me.

  Dan : Any woman who can get me to shave more than twice a week must have something.

• Alice - Dan's Shipboard Cook : Anything mo', boss?

  Dan : How 'bout some more catfish?

  Lorry Evans : No thanks. I've had so much now I'm about ready to meow.

  Dan : All right, Alice, you can take it away.

  Alice - Dan's Shipboard Cook : She ain't got half the appetite of some of yer other gals had.

  Dan : The conversation's more interesting when you keep your mouth shut.

• Lorry Evans : I'm kinda sorry I pushed you overboard this afternoon.

  Dan : Nah, it's all right. I like a woman with some spunk. Only don't make a habit of it.

• Lorry Evans : Hello. Never expected to see me again, did you?

  Dan : Well, I sort of thought I might.

  Lorry Evans : Thought my conscience would bring me back?

  Dan : I didn't count very much on your conscience.

• Lorry Evans : Well, I'm sort of a governess.

  Lorry Evans : Not so far.

• Lorry Evans : I bet you've never even had your arms around a girl.

  Dan : Oh, yes I have. Part-way. She was a fat girl.

  Lorry Evans : Oh. Try puttin' your arms around me. See how I feel.

• Lorry Evans : Scared of me, aren't you?

  Dan : Certainly.

  Lorry Evans : Why?

  Dan : Because you're the kind of a woman that goes around pushing people off of boats.

  Lorry Evans : Scared of all women?

  Dan : Only those I've met.

• Dan : That one up there is Venus. If your in a fast plane, traveling at top speed, it'll take you 50 years to get there.

  Lorry Evans : I'd be too old to enjoy myself. What other trips have ya got?

  Dan : Well, if you just want to go on a short trip, you could run up to the moon.

  Lorry Evans : How long would that take?

  Dan : Probably make it in about 166 days.

  Lorry Evans : You. know too much for your own good.

  Dan : Oh, I ain't even started yet. You see that one over there?

  Lorry Evans : Oh, let's just look at 'em.

• Dan : [long kiss]  What was that? A tidal wave?

  Lorry Evans : No, it was just me.

  Dan : Try it again.

  [long kiss] 

  Dan : So, that's what it's like.

• Lorry Evans : So, you've had other girls on board?

  Dan : Sure! They were different kind of gals.

  Lorry Evans : How do you know I ain't the same as they are?

  Dan : Oh, you just put on a hard front. You know what you're doin'.

  Lorry Evans : All say I do. I'm going places!

• Dan : Do you like to dance?

  Lorry Evans : Sure.

  Dan : Are you good at it?

  Lorry Evans : Oh, I guess I can get by.

  Dan : Yeah, I guess you can get by.

• Dan : Can you imagine old man river washin' anything like you right up against my barge? Was that a lucky break.

  Lorry Evans : Was it?

• Dan : How about stayin' for dinner? We're gonna have catfish.

  Lorry Evans : I can hardly wait.

  Dan : Catfish for two.

  Alice - Dan's Shipboard Cook : Catfish for two.
