Quotes 

• Kurt Anderson : When did YOU develop principles?

  Polly Dale : Oh, I saved a couple out of the crash.

• Kurt Anderson : When a man outlives his usefulness, he ought to jump out a window.

• Polly Dale : [seductively]  Hello, Mr. Anderson!

  Kurt Anderson : Oh, it's you. I didn't know you with all your clothes on.

• Madeleine Walters West : Why do you want me? I haven't any feeling for you. I don't even hate you. I wish I could. It's just no feeling at all. Like someone you'd pick up on the street! That's what I feel like. Why don't you leave me alone!

  Kurt Anderson : Because you're an attractive woman. One of the most attractive I've ever seen. There's something in us right now that pulls us together. We haven't anything to say about it. If I just lay my hand on you now...

  Madeleine Walters West : Don't touch me!

  Kurt Anderson : You may not come to me tonight or tomorrow night, but you'll come; you can't help it.

  Madeleine Walters West : No, I won't!

  Kurt Anderson : Yes, you will!

• Kurt Anderson : Go ahead, kill her and be done with it.

  Denton Ross : No. No! I'll marry her first!.

• Kurt Anderson : There's no room for sympathy or softness - my code is smash or be smashed!

• Kurt Anderson : Broke?

  Madeleine Walters West : Very.

  Kurt Anderson : With your looks you shouldn't have any trouble getting a job.

  Madeleine Walters West : Thank you! But, I'd rather be employed for my brain.

• Denton Ross : She's blackmailing me! I'm caught like a rat in a trap! I'll be ruined! Franklin Monroe might hear of it! Anderson, you know all about women. What am I to do?

  Kurt Anderson : Why don't you kill her?

• Kurt Anderson : You've been working on me with everything you've got. But, I know what you think before you think it. I don't want you or any part of you. I want that understood; because, I think I could use you.

  Polly Dale : What part of me?

  Kurt Anderson : All of you.

  Polly Dale : I get it!

• Kurt Anderson : You're not married are you?

  Martin West : No! No, I'm not.

  Kurt Anderson : Oh, that's fine. This is no job for a married man. Where would I be with a wife hanging around my neck?

  Martin West : Don't you - like women?

  Kurt Anderson : Sure, I like 'em! In their place. But, there's no time for wives in this job. Love 'em and leave 'em! Get me?

  Martin West : Yes. I think I do.

• Kurt Anderson : What do you want me to do? Marry you? Bunk! When you dames get your claws in a man you don't let him go until you drag him to some alter and ruin his life. All you're looking for is a soft place to park for the rest of your life.

• Kurt Anderson : How much are you getting now?

  Polly Dale : 35 a week, when I'm not docked.

  Kurt Anderson : Would you use 70?

  Polly Dale : 70 a week! What's the gag?

  Kurt Anderson : I want you to do something for me.

  Polly Dale : Practically done.

• Kurt Anderson : What's the matter with Ross?

  Polly Dale : All he wants to do is play chess with me. How do you stop a guy from doing that?

  Kurt Anderson : Try playing Post Office.

• Madeleine Walters West : You look familiar.

  Kurt Anderson : I'd like to be.

• Madeleine Walters West : How would you like a waxed banana?

  Kurt Anderson : I'd love it!

• Kurt Anderson : What's the report on the men's underwear sales?

  Miss Hall : 618 sales at one o'clock.

  Kurt Anderson : Keep me posted.

• Madeleine Walters West : Good night, Mr. Anderson. Well, thanks again.

  Kurt Anderson : Now, wait a minute. You don't have to go, you know.

  Madeleine Walters West : Oh, yes I do.

  Kurt Anderson : No, you don't.

• Kurt Anderson : We'll try it without advertising. We'll use it as a test to see if we can sell men's drawers to women! And if we can, we can sell them men's anything!

• Kurt Anderson : Who manufactures these toy dogs?

  Toy Department Executive : Sterns Novelty Company, Jersey City.

  Kurt Anderson : Well, tell 'em we'll take 'em if they take off the label 'Made in Germany' and put on 'Made in Japan'. They'll sell better.

• Denton Ross : Haven't you been to bed at all?

  Kurt Anderson : Aw, too much sleep makes a man's brain dull.

• Denton Ross : What are you doing with that hussy?

  Kurt Anderson : I'm saving you from blackmail.

• Martin West : [referring to Madeleine, now his wife]  Kurt, she won't interfere.

  Kurt Anderson : She won't? She has! I asked you to come and live with me. So we can be together. And plan and work. But you can't do it because you've got to run home to a woman! And it's only the beginning. She's hogtied you, my boy. You won't be able to think straight pretty soon.

• Kurt Anderson : All I hoped for is in you. I want you to stick to me. ME! You understand? Let this woman go.

  Martin West : [shocked]  What?

  Kurt Anderson : Sure. Turn her loose. A little money'll do the trick. That's all any of them want.

• Kurt Anderson : Love? We don't need love. Do we?

  Polly Dale : No.

  Kurt Anderson : That's a lot a hooey.
