Eckbaum : You could call it a loan couldn't you?
Jack : Listen, Eckbaum, you can call it a lot worst than that and you'd still be right. Listen, I know what's in back of that old dame's mind and I won't have it!
Eckbaum : But, Jack, she wants to help you.
Jack : That's my business.
Eckbaum : All right, then, so it's my business. After all, I'm a landlord, not a Salvation Army Captain.

Eckbaum : Miss Carroll, what else can I do? You know, I got taxes, heavy taxes. You know, this ain't the Eckbaum Foundation for Indignant Females.

Eckbaum : For $15 a month, you'll have a place so comfortable to live in, I guarantee you'll be like a bug in the rug.

Jack : Now, listen, Eckbaum, I know these dames. They come to Greenwich Village, from small towns, looking for romance. I don't care if she is broke! She's just trying to hang one on over on you. What do think this is? Seventh heaven?
Eckbaum : On the fourth floor? It couldn't be.
Jack : Trying to make a flop house out of this joint? A flop house for women! She slides out of bed and I slide in.

Jack : That's swell.

Eckbaum : No, not in the same bed! Never at the same time together. On that I insist! Fifteen minutes before she can come in, you gotta get out. You understand that? Even if I have to put Julius at the door to see that it happens.
Jack : A rotten outrage. I won't have any moon-faced, corn-fed, goggle-eyed spinster in my room.
Eckbaum : Oh, yes you will. You got to agree to that now.
