  Mabel O'Dare : Well that out to make you feel right at home!

• Larry Cain : [to Pop]  Take me someplace where this cluck isn't.

  Mabel O'Dare : [grandly]  Don't you DARE call me a cluck!

• Jacob 'Jake' Sherman : See you later, my little artichoke.

  Mabel O'Dare : All right, my Spanish onion.

• Mabel O'Dare : Something's rotten in Denmark.

  Aloysius K. Reilly : Well, don't look at me. I never been there.

  [Serves two eggs, sunnyside up] 

  Aloysius K. Reilly : I've seen Greta Garbo and the Mona Lisa, but those are the most beautiful eyes I've ever looked into.

• Mabel O'Dare : Aunt Mimi was right when she said that she taught me all she knew about dancing. But, Aunti's got flat feet, and I think it might show up in my work.

  Aloysius K. Reilly : You ever see anybody watch a chorus girl's feet? Come on.

• Jacob 'Jake' Sherman : I think you're both just a couple of cheap chiselers.

  Mabel O'Dare : Just a minute! I don't care whether you're Jake Sherman or the four Marx Brothers, but you can't get away with calling me a chiseler.

• Mabel O'Dare : Listen, the safest thing that can happen to you right now is a case of lock jaw.

  Mabel O'Dare : Why?

• Mabel O'Dare : Well, I may be crazy; but, I'm going to Philadelphia, just the same.
