President of the Purity League : Mr. Mason? Miss Winton? What on earth? What's going on
Marge Winton : Oh, just the usual office routine. Mr. Mason was giving me dictation. But, he was a little too fast!
Purity League Manager : Miss Winton choose to misunderstand purely a friendly gesture.
President of the Purity League : Miss Winton this is disgraceful! I'm sure Mr. Mason meant no harm.
-
Sadie Day : Do you mean to say you've been fired again? Well, I thought this Mr. Mason liked you so much that he...
Marge Winton : So much that I had to throw two five-pound books at him to keep him away.
Sadie Day : Five-pound - ? What did he do?
Marge Winton : Oh, he started to show me a few new handies. But, after the first, I told him to stop.
[wink]
Marge Winton : I could guess the rest.
Sadie Day : Oh, ain't men terrible. Though, I must confess that my boss certainly behaves like a gentlemen to me - darn it.
-
Marge Winton : [Reading a wanted ad] Stenographer wanted for a Henderson, Barton & Lowell.
Sadie Day : What's their business?
Marge Winton : It says they're importers of spices, seeds, oil and sardines.
Sadie Day : Sardines? That sure sounds romantic.
Marge Winton : I don't want romance. All I want is a job!
-
Lowell : I was wondering if you mind staying on for an hour or so. I'd like to go over the Driskill Sardine statement.
Marge Winton : Why, you okayed it this morning. I mailed it out with the banana oil contracts.
Lowell : Oh, did I? It must have slipped my mind. Well, anyway, I'd like you to stay on. There's a few things I'd like to go over with you.
Marge Winton : Well, I was planning to go out for dinner.
Lowell : There's no reason we can't have dinner up here.
Marge Winton : Oh, but, I...
Lowell : I'll give you a buzz in a few minutes.
Marge Winton : Yes, Mr. Lowell.
-
Barton : I have a few letters I want to get out. Do you mind staying on for an hour or so?
Marge Winton : I'm awfully sorry, but, Mr. Lowell asked me to do some work for him.
Barton : Mr. Lowell happens to be the second Vice President. I come first.
Marge Winton : Yes, Mr. Barton.
-
Henderson : Miss Winton, Marge, you look like a nice, understanding girl.
Marge Winton : I know. Your wife's out of town for a few days and you're lonesome.
Henderson : How did you know?
Marge Winton : Oh, just because I'm so understanding.
-
Sadie Day : Howdy, pal! Well, how's the new job?
Marge Winton : It was fine.
Sadie Day : Was fine? What happened this time?
Marge Winton : Oh, you know the old proverb: Too many bosses spoil the stenographer.
-
Marge Winton : Say, how about me?
Employment Clerk : You're not the type.
Marge Winton : What do mean I'm not the type? I've had lots of experience. I know office routine upside down.
Employment Clerk : Your face is against you.
Marge Winton : What's wrong with it?
Employment Clerk : Not a thing. That's just the point. The Belldon Publishing Company never hires good looking girls. This is one job were looks don't count.
-
Marge Winton : How do you do Mr. McCoy? Did I hear Jake say you were taking us all down to the beach? Say, won't that be marvelous! I've just been dying for one of those nice shore dinners. And then afterwards, we can go in the old mill. You know, the place were you ride around in little boats - in the dark.
-
Marge Winton : The Belldon Publishing Company needs a girl - but, they want a homely one.
Sadie Day : The boss' wife must run that office.
-
Marge Winton : Oh, excuse me.
Abbie Belldon : Well, come in.
Marge Winton : I - wanted to see Mr. Belldon.
Abbie Belldon : You're talking to him. Sit down.
-
Abbie Belldon : For the next series, pick a new pseudonym.
'Mabel' DeCraven : Prudence Parker?
Abbie Belldon : No, not Prudence. Let me see?
Marge Winton : Priscilla!
Abbie Belldon : Excellent! How's it sound to you 'Mabel'?
'Mabel' DeCraven : That's fine. Priscill - they might call me Prissy for short?
Abbie Belldon : They won't. I'll make it a house rule.
-
Marge Winton : Why, it's almost one o'clock.
Freddy Matthews : Yes, just think of that. And in Siam it's only eight o'clock. Funny people, those Siamese. I've been up for hours and they're still sleeping.
-
'Mabel' DeCraven : She decided that she would rather have marriage than a career. So, she went back to it.
Marge Winton : Oh, that's a beautiful story, Mr. Matthews. I'm sure it will be a great success.
'Mabel' DeCraven : It always has been.
-
'Mabel' DeCraven : Miss Lansing will see that he's charmingly entertained at the Bayview.
Marge Winton : The Bayview? Oh, goodness. Did I tell Mr. Matthews the Bayview?
'Mabel' DeCraven : You certainly did.
Marge Winton : Oh, isn't that awful. I meant to tell him the St. George. Oh, I'm afraid you'll think I'm awfully stupid.
'Mabel' DeCraven : Yes, I do. Stupid like a fox.
-
Marge Winton : Miss Lansing's jealousy is quite flattering. Goodbye, Mr. Matthews. If you decide you still want me to work for you, you know my address. Wire me. Goodbye, Miss - Miss - whatever your name is!
-
Sadie Day : What happened? I thought you were all set? You like the boss, the boss likes you. You told me the work was getting along so swell?
Marge Winton : Yes, but, the boss has a girl.
Sadie Day : Oh! I see. Marge, have you got a case on this guy?
Marge Winton : Oh, don't be ridiculous. I've never thought about him twice in that way - eh - very much.
-
Marge Winton : Say, what have you got for supper?
Sadie Day : Oh, canned soup, canned corned beef hash, canned string beans and this bag has bananas.
Marge Winton : What's the matter? Can't you find any canned bananas?
-
Freddy Matthews : I know you.
Marge Winton : You do?
Freddy Matthews : Of course, you're the girl who dropped her bag that day in the cocktail bar and I picked up all those things.
Marge Winton : Oh, was that you?
Freddy Matthews : Yes, I guess I didn't make much of an impression, did I?
Marge Winton : Well, you see, you were under the table most of the time.
-
Freddy Matthews : Well, you know how she is, sort of stiff and proper.
Marge Winton : Just a regular old maid, in fact.
Freddy Matthews : Yes. But, she's a marvelous secretary and I need her badly.
Marge Winton : I can imagine.
-
Marge Winton : Perhaps you'd like to join me? Do you like canned corned beef hash?
Freddy Matthews : No. However, I have a very good idea. Why don't you come out and have dinner with me?
Marge Winton : Oh, but I couldn't do that.
Freddy Matthews : Why not?
Marge Winton : Well, I hardly know you.
Freddy Matthews : You'll know be better after dinner.
-
Freddy Matthews : You - it's strange.
Marge Winton : What?
Freddy Matthews : I have a funny feeling that I am not I and you are not you.
Marge Winton : Who do you think I am then?
Freddy Matthews : We're two totally different people in a world of our own. A world that started a few hours ago. A world just for the two of us and nobody else.
-
Freddy Matthews : I dislike brunettes. I dislike them! They make me moody. I like girls who are blonde and about five feet three and weigh about 112 pounds.
Marge Winton : I get my dime back. I weigh 118.
Freddy Matthews : Well, six more pounds to have and to hold.
Marge Winton : Oh, Freddy, what delightful nonsense.
-
Freddy Matthews : But before I go...
Marge Winton : Yes.
Freddy Matthews : There's something I want to say to you. Something that's going to be very difficult for me to say.
Marge Winton : What's that?
Freddy Matthews : Good night.
Marge Winton : [laughs] Oh, you idiot! Good night.
-
Abbie Belldon : How's the novel coming?
Marge Winton : Well, to be frank, Miss Belldon, it was progressing quite nicely until last night.
Abbie Belldon : Come on, tell me, women or liquor?
-
Marge Winton : Where's Mr. Matthews now?
Annie - the Cleaning Lady : I believe he's in the rear, Madam. Checking some incoming baggage.
-
Marge Winton : That's all the more reason why you should work right now.
Freddy Matthews : Okay. You win. Go get your notebook. I'll dictate to you while they work on me.
-
Abbie Belldon : Where's Marge?
Freddy Matthews : Marge is gone forever. This is Sadie.
[pointing to Marge]
Jake Edgall : Now, wait a minute. Let's get this straight. Who are you?
[pointing to Marge]
Marge Winton : Sadie.
Abbie Belldon : Who is Sadie?
Sadie Day : Marge.
Jake Edgall : Why?
'Mabel' DeCraven : Oh, I get it. She's Sadie that's really Marge. Just like I'm Mabel when I'm not Mike.
Jake Edgall : Who am I?
Marge Winton : You're Jake.
Jake Edgall : Well, now we're gettin' somewhere. If she ain't Marge anymore. And she's Sadie. Who have I been keepin' company with?
Sadie Day : Me.
Jake Edgall : Who are you?
Sadie Day : Susie.
Jake Edgall : Then, I never met you before?
Sadie Day : That's right.
Marge Winton : I wish you'd get your names straight.
Freddy Matthews : So do I.
-
Sadie Day : Sardines? That sure sounds romantic.
Marge Winton : I don't want romance. All I want's a job.
Sadie Day : Pardon me.
-
Camille Lansing : Are you calling me an unnecessary interruption?
Marge Winton : Frankly, yes!
