• Kara : You have a couple of dangerous curves yourself.

  Phyllis Ericson : Oh, yes? Where are they?

• Kara : If he had any jack, he wouldn't sit there staring at me. He'd be in here crushing the life out of me - and making me like it.

• Kara : What? Me go back to a man after he's lost his dough. Are you crazy?

• Kara : [singing]  Have a lot of sweeties, Still I'm fancy free, I'll always stay that way, Playing around, Having no care, Never say yes, Making them guess, All the while, Laughing at life, Getting my share, Letting them come, Letting them go, With a smile...

• Kara : This is certainly one pip of a day!

• Richard Carewe : I was afraid you might be insulted.

  Kara : I am insulted - most pleasantly.

• Kara : I suppose you have your little check all made out and everything?

  Kara : What guarantee have you that I'll keep *my* end of the bargain?

  Richard Carewe : Your sense of honor.

• Kara : Now, let me get this straight. You say that you'll give me 5,000 tonight if I make people believe for a month that you're my new Daddy?

• Phyllis Ericson : I'd just love to be you.

  Kara : Would you?

  Phyllis Ericson : Yes. To wear such clothes and dance and see men's eyes just pop out of their heads. And to have my picture all over the map. Oh, gee!

• Kara : Don't worry. The wicked firefly isn't going to burn your little Dickie boy.
