Quotes 

• Phyllis Ericson : It's about time I began. What chance does a girl nowadays, if she doesn't do this and won't do that?

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

  Phyllis Ericson : Oh, yes? Where are they?

• Mrs. Ericson : What's she like?

  Phyllis Ericson : Oh, you've seen her on the posters down at the railroad station. That wild, voluptuous looking creature with the red hair and nude hip.

  Mrs. Ericson : What can people see in such a vulgar display?

• Richard Carewe : I was never taught how - to remove a lady's cloak of respect.

  Phyllis Ericson : Well, suppose I show you how. First, I put my arm around your shoulder like this. Then I lean my cheek against your head, sympathetically.

  Richard Carewe : Yes. But, I don't need any sympathy.

  Phyllis Ericson : Oh, you don't know how to play!

• Phyllis Ericson : Do you approve of that costume? There seems to be so little of it.

• Phyllis Ericson : Dick, why do you respect me?

  Richard Carewe : I don't know.

  Phyllis Ericson : I wish you wouldn't respect me so much. It makes me feel awfully lonely; like I was a marble statue in a park. Couldn't you respect me a little less? Just now and then.

• Phyllis Ericson : Dick, what do you wish for most in the world?

• Phyllis Ericson : Hello, Dick, darling.

• Phyllis Ericson : He's been awfully good to me, Dick has.

• Phyllis Ericson : Whatever kind of wonderful kind of person like you, see in an old dry as dust, like Dick, here?

  Kara : Oh, dry as gold dust!

• 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!

• Phyllis Ericson : Richard? Dick? You!

• Phyllis Ericson : Mustn't say "dear", dear. People might hear and then there'd be a scandal.

  Richard Carewe : You're so strange.

  Phyllis Ericson : You're a revelation!
