Bob : You know I'm very much in love with you, don't you?
Bonnie : Are you?
Bob : I'm crazy about you, and you know it.
Bonnie : I didn't know.
Bob : Well, you know it now. What about it?
Bonnie : That's it... what?
Bob : Going to make me stand on ceremony?
Bonnie : You think I'm so old-fashioned?
Bob : I hope not.
Bonnie : You're right. I'm not. I believe in... in trying love out.
Bob : On approval?
Bonnie : Yes, on approval.

Bob : [Bonnie pulls away after Bob kisses her] What's the matter? You've kissed me before, haven't you?
Bonnie : Yes, but that wasn't a permanent arrangement, was it?
Bob : Aren't you being clever?
Bonnie : And aren't you being vague as usual?
Bob : All right, if that's what you want, I'll set you up in a real establishment anytime you like. You don't have to make your living off of Jake Luva, dancing in his nightclub. I can do much better for you than that. Now, is that less vague?
Bonnie : That's very clear. Now we understand each other. I'm a cheap little dancer in a night club, and you thought you could have me on your own terms. Well, you're mistaken! I can still pick my own men, Mr. Townsend, and right now it's Jake Luva.

Bob : What's funny?
Bonnie : You're thinking you *ought* to marry me.
Bob : It's the least I can do, isn't it?
Bonnie : Kiss me, Bob.
[kiss]
Bonnie : Don't be silly, darling. You don't have to be a martyr to the cause. Everything is 50-50. You know that.
Bob : You mean that?
Bonnie : 50-50. Absolutely no obligation on anybody's part. So, cheer up. No wedding bells for us.
Bob : You're not being heroic?
Bonnie : I'm quite myself, I assure you. I like my freedom just as much as you do, Bob. And I intend to keep it.

Bob : Lights out! All right, stand by everybody and - off with your clothes. Come on.
