Bill 'Billy' Williams , Sylvia Bruce : [singing] We'll make hay while the sun shines, We'll make love when it rains...
-
Bill 'Billy' Williams : Hey, come out of the clouds. Come down to earth. You're in Hollywood. Hollywood, California.
Sylvia Bruce : Yes, I know. This is Hollywood, isn't it. Everything a motion picture set. It's all artificial. The costumes, the scenery, the people.
Bill 'Billy' Williams : You're telling me.
Sylvia Bruce : Yes, I'm telling you. You're just part of this. You belong here. Possibly you're just as fake as the scenery.
Bill 'Billy' Williams : Oh, you think so, huh?
Sylvia Bruce : You're really no more sincere than those songs of yours about love and the moonlight or whatever else it is your crooning about. You're just a voice that croons about something that once was real. You're not real, Bill Williams. You're just a fake!
-
Sylvia Bruce : Music, life, love. That's what I need. And that's what I'm going to get!
-
Sylvia Bruce : Are you going somewhere?
Bill 'Billy' Williams : Yes. I'm going to Hollywood.
Sylvia Bruce : Oh, oh, that's too bad. But, why are you going?
Bill 'Billy' Williams : I'm going out there to make a movie. Don't you read the papers?
Sylvia Bruce : No. And I don't go to movies very often either.
-
Sylvia Bruce : I just came up here to thank you.
Bill 'Billy' Williams : Thank me? For what?
Sylvia Bruce : For what you did for me last night.
Bill 'Billy' Williams : Last night? Where were you?
Sylvia Bruce : I was at Miss Briarcroft's School.
Bill 'Billy' Williams : Did I go to a school last night?
-
Bill 'Billy' Williams : Bon jouwa. Bon jouwa! Bon jouwa.
Sylvia Bruce : Bon jour, Monsieur. It isn't "bon jouwa." It's bon jour!
-
Sylvia Bruce : I'm terribly in love with you. Yes. And I wondered, what are we going to do about it?
Bill 'Billy' Williams : What are *we* going to do about it?
Sylvia Bruce : Yes, it's an awful problem, isn't it?
-
Sylvia Bruce : Remember, Monsieur Williams, it's 'bon jour' and not 'bon jouwa.' And the next thing to remember is 'au revoir.'
Bill 'Billy' Williams : What does that mean?
Sylvia Bruce : It means: till we met again. Au revoir.
-
Conroy : Hey you!
Sylvia Bruce : Me?
Conroy : Come here. - That's all. - Let me see your legs.

Conroy : [unimpressed] I've seen those before.

Jill : Say, listen, you'll never break into movies that way.
Sylvia Bruce : I don't wanna break into movies.
Jill : You don't what?
Sylvia Bruce : No. I just came here to see somebody inside the studio.
Jill : You mean to stand there and tell me that you don't think you're better than Norma Shearer?
[Sylvia shakes her head no]
Jill : Say, can I touch you?
Sylvia Bruce : Do you think you're better than Norma Shearer?
Jill : I do; but, they don't.

Sylvia Bruce : Allons-y!
Jill : What's the matter?
Sylvia Bruce : That's French for: let's go.
Jill : You speak French?
Sylvia Bruce : A-hum.
Jill : What a break! I got a French book at home that a boy brought me once.
-
Sylvia Bruce : Do you suppose if I call the studio, I could talk to him?
Jill : I suppose you could; but, there's been a little argument between the telephone company and me about a bill.
-
Jill : Say, sweets, you look all in. How about lying down?
Sylvia Bruce : Yes, I am kinda tired, at that.
