• Buck Rankin : Gee, you look pretty. I'm afraid to touch you.

• Mac : How do you like that? You just get out of the can and here am I bellyaching.

  Buck Rankin : Still running true to form.

• Mac : Why do we have to fly to New York? You know I got a delicate stomach.

  Buck Rankin : You know I have to be in New York by 10 o'clock in the morning; besides, I've never been up in plane.

  Mac : No, you've never been to Mars either.

• Buck Rankin : We're through with that penny ante stuff. I've learned a lot since I've seen you, Mac. We were pikers before. Cheap, tin horn, grifters. But, that's all we knew. And we'll be grifters again; but, in a big way for big dough. I've got idears, Mac. You and I are going places.

  Buck Rankin : So, it's real then. Had you have told me he's tall, blond, and handsome, then maybe I'd had something to worry about.

• Mac : I tell you this calm before the storm stuff is a bad sign!

  Buck Rankin : Quit your squawking, Mac, and beat it.

• Buck Rankin : No man worth a darn is taking a chance on the woman he loves.

• Buck Rankin : Don't let's think of tomorrow, honey. Besides, tomorrow never comes. It's always today. Know we have it now.
