Richard Morey : Oh, but you must. And you will. How about some candy, too? Here you are. You like sweets?
[piling on the candy boxes]
Richard Morey : One more.
Eve Fallon : Please! I'll have to get a truck to carry all these things home.
Richard Morey : No, you won't. My car's right here at the door.
[to the sales clerk]
Richard Morey : Charge it, will you?

Richard Morey : An apartment, French maid, your own car and chauffeur. Doesn't it sound good?
Eve Fallon : [deadpan] Mmmmm. Too good to be true.
Richard Morey : It... could be true.
Eve Fallon : [sardonically] And all I'd have to do is manicure your nails?
Eve Fallon : [getting up to leave] Here's my house.
Richard Morey : But Eve, haven't you forgotten something?
Eve Fallon : Yeah, my key, but I'll slip through the transom.
Richard Morey : But what about the candy and perfume?
Eve Fallon : Ah, give the candy to your chauffeur and use the perfume yourself.

Danny Barr : Where?
Eve Fallon : I don't know. I'm not going - you are.
Danny Barr : Well look, what time is it?
Eve Fallon : What time does your train leave?
Danny Barr : How do you know I'm going by train? I might be going by boat.
Eve Fallon : What kind of a boat?
Danny Barr : I don't know. I haven't seen it yet.

Benny Battle : [In barber shop running his hand on the back of manicurist Eve Fallon] Eeny, meanie, mynie, mo. I'll take this one.
Eve Fallon : Oh, so you're the guy who ran his thumb down my back.
Benny Battle : Your truly, Benjamin Battle! How's it, Babe?
Eve Fallon : How's it yourself?... I knew it was you. I know the feel of your fingerprints.
Benny Battle : Ouch! Never say 'fingerprints' when I'm around. It gives me a sickly feeling.
Eve Fallon : Yeah, I'd have a nasty answer for that if I wasn't workin' here. What can I do for you?
Benny Battle : Oh, give me a manicure, but don't rush it. I'd like you to hold my hands.
Eve Fallon : Oh! Too bad I can't work with my gloves.

Danny Barr : Gettin' yourself dolled up?
Danny Barr : Yeah, there's nuttin' like spendin' a half hour in a barber shop that makes a new man out of ya.
Danny Barr : When did ya get out outta the can?
Benny Battle : About an hour ago, thanks to the habby-us corpus.
Danny Barr : Yeah, and that shyster lawyer of yours.
Benny Battle : I wouldn't talk like that. Ya might get pinched for slander.
Eve Fallon : Yeah, and don't carry any matches; they're liable to charge you with arson.
Benny Battle : Hey, Chalkie, get me a pineapple soda. Get me a big lump of whipped cream on it, and a nice red cherry. How's it, babe?
Danny Barr : How d'ya like that chair?
Benny Battle : I like it, 'specially when I'm tired.
Danny Barr : Well, there's one upstate looks just like it. Ya wouldn't care for that one would ya?
Benny Battle : No thanks. I'm not that tired.

Eve Fallon : If you happen to be around my way, come up and see me some time.

Eve Fallon : I knew it was you. I know the feel of your fingerprints.

Eve Fallon : Yeah, but how about the nights?
