- Danny Jones: Gee I can't eat, I can't sleep. Why I've gone around all day with nobody in my head but you.
- Blondie Johnson: Bet you had a tough time getting your hat over both of us.
- Danny Jones: Well you make me sick. If you was my dame I'd break your neck.
- Blondie Johnson: If I was your dame I'd deserve it.
- Blondie Johnson: I hope you'll notice I don't take a back seat when it comes to boiling coffee.
- Danny Jones: You don't take a back seat when comes to anything boiling.
- Danny's Secretary: Well, I hope you're satisfied! You found him undressed, didn't you?
- Blondie Johnson: Tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut. You peeked.
- Red: You got a swell head on your shoulders.
- Blondie Johnson: Another thing, Red, always see that you just admire my head.
- Red: Oh, I ain't dumb. I can see the hand-writin' on the ceiling.
- Welfare Interviewer: Where did you last work?
- Blondie Johnson: In a laundry on 14th Street. The Star Laundry. But, that was four months ago. I haven't been able to get any kind of work since.
- Welfare Interviewer: Laid off?
- Blondie Johnson: I - I quit.
- Welfare Interviewer: Oh, yes? Why?
- Blondie Johnson: I had to. The boss wouldn't let me alone. He...
- Welfare Interviewer: So, you quit! That's all for now, Miss Johnson.
- Blondie Johnson: Money - that's all I've ever heard. Money!
- A.I. Frankel, Attorney: Certainly. The ones that have it - have it. And the ones who don't - don't.
- Red: What's the idea? Who are you?
- Blondie Johnson: Santa Claus. I had my face lifted and my beard growing under my hat.
- Blondie Johnson: Listen, Red, this city is going to be my oyster and if you stick with me, you're going to help me open it.
- Blondie Johnson: As soon as I was old enough, I quit school and got a job at a laundry and worked with a bunch of ignorant foreigners. I got fired because I wouldn't let a filthy old muzzler put his hands on me.
- Blondie Johnson: I know all the answers - and I know what it's all about. I found out the only thing worthwhile is dough! And I'm gonna get it, see!
- Blondie Johnson: This city's gonna pay me a livin'. A good livin'! And its gonna get back from me, just as little as I have to give.
- Danny Jones: What are you trying to do? Put ideas in my head?
- Blondie Johnson: There's certainly plenty of room for 'em.
- Blondie Johnson: Would you like to dance?
- Al Scannel: If you're not afraid.
- Blondie Johnson: Of who?
- Al Scannel: You're marvelous.
- Danny Jones: I like you, see.
- [tries to kiss Blondie]
- Blondie Johnson: Ah-ah, big boy. The ride's over. You keep your own seat.
- Danny Jones: Ah, but listen kid...
- Blondie Johnson: I started to, but you do all your talkin' with your hands.
- Danny Jones: You mean to tell me you just brought me here for coffee?
- Blondie Johnson: I brought you here for business. But, you don't seem to be able to keep your mind on it.
- Danny Jones: Well, what's on your mind?
- Blondie Johnson: Something a lot more important than is on yours!
- Danny Jones: All right, baby. I'm sorry. I'll lay off the finger exercises. From now on, I'll be colder around you than a monkey's nose.
- Danny Jones: I like you too much to let you fool yourself. Max is on to you. He don't like you at all. He told me to drop you.
- Blondie Johnson: Drop me?
- Danny Jones: Yeah. He thinks you're too smart. I ain't got any use for dames without ears.
- Blondie Johnson: Can't you see? Can't you get it through your head that whenever a man falls there's always a dame at the bottom of it? Look at Joe with Lulu, Eddie with Mae. Both those guys would go far but they got a couple of dames slowin' 'em up.
- Danny Jones: They may be goin' slower, but they're havin' a better time on the way. Oh, listen, kid, we're in the fast game, see. It don't last long. Can't we have a little fun before its all over?
- Mae: Why don't give him a tumble?
- Blondie Johnson: Maybe I got reasons.
- Mae: Who are they?
- Blondie Johnson: Ah, I don't mean that. I like him better than anybody, see. But, I got plans. Big plans! And the one thing that don't fit in with 'em is pants.
- Danny Jones: All right, kid, if you ain't gonna wise up.
- Blondie Johnson: Why don't you wise up? Why don't you stick a pin in that puffed-up head of yours and come down to earth?
