Quotes 

• Dee Foster : You all think you're smart. But, it's just the old story of sour grapes!

  Durgan : Well, they weren't sour when the biggest Johns on Broadway used to drink champagne out of my slippers. Now look at me. I lost everything, just because I let my fool heart lose my head.

• Dee Foster : [singing]  They got, a lot, of what you are missing; They're hot, so hot, red hot, when they're kissing; They hug you, they cuddle you, they mug you, befuddle you; Those Broadway baby dolls.

• Navarre King : You two dames must think I'm under contract.

  Dee Foster : Don't crab at doing a kind deed, dearie, or you'll never be a good girl scout.

• Dee Foster : Say, I want to know where you two nitwits would be if it wasn't for Billy? Tell me that, will ya? Still wiggling in a Coney Island honky tonk, that's where; instead of a real Broadway Revue.

  Navarre King : Oh, Billy ain't such a bad egg. In fact, he's too fresh.

  Florine Chanler : He hates himself and that's the kind of an egg I don't want to coddle.

  Dee Foster : Don't fool yourself. You'll never get the chance, sister.

• Dee Foster : We're gonna get together, every so often, to dish the dirt and to spill the scandal.

• Durgan : I ain't squawkin' girlie, but, I hate to see you marry off without the money. A chorus dame can't ever be happy without it.

  Dee Foster : You'll see. I'll marry Billy for better or for worse. And love it!

  Durgan : Oh, listen, with your figure, you could get things far better than you get with that ham!

  Dee Foster : Go ahead, say it, Durgan. You can't change my mind. I'm in love! Plumb cuckoo about Billy.

  Durgan : That's just it, dearie. Cuckoo love ain't the wedlock kind and marriage ain't Broadway's language.

• Dee Foster : If you're going to make that dizzy dame make you, why not wait until after working hours?

• August Brand : Mr. Gessant is in the importing business in Detroit.

  Dee Foster : Really? Importing? Oh, you mean perfumes and things like that in bottles?

  Nick Stepanos : Yeah, in bottles.

• Dee Foster : So, this is what I can expect you to be after we're married. A bully!

  Billy Buvanny : Oh, listen, honey girl...

  Dee Foster : Oh, save that chatter for your big-eyed bimbos!

  Billy Buvanny : I'm gonna make you listen to me.

  Dee Foster : Don't waste your breathe. You can't kiss that gold digger one minute and tell me what to do the next. You can't get away with it - you two-timer!

• Billy Buvanny : You can't turn me down like this. I've been planning a celebration.

  Dee Foster : Why didn't you tell me that before you swapped kisses with that hunk of baloney?

• Dee Foster : Gee, kids, we'll be famous!

  Florine Chanler : Famous? How much does that pay?

  Nick Stepanos : Plenty, kiddo.

• Dee Foster : [singing]  Everyday is baby day on dear old Broadway, That's were all the babies congregate, And you have to nurse them in a very odd way...
