• Kitty : I'm certainly praying for a good house. You know, tonight tells the tale: Broadway or bust!

  Jimmy : Gosh, honey, I know the show would have a better chance if you were up there on the stage.

  Kitty : I wonder - if I ever will get a break.

  Jimmy : Sure you will! You're gonna be a big star on Broadway. Why, with your youth and beauty and me, in back of ya, why, honey, we're a cinch!

  Kitty : Together: we're sure fire!

• Jimmy : Oh, you dirty rat!

• Jimmy : Your breath!

  Kitty : Oh, now, calm down. Everything's all right. Nothing's happened.

  Jimmy : You had a drink with that flat tire! Oh no, nothing's wrong, nothing's happened.

  Kitty : Oh, Jimmy, he and I were just...

  Jimmy : Just in here alone with the door shut! Waiting' for a street car, I suppose?

• Jimmy : What happened between you and Wallace?

  Nita : He hit me, the egg. He struck a defenseless woman.

  Jerry : And what did you do?

  Nita : Oh, I stayed within the law, all right. He'll live. Yep, he hit me and I mopped up the dressing room with him.

  Sam Bloom : Why all this battle between you two?

  Nita : The best reason in the world: we are married.

• Jimmy : You kept it a secret long enough.

  Nita : Say, you'd keep it a secret too if you were married to that kippered herring.
