Quotes 

• Jerry : I'll tell you why you welched on us.

  Durant : You needn't bother.

  Jerry : The reason that you backed out is because you couldn't get to first base with Kitty.

  Durant : That's a wild one, even for you, Jerry.

• Jerry : Now, listen, Joe, you've got this kid scared to death. Just leave him to me. I'll take care of him.

  Joe : Yeah? Well, can I depend on that?

  Jerry : Sure. Now, screw. I'll take care of Jimmy.

  Joe : All right, but, say, let me tell ya somethin'. If any one of you birds get actin' crooked, why, it's just gonna be too bad. Just too bad!

• Kitty : I could get Mr. Wallace to help us. Oh, Jerry, I know what he wants and so do you.

  Jerry : Now see here, Kitty, there's only a few of you sweet kids left. Stay that way. Get me?

  Kitty : I know, but, maybe I could make him my slave without even lettin' him touch me.

  Jerry : Your self-confidence is only exceeded by my big feet.

• Kitty : Oh, Jerry. I know how that racket works.

  Jerry : No, forget it! If you try to pull any gag like that around here, I'll make your Dad spank you.

• Jerry : Nita, aren't you due on? The second act is nearly over.

  Nita : Just in a few minutes.

  Jerry : But, you're not dressed?

  Nita : Well, what woman is nowadays?

  Jerry : Oh, quit cracking wise.

  Nita : Oh, listen to the slave driver. Where's your whip?

  Sam Bloom : Don't mind him. He's in trouble.

  Nita : Aren't we all!

• Jerry : Be a good scout. Be human.

  Nita : Listen, do I get my dough or shall I put my clothes on and go home? You know, I'm catching cold sittin' around here.

  Sarah : Cold? I'm getting pneumonia looking at you.

• Jerry : Bring down. I'm licked.

• Jerry : He thinks he's Sherlock Holmes. He's got a one track mind with rear end collision.

• Kitty : You don't understand. I can't go on!

  Jerry : You've got to go on in this racket today. Always. On with the show!

• 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.

• Jerry : Gee, Nita, you're a peach.

  Nita : Ah, don't get gooey.
