- Dixie Dugan: Say, I've heard plenty about that Buelow. He's a big shot. I've seen out front of our show several times. You know, I read somewhere he gets five thousand a week.
- Jimmie Doyle: Five thousand what? Cigar coupons?
- Dixie Dugan: If you had his power and his bankroll...
- Jimmie Doyle: Yes, I know the type, the minute he meets a girl he starts feeling her ribs and talking about a screen test.
- Dixie Dugan: Hello, there. I'm Miss Dixie Dugan. I'm going to be on a contract with the studio.
- Reception Clerk: Who isn't.
- Dixie Dugan: I've come all the way out from New York.
- Reception Clerk: Who hasn't.
- Dixie Dugan: I wanna see the boss.
- Reception Clerk: Who doesn't.
- Dixie Dugan: You're a peach, Mr. Buelow.
- Frank Buelow - The Director: Oh, now, now, now, you mustn't call me Mr. Buelow. Call me Daddy.
- Frank Buelow - The Director: I'll arrange a nice little dinner tonight up at my place in the Hills.
- Dixie Dugan: Oh, a Hollywood party?
- Frank Buelow - The Director: Well, sort of a party. Just two people who are interested in each others future. I'll have the contract there, waiting for your signature.
- Dixie Dugan: [backstage, after the show has flopped] You could have sent the audience home in a taxi.
- Bill - NIghtclub Emcee: And now, customers, I have the pleasure to present Miss DIxie Dugan - Brooklyn girl who came to the City and made good.
- Frank Buelow - The Director: Miss Dugan, have you ever thought of going into pictures?
- Dixie Dugan: You mean the galloping snapshots?
- Frank Buelow - The Director: Yes. You know, Hollywood needs fresh, new personalities.
- Dixie Dugan: Oh, I'd just love to be out there amongst those cowboys and those Indians.
- Frank Buelow - The Director: Well, I'm the fellow who can put you there.
- Frank Buelow - The Director: I also have the privilege of selecting my own cast, too. I make these trips each week to discover new talent.
- Dixie Dugan: Well, you're one up on Columbus, right now, you've discovered me.
- Jimmie Doyle: What was that mug trying to sell you?
- Dixie Dugan: I'm going to Hollywood to be a picture star. Mr. Buelow can fix it up for me in a big way with sound effects!
- Jimmie Doyle: Now, get this Dixie Dugan, you let this big wind storm kid you into going to Hollywood, you and I are all washed up! And I'll never, never speak to you again.
- Dixie Dugan: But, I'll be speaking to you - and all the rest of the world, over the Vitaphone.
- Donna Harris: Listen, Dixie, they've got one thing I haven't: youth. Young necks, young legs and young eyes and slim, soft young bodies. And when it comes to those things, you can't fool the camera.
- Dixie Dugan: What's this old stuff? You're still young.
- Donna Harris: I'm 32 and in this business when you're over 32 you're older than those hills out there.
- Dixie Dugan: Hollywood can't really be like that.
- Donna Harris: Remember: this is all a land of make believe. Everybody is making believe to everybody else.
- Frank Buelow - The Director: Bing, you telephone all gatemen, if they ever let that dame in this studio again, I'm going to make trouble for them.
- Dixie Dugan: I give up. I guess I'll get a job at a factory where they make little straw hats for horses.
- Dixie Dugan: How was I?
- Kramer - the Director: All right.
- Dixie Dugan: All right? I thought it was swell.
- Kramer - the Director: Now, save your energy for the hysterics.
- Jimmie Doyle: I do know your work better than anybody else and you're not giving us your old sparkle.
- Dixie Dugan: Sparkle, your grandma! What do you think this is? The Fourth of July?
- Sam Otis - The Producer: Where's Dixie?
- Jimmie Doyle: She went over to the Montmartre for lunch. We're expecting her back any minute now, Mr. Otis.
- Sam Otis - The Producer: Montmartre? Has she gone Hollywood?
- Jimmie Doyle: Good evening friends in Radioland. Really, this has all been so wonderful tonight. And I'm so nervous that, really, the palms of my hands just feel like Niagara Falls.
- Jimmie Doyle: Don't kid yourself, honey. Motion Picture Producers are businessmen. Making moving pictures is their business. Not arguing with temperamental dames.
