• Bramwell Van Dusen, a Lawyer : [speaking of Miss Douglas]  Hey, are you going for her?

  Mr. William Watts : Aw, she wouldn't look at me. I just like her, so I want to get her the best husband I can to make her happy. That's why you got to do something about Allie.

  Bramwell Van Dusen, a Lawyer : Did you ever try to do anything about Allie?

  Mr. William Watts : I should say not!

  Bramwell Van Dusen, a Lawyer : When she decides she likes a man, he likes it or else.

  Mr. William Watts : Or else what?

  Bramwell Van Dusen, a Lawyer : Or else he learns to like it.

  Mr. William Watts : Well, you talk to her. Explain that she's not the one for Don.

  Bramwell Van Dusen, a Lawyer : I did.

  Mr. William Watts : What did she say?

  Bramwell Van Dusen, a Lawyer : Oh, an assortment of things. Almonds, pecans, filberts, walnuts.

  Mr. William Watts : She'd probably say the same thing to me if I talked to her.

  Bramwell Van Dusen, a Lawyer : Yeah, only in one word.

• Bramwell Van Dusen, a Lawyer : You look like a well-kept grave. --Said to Pert Kelton, when she enters and spins around. Compare this to WC Fields' comment about Jan Duggan in The Old Fashioned Way, released two weeks earlier: She's all dressed up like a well-kept grave.
