Merritt : Wait a minute. I've been on a regular merry-go-round here. I need a little relaxation. What are you doing tonight?
Sarah : Nothing.
Merritt : Don't you think it would be rather pleasant to take a little drive and forget about business?
Sarah : No. I've been expecting this.
Merritt : Are you a mind-reader?
Sarah : You're easy. I can tell the way a man looks at me. Besides, you raised my salary and, then again, you never even touched me nor held my hand. Which alone is so unusual it makes a girl suspicious.
Merritt : Ha-ha-ha. Still one step ahead of me. Well, you've got to give me credit. I don't do this sort of thing often.
Sarah : Oh, yes you do. I'm your Secretary. I ought to know.
Merritt : Well, my interests in women is just nervousness.
Sarah : Well, then, don't get a nervous with me.
Merritt : Ha-ha-ha, alright. But, I can't help being sorry you are a good woman as well as a good Secretary.

Joe Martin : I'm on to that guy. Does he ever do anything but gab and drink?
Sarah : He's terribly busy! You heard him say he was going to a conference.
Joe Martin : Conference? Blonde or brunette?

Sarah : Are you really jealous about me and Mr. Merritt? He's been awfully descent to me and I respect him.
Joe Martin : Go on, let him have you. I know what's what, you know. It's what it amounts to. He's soft on you and you're eaten it up in a big way. Go on, I don't blame you. Maybe he'll raise you two bucks a week.

Merritt : Your friend, he's a raving lunatic.
Sarah : Oh, no he isn't. He's smart. He's ambitious and he feels everyone's against him and he's had a lot of hard knocks and he's bitter about it. He wants to get ahead.
Merritt : I can't figure out what you see in him?
Sarah : You don't know him. There's a side to him that other people don't see. He's, he's got a lot of imagination and he's sensitive. He pretends to be tough because things hurt him and he doesn't want to be hurt.
Merritt : Well, for your sake, I'll take another look at this very sensitive young man. I'm going downstairs to get a rub down. Tell him he can see me there.

Sarah : What good has it done you?
Joe Martin : Nothing. Just a lot of dreams that turned into nightmares before I could touch 'em.
