Quotes 

• Melton : He's not in his best mood.

  Pat O'Connor : He's probably taken a look at my expense account.

  Melton : Yes, I glanced at it too. Miscellaneous - a hundred dollars? Isn't that excessive for miscellaneous?

  Pat O'Connor : Not when it's a blonde.

• Pat O'Connor : Sorry, I've got the industry pretty well tied up. You better switch to ladies underwear or corsets.

  Angela Twitchell : Pretty sure of yourself, aren't you, Mr. O'Connor.

• Pat O'Connor : Oh, you wouldn't steal a poor traveling salesman's business away now, would you?

  Angela Twitchell : When I do, try suspenders or shoelaces.

• Pat O'Connor : What's holding up the parade, honey?

  Miss Wells : I've told you a dozen times, Mr. O'Connor. He's got someone in there.

  Pat O'Connor : Well, I know. But, they've been in there for over a half an hour, sweetheart. Couldn't you just sort of trickle in and whisper in his ear that Pat O'Connor, in person, is gettin' pretty darn tired of waitin'.

  Miss Wells : He doesn't like me to go in there when he's tied up.

  Pat O'Connor : Why, if I were Mr. McNeill you couldn't come in often enough, darling.

• Pat O'Connor : Hello Andy.

  Andy McNeill : Hello, Pat. Glad to see you. So, you two know each other?

  Angela Twitchell : We've met; but, we don't know each other.

  Andy McNeill : Boy, watch your step. She's got a line of goods that's dynamite.

• Andy McNeill : I've just bought the girl's whole line. Here, look.

  Pat O'Connor : Don't show it to me! I know it by heart. I've read so many Cocktail Toothpaste ads I go to bed drunk every night.

• Pat O'Connor : I've seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go. So, gather the rose buds while you may. I'll still be selling Twitchell's when the buyers have forgotten whether Schmidt's made toothpaste or sausage casings.

• Pat O'Connor : There you go talking shop again. Its eight o'clock. Let's make an agreement - after eight o'clock no toothpaste talk.

  Angela Twitchell : Okay. From eight AM till eight PM - deadly enemies.

  Pat O'Connor : Okay. And from eight PM to eight AM?

  Angela Twitchell : Time will tell.

• Claudette : Darling!

  Pat O'Connor : Claudette,where did you come from? Out of a crack in the wall?

  Claudette : No, I go lonely for you in New York. I telephoned your office and they said you were here. So, here am I...

  Pat O'Connor : Well, I'm sorry. Gee, I wish I'd have known. I'm all dated up.

  Claudette : Your dated up? With whom?

  Pat O'Connor : Well, eh, with the Chamber of Commerce. One of those, eh, stag affairs. Very dull.

  Claudette : Don't tell me I came all the way to Detroit to twiddle my thumbs.

• Pat O'Connor : You are, without a doubt, the most unethical, unscrupulous. conniving, sales person I've ever had the bad luck to run into. You've knifed me, you've cut my throat, you've stolen my business. Male or female, I'd like to break your neck.

  Angela Twitchell : Why don't you!

• Angela Twitchell : I'm only human. I'd kinda hate to take business away from the man I'm falling in love with.

  Pat O'Connor : Come here a minute. Did you say falling?

  Angela Twitchell : Fell.

• Pat O'Connor : [O'Connor calling on a pay phone]  Miss Martha Smith?

  Martha Smith : Yes, honey, this is Martha Smith. What do y'all want?

  Pat O'Connor : Is this Miss Martha Smith?

  Martha Smith : Yes. Dis is Martha Smith. I dun told you once, what do y'all want?

  Pat O'Connor : Well, I sho 'nough don't want you!

• Angela Twitchell : After dinner with him, what did you do?

  Pat O'Connor : I tried to find you.

  Angela Twitchell : Did you look in the phone book?

  Pat O'Connor : Darling, there's 4,555 and one-half Martha Smiths in New York. Started to call them, but I ran out of nickels.

• Angela Twitchell : You going on the Century?

  Pat O'Connor : No, I'm going to fly.

  Angela Twitchell : Oh, darling, I hate the idea of you flying. Something might happen to you.

  Pat O'Connor : Oh, that's absurd.

  Angela Twitchell : Oh, promise me you won't fly. I can't bear the thought of you in the air.

  Pat O'Connor : Well, honey, if you feel that way about it.

  Angela Twitchell : Let's meet at the train, shall we?

• Claudette : So, you've been two-timing on me, huh! After all that toothpaste I bought from you. Well, I'm through with men from now on!

  Angela Twitchell : So am I! They're not to be trusted. Let's get outta here!

  Pat O'Connor : Wait a minute!

  Angela Twitchell , Claudette : Gigolo!

• Angela Twitchell : Pat! Pat!
