Quotes 

• Peerless Pauline : I've waited so long to find someone like you.

  J. Cheever Loophole : Oh, someone *like* me, I'm not good enough for you, eh?

• Peerless Pauline : Oh, but, you don't have to go right now, do you?

  J. Cheever Loophole : Well, there's nothing to keep me here that I can see, from this angle.

  Peerless Pauline : But, we, we hardly know each other. I can be very entertaining if I want to be.

  J. Cheever Loophole : [Speaking directly to the camera]  There must be some way of getting that money without getting in trouble with the Hays Office.

  [Speaking to Pauline] 

  J. Cheever Loophole : Will you walk on your hands?

• Peerless Pauline : But it's so easy. The bottom of your shoe creates a suction that holds you up on the ceiling.

  J. Cheever Loophole : No, no, I'd rather not. I have an agreement with the houseflies. The flies don't practice law and I don't walk on the ceiling.

• Peerless Pauline : You're the man I've been dreaming of!

  J. Cheever Loophole : What do you eat before you go to bed?

• Peerless Pauline : Oh, you'll love it! Come on, Cheever.

  J. Cheever Loophole : Are you sure we are not being too hasty. After all, I am just a boy. You're, you're a trooper, an aerial star.

  Peerless Pauline : Yes. You could be too. You're tall. You're strong.

  J. Cheever Loophole : You're nearsighted!

• Peerless Pauline : Once you do this, you'll never forget it.
