Quotes 

• Steve Canfield : Let me get this straight. You mean you want to stay in *my* suite?

  Dr. Ann Wotters : Oh, I'd be very grateful, Mr. Canfield.

  Steve Canfield : Well, in that case, honey, by all means stay.

  Dr. Ann Wotters : Honey?

• Steve Canfield : Great Georgia, ma'am, how come they put all that magnificent stuff into one woman?

• Steve Canfield : If he delivers, its clover for the rest of his days. If he doesn't, well, we're just a couple of washed up gypsies.

• Steve Canfield : How is our little speed burner?

• Steve Canfield : That buys you a dinner tonight, beautiful. Only, take off those pants and put on a dress that can throw a few curves at me.

  Hilda Spotts : I think you're pretty too.

• Steve Canfield : Perhaps I should have worn my rubbers?

• Steve Canfield : About Stems - I mean, Miss Spotts - I used to call her Stems because she had skinny legs - once.

• Hilda Spotts : I'm not going to marry any man who's in love with another woman - and that's final! At least for tonight. Tomorrow? Who knows.

  Steve Canfield : Who knows anything?

• Bartender Skelly : Bad day at the races, trouble with a lady friend - not rye, sir. Here, try this.

  Steve Canfield : What's in it?

  Bartender Skelly : One-third rum, one-third gin, some sweet vermouth, a shot of bourbon, a little cream, and a half a glass of beer!

• Bartender Skelly : You've been to the races - haven't you? With a lady?

  Steve Canfield : It shows on me, I guess.

  Bartender Skelly : Pretty unreliable - horses.

  Steve Canfield : Sometimes.

  Bartender Skelly : And women, too. Hard to get along with.

  Steve Canfield : Practically all the time.

• Steve Canfield : Stems, what causes a man to pass up a really great gal like you and fall in love with a shelf of books?

  Hilda Spotts : The book shelf is the one with the cool face and the warm figure. What's wrong with her?

  Steve Canfield : Oh, nothing. Nothing. But, what would a man like me be doing - married to an encyclopedia?

  Hilda Spotts : An encyclopedia with a shape like that?

• Steve Canfield : What's wrong with this, Stems? Ol' lady destiny comes along bearing gifts, we don't know enough to take 'em.

• Hilda Spotts : Say please, baby.

  Steve Canfield : Please.

  Hilda Spotts : Please, baby!

  Steve Canfield : Baby!

• Steve Canfield : [kiss]  I can do with a lot of those, peaches.

  Hilda Spotts : Hurry back, won't you, honeykins?

• Steve Canfield : Hello, Sugar. Do you come with the room?

  Dr. Ann Wotters : Well, that's what I wanted to talk to about.

  Steve Canfield : Now, look, sweetheart, you add up to what the doctor ordered. But, I'm just a city boy who's afraid of wild flowers. Catch on?

  Dr. Ann Wotters : What on earth are you talking about?

  Steve Canfield : Merely my way of saying it's time to - chase along baby.

  Dr. Ann Wotters : Didn't the manager tell you about me?

  Steve Canfield : No.

  [looks Ann over] 

  Steve Canfield : No, I guess he wanted to surprise me.

• Steve Canfield : All a man has to do is to concentrate on something with the right appeal - and that's you Stems.

  Hilda Spotts : You're not so hard to take, yourself.
