Quotes 

• Timothy Aloysius 'Tim' Dunnovan : [offering to help Jane carry a tray of food to a customer]  Let me take that. That's awful heavy for anybody as pretty as you.

  Jane Sweet, a dumb blonde : Why, it's not heavy. They cook everything very light here.

• Jane Sweet, a dumb blonde : [serving a tray of food at the drive-in]  This is the third full-course meal you've eaten. If you keep up this way, you'll lose your appetite for sure.

  Timothy Aloysius 'Tim' Dunnovan : I'll eat hundred dinners, Janie, if that will get you talking to me.

  Jane Sweet, a dumb blonde : I don't think they have hundred dinners in the kitchen but I'll ask.

• Timothy Aloysius 'Tim' Dunnovan : We'd better get out of the horse business or we will find ourselves out of the service.

• Benjamin Franklin 'Benny' Linn : [speaking with a Southern drawl]  Ma'am, sir, I can see in a glance that you all are a fair flower of the solid South. Didn't I all meet you last year at the Ken-tucky Derby?

  Millicent Temple : I've never been in Kentucky.

  Timothy Aloysius 'Tim' Dunnovan : That's funny, neither were we.

• Timothy Aloysius 'Tim' Dunnovan : What are we gonna be this time, Benny? Buffalo Bill or a couple of oilmen from Texas?

  Benjamin Franklin 'Benny' Linn : Haven't made up my mind yet.
