Quotes 

• J.D. Hanley : [on why Schatze stopped their wedding]  There was a last minute decision in your favor.

  Tom Brookman : Did you tell her about me?

  J.D. Hanley : No. So far as she knows you're still hustling a gas pump.

  Tom Brookman : Are you kidding?

  J.D. Hanley : Well let's go ask her.

  Tom Brookman : Wait a minute JD! Do you think I ought to tell her?

  J.D. Hanley : Are you nuts? She clearly prefers gas pump jockeys to millionaires. What do you want to do? Disillusion the poor girl?

• Schatze Page : Wait a minute I want to hear from Mr Filler-up. Just what would you estimate your fortune at?

  Tom Brookman : Oh, about $200,000,000 I should imagine.

  Schatze Page : Might that all be in cash?

  Tom Brookman : I suppose I could dig up a couple of million in cash if I had to.

  Schatze Page : And what might the rest be in?

  Tom Brookman : Some oil, some airline stock, a little steel, some cattle down in Texas, a couple of coal mines in Alabama, a bit of real estate here and there, some automobile stock, the Brookman building and of course Brookman Pennsylvania.

  Tom Brookman : [addressing the short order cook]  Give me the cheque Mac

  Tom Brookman : [as he peels off a $1000 bill from a roll of notes]  Keep the change Mac

  [Crashing of glass Schatze Page, Pola Debevoise and Loco Dempsey fall from their chairs at the counter in an unconscious state] 

  Tom Brookman : [as the three men raise their beer glasses]  Gentlemen, to our wives

• Mr. Antoine : Is she blonde or brunette?

  Tom Brookman : Depends entirely on the weather.

• Tom Brookman : Wouldn't you like me to put them in the kitchen?

  Schatze Page : You'd better not. The cook's not dressed.

• Tom Brookman : I didn't realize who you were until I picked up an old magazine this morning.

  Schatze Page : What do you mean?

  Tom Brookman : You were Miss Steinbach Beer last year.

  Schatze Page : Why, yes, I believe I was.

  Tom Brookman : Isn't that's you jumping around in a girdle in all those ads in a magazine?

  Schatze Page : I wouldn't exactly call it jumping around, I'm supposed to be dancing.

• Tom Brookman : The trouble with you is you're strictly a hamburger with onions dame and won't admit it.

• Tom Brookman : All she talks about is dough. Dough, dough. Nothing but dough.
