Harriet 'Hank' Mahoney
- Eddie Kearns: Hank, did you see Queenie? What's the matter Hank, aren't ya happy? Wasn't Queenie great? Aren't ya proud of her?
- Hank Mahoney: Oh, of course, Eddie. I'm glad to see her make good. Oh, but, gee, we ain't never had to get by on our legs before.
- Eddie Kearns: Oh, that don't mean nothin', Hank. Those guys are not going to pay ten bucks to look at your face; this is Broadway!
- Hank Mahoney: Yeah, "Broad's way!"
- Uncle Jed: [Last lines] It's better to star in P-P-Pe-or, P-P-Pe - or, Osh Kosh than st-starve on Broadway.
- Moe: That's a bunk!
- Hank Mahoney: Now, you listen to me, Stupid, I'll handle things. Yes, and I'll have you back on Broadway and in The Palace! In less than six months.
- Moe: No foolin'?
- Hank Mahoney: Why, it's cream in the can, baby.
- Uncle Jed: Su-Su-Sure it is. Cre-Cre-Cre. It's, it's in the can!
- Hank Mahoney: Oh, honey, with your looks and my ability, Oh, I wouldn't steer you wrong. Oh, now, don't worry. You see that electric sign with the fella in BVDs?
- Queenie Mahoney: Yeah.
- Hank Mahoney: Well, right there, they're going to have the Mahoney Sisters.
- Queenie Mahoney: In BVDs?
- Hank Mahoney: Yes, in BVD - Baby, they were plenty smart when they made you beautiful.
- Queenie Mahoney: Oh, dear, I'm just shaky all over!
- Hank Mahoney: Oh, Queenie, will you stop. You're gettin' me nervous now. It ain't gonna be a bit different than it was in Reading, PA and we're going over just as big!
- Queenie Mahoney: Oh... do you think so?
- Hank Mahoney: Why, it's cream in the can, baby.
- Hank Mahoney: [after a cat-fight with a chorus girl] Next time I'll give you a facial instead of a scalp treatment!
- Chorus Girl: I'll fix you, ya little peanut!
- Hank Mahoney: Oh, goodbye Uncle Jed.
- Uncle Jed: If you wanna see me, just call me up.
- Hank Mahoney: Yeah, fine. You're in the phone book?
- Uncle Jed: You-you bet!
- Hank Mahoney: Oh, nothing doing. We're in New York to stay!
- Uncle Jed: S-s-say, say listen, girls, you I-I know this town better than you do. And-and there are more sisters doing their acts over the lunch counters in New York, th-th-then over the - than in the theaters.
- Hank Mahoney: Oh, you're just a crepe hanger!
- Eddie Kearns: Queenie! All grown up and everything!
- Hank Mahoney: You see, that sisterly kiss won't be so hard to take now, will it?
- Eddie Kearns: I'll say it won't!
- [Eddie kisses Queenie]
- Hank Mahoney: Take it big.
- Eddie Kearns: I did!
- Eddie Kearns: "Mrs. Eddie Kearns" - sounds pretty doesn't it?
- Hank Mahoney: Swell, Eddie!
- Eddie Kearns: Yeah, and you can feature that anytime, in the electric lights.
- Hank Mahoney: Say, you've been asking for trouble and now you're gonna get it! You great, big, peroxide-headed, dizzy blonde, you! What are you thinking of that!
- Queenie Mahoney: Say Hank, do you think that's all I'll get to do? Go on without any clothes on?
- Hank Mahoney: Well, not if I can help it. But, you don't need to worry. Say you got a lot more on when you ain't got anything - from most of the dames I've seen around here!
- Queenie Mahoney: Yeah! Well, I guess I'll go get undressed again.
- Eddie Kearns: Well, let's go and get a bowl of chop suey and we'll rewrite the show!
- Hank Mahoney: Well, if you'll write me back in the show, I'd go for a bowl of anything.
- Eddie Kearns: Well, you can - get most anything out of a bowl of chop suey.
- Hank Mahoney: I'm going to give her the swellest party she's ever had! Oh, Eddie, I love her so much!
- Eddie Kearns: You sure are regular, Hank.
- Hank Mahoney: Say, what kind of a sap are you, anyway?
- Eddie Kearns: What do you mean?
- Hank Mahoney: Are you gonna let a John like that steal her away from you because he's got a little more Jack?
