- [Sitting at a nightclub table, Steve Morgan notices gangster Willie Ryan's elderly, sour-faced bodyguard]
- Steve: I didn't meet you, did I?
- Willie Ryan: That's my "adopted son."
- Steve: Rather big for his age, isn't he?
- Willie Ryan: [ominously] Yeah, he follows me around, keeps the flies off me. He's got a good aim with a..."flyswatter."
- Belle: I'm gonna think some swell things about you, Willie Ryan. And I hope you'll think some swell things about me.
- Self - Ring Announcer for the Big Fight: What? Oh, Kate Smith - right down there at ringside, and she's sitting in seats 1, 2, and 3.
