- Ted Baker: Hello.
- Nora Paige: Hello, yourself. What's the thing about?
- Ted Baker: Well, boy meets girl.
- Nora Paige: Oh, I see. Well, boy loses girl.
- Ted Baker: Boy gets girl.
- Nora Paige: Not so soon, sailor.
- Ted Baker: Oh, now, wait a minute. Hey, look. Listen. Listen. You're not very patriotic.
- Nora Paige: But I am. I'm just not uniform-crazy.
- Ted Baker: Not even interested?
- Nora Paige: Oh, I love watching a parade.
- Nora Paige: Were you a dancer?
- Jenny Saks: Yeah, a marathon dancer. That's where I met my husband.
- Nora Paige: Oh, are you married?
- Jenny Saks: Yes. We were partners in a marathon dance. About the 28th day, business dropped off, so, the management offered a cash prize to the couple that'd get married during the contest. Well, gee, dancing with the same guy for 672 hours, naturally, I thought I was in love. But, I was just tired!
- Nora Paige: Is that your daughter?
- Jenny Saks: Yes, first prize at the Marathon Dance.
- Nora Paige: I guess your daddy is proud of you.
- Sally Saks: I've never seen my daddy.
- Nora Paige: Why haven't you told him?
- Sally Saks: Because someday we're gonna surprise him.
- Nora Paige: Gee, you're swell! You know, I didn't like you at first.
- Jenny Saks: Oh, well, I'm like olives - you gotta learn to like me.
- Jenny Saks: You been in New York long?
- Nora Paige: About a week.
- Jenny Saks: Working?
- Nora Paige: No. I'm finding it difficult to get work. My kind of work.
- Jenny Saks: Well, just what kind of work is your work?
- Nora Paige: I'm a dancer.
- Jenny Saks: You don't use a fan?
- Nora Paige: No.
- "Peppy" Turner: [singing] Pretty baby, Pretty baby, And what might your plans for today be? If you're lonesome, On your ownsome, Well, I haven't a darn thing to do.
- Jenny Saks: People tell me, it's the season, When the boy's like huggin' and squeezin'.
- Nora Paige: And for some dumb, goofy reason, Baby, I'm nuts about you!
- Nora Paige: I can't understand Ted doing this.
- Jenny Saks: Ah, honey, they're all alike. If you get a good one, it's a long shot. If you don't, it's a consensus of opinion.
- Nora Paige: I feel uncomfortable about going aboard, Jenny. I hope I don't meet Ted.
- Jenny Saks: Listen, baby, when a horse throws you, you gotta get right back up and ride him.
- Nora Paige: I won't even look at him.
- Jenny Saks: That's wrong! Act like nothing happened. If you want a lesson in self control, just watch me with Gunny.
- Lucy James: Just what do you think you're doing? Making a fool out of me?
- Nora Paige: But, Miss James, I didn't mean...
- Lucy James: I don't care what you meant. When I want five and ten cent store dames doing my number, I'll let you know about it!
