  • Helen Davis: Peter, Paula's pretty pet pekingese puppy playfully pulled poor pussy's paw.
  • Helen Davis: It's always Spring with my little darlings. They only know one season and that's the mating season.
  • Helen Davis: You can't spell. You can't take dictation and you can't type. As a business woman you're a complete failure.
  • Helen Davis: You mean to tell me you're giving a second thought to what that little nitwit said? What have we got to worry about? We have this school, we're free. Independent!
  • Carol Baldwin: We certainly are. That's just the trouble.
  • Helen Davis: Now don't tell me you're getting Spring fever too?
  • Carol Baldwin: Oh, wait. Wait!
  • Helen Davis: Let nature take its course, deary.
  • Carol Baldwin: Oh, she can't even spell.
  • Helen Davis: She can spell what he wants in capital letters.
  • Carol Baldwin: He's fired another one of our girls. He's fired half his office force. He wants to know what's wrong with the modern woman.
  • Helen Davis: The modern man.
  • Helen Davis: You've got the school, a business of your own, and you want to give that up for a twenty-five dollar a week job?
  • Carol Baldwin: But, Helen, you don't understand. He's young. He's very good looking. He's healthy. He's intelligent. And he's not married!
  • Carol Baldwin: Oh, what a pity. What a pity. He looks so nice. And when he smiles. He smiled twice today. I tell you, it warms you right down to your toes.
  • [sighs]
  • Carol Baldwin: Where are you going?
  • Helen Davis: To get you a big dose of sulfur and molasses.
  • Helen Davis: It serves you right for ever letting on you're smarter than a man. They can't take it.
