- Fritzi 'Muggins' Kiffmeyer: We women can do things to a man we love that men wouldn't do to a rattlesnake.
- Fritzi 'Muggins' Kiffmeyer: Oh, there he is, the sweetheart!
- Duke Bradley: Who, your husband?
- Fritzi 'Muggins' Kiffmeyer: No, that colt!
- Jesse Kiffmeyer: [to Maizie about her use of his cold cream] From now on, Madam, your face is in your own hands!
- Maizie: You'll never know what my face looked like before your preparation.
- Jesse Kiffmeyer: [Dryly] I can imagine.
- Jesse Kiffmeyer: Are you the caretaker here?
- Grandpa Clayton: [Taking offense] Caretaker, you infernal jackass! My grandfather built this dump!
- Grandpa Clayton: When I was a young man, Brookvale was the showcase of all Saratoga. When I first brought my bride home from Niagara Falls, it was all I could do to get her into the house, she was so crazy about the champions in the stables.
- Carol Clayton: [on the phone] Tell father I'll take the next boat home.
- Duke Bradley: Now your talkin', honey, even if you have to bring that foreign monkey with ya.
- Frank Clayton: Funny thing, after all the big heart specialists I've seen, nothing seems to regulate the old ticker as well as plain bicarbonate soda.
- Frank Clayton: By golly, Duke, I'm glad the kid's getting away from racetracks. You know, I've always wanted her to be something better than a dressed up gypsy.
- Fritzi 'Muggins' Kiffmeyer: Oh, no, no, no. Not the two of us together.
- Duke Bradley: Why not?
- Fritzi 'Muggins' Kiffmeyer: Oh, he's jealous. He thinks I'm Cleopatra and every man's in love with me.
- Duke Bradley: Well, who says he's wrong?
- Duke Bradley: [changing compartments on a night train] Rosetta?
- Rosetta: Yes, suh.
- Duke Bradley: Tell the porter to switch our bags.
- Rosetta: I shore will.
- Duke Bradley: And if theirs a crap game in there, tell the boys to get out.
- Rosetta: I will.
- Duke Bradley: And don't get in the game.
- Rosetta: Oh, you go on, Mr. Duke!
- Duke Bradley: I believe I could go for those things myself in a big way if I wasn't such a mug.
- Carol Clayton: You're not a mug. You've got brains, looks, personality.
- Duke Bradley: Will you quit your kiddin'.
- Carol Clayton: I'm not kidding.
- Duke Bradley: Well, gee, honey, it kinda gives me a lift to know you feel that way.
- Carol Clayton: You idiot, I did the one thing that would send him away.
- Duke Bradley: You did? What was that?
- Carol Clayton: I kissed him.
- Duke Bradley: And that sent him away? Oh, Carol, you underestimate yourself.
- Carol Clayton: You don't understand. Hartley happens to be a gentleman.
- Duke Bradley: Oh, then I'm glad I'm a mug. Kiss me like that and see if I go home?
- Carol Clayton: [hears a knock on the door] Who is it?
- Duke Bradley: It's Duke.
- Carol Clayton: Just a minute.
- Duke Bradley: What's the matter, honey?
- Carol Clayton: I'm not dressed!
- Duke Bradley: Well, put on something.
- Carol Clayton: I don't look good in something.
- Duke Bradley: Well, then, put on anything.
- Duke Bradley: Why, honey, you look sharp as a razor.
- Fritzi 'Muggins' Kiffmeyer: Oh, why not? I'm married.
- Duke Bradley: No? Who's the sucker?
- Rosetta: Oh, Mr. Clayton! Mr. Clayton, the telephone's calling long distance from London, England. It's Miss Carol.
- Grandpa Clayton: Oh, she don't want me. She wants her Daddy. Tell her he's at the doctor's.
- Rosetta: I - I can't talk so far, Mr. Clayton. I gets too scared.
- Rosetta: She's got her Daddy worried, she moves around all the time and don't leave no address.
- Duke Bradley: Yeah, I know. That brat needs a good spanking.
- Rosetta: Oh, she don't mean nuthin', Mr. Duke. That's just her way.
- Duke Bradley: Well, now I'm going to tell you what I think of you!
- Carol Clayton: I'm not interested in what you think of me.
- Duke Bradley: I'm not gonna have the frost put on me by a filly who romped out of Saratoga with clover on her heels and finished up with a bad case of swelled head.
- Carol Clayton: Where would you racetrack people be if it weren't for the word chump. For you, it wins any argument. Call someone a chump and it proves your his superior.
- Duke Bradley: This yearling won't bring you more than a few thousand dollars.
- Carol Clayton: I can run it up to what I owe you.
- Duke Bradley: Run it up? On your stocking?
- Carol Clayton: Will you tell Mr. Bradley I'd like to see him.
- Rosetta: I shore will. Yous got a pencil smudge on your chin, honey.
- Carol Clayton: Oh, what of it?
- Rosetta: Don't you want to look pretty for Mr. Bradley?
- Carol Clayton: Why should I?
- Rosetta: I'd fix up for him anytime. If he was only the right color, I'd marry 'im!
- Hartley Madison: Now, what can I do for you Duke?
- Duke Bradley: Well, it's about Carol.
- Hartley Madison: Carol? What's wrong?
- Duke Bradley: Carol needs you, Mr. Madison. She's not well.
- Duke Bradley: You know, Carol's not her old self at all.
- Hartley Madison: Has she seen a doctor?
- Duke Bradley: No. No, she hasn't and she's just a bottle of nerves.
- Carol Clayton: This is absolutely ridiculous, doctor. I told you there's nothing the matter with me.
- Dr. Harmsworth Bierd: You are a woman who's entire system is regulated by her emotions. You should be married now - and cooing contentedly in your own dear little nest.
- Dr. Harmsworth Bierd: Now I want you to take a soothing, lukewarm, effervescent bath. I'll send you a masseur who'll give you a light, gentle massage, and in this quiet, darkened room you can have a restful, peaceful nap.
- Duke Bradley: Rosetta, want a hot tip?
- Rosetta: Yes, suh, Mr. Duke! Gimme sometun' hot. I been cold for a week.
- Carol Clayton: [hears the door bell] Is that you, Rosetta.
- Duke Bradley: [disguises his voice] Yessum. It's me.
- Duke Bradley: Carol tried to get him to stay. Why, she went to town for me like a little champion.
- Tip: Oh, she did, huh? She double crossed you like the 6th Avenue L. And you thought you were shovin' her around. What a lady's man. What a lady's man.
- Jesse Kiffmeyer: Madam, do you know who I am?
- Maizie: I haven't the slightest idea.
- Jesse Kiffmeyer: Yes Well, I'm Harriet Hale.
- Maizie: Not the Beauty Queen?
- Jesse Kiffmeyer: Exactly.
- Duke Bradley: Roll over.
- Carol Clayton: No! I don't wanna.
- Duke Bradley: Come on, rollover!
- Carol Clayton: Oh, Duke.
- [rollsover]
- Singer: [singing] Dance! While you may, For tonight is the night, Tomorrow's the day, Your luck may change, Your luck may change. Romance! While you sway, It's the height of delight, You better be gay...
- Jesse Kiffmeyer: What's gonna happen if Dubonnet doesn't win?
- Duke Bradley: Well, you can give me a job in one of your beauty parlors.
