- Myrtle: I'll be seein' ya around. Don't do anything while I'm gone that you couldn't do on a bicycle.
- Angel Harrigan: Gee Jennie, I'm crazy aboutcha. Why I'd... I'd even marry ya.
- Jennie Delano: That's thoughtful of you.
- Mitch McKane: What's the hurry? Surprised to see me?
- Harry Delano: Why Mitch, you old son of a gun. How are ya? It makes it seem like old times to see you around here. Glad to see ya.
- Mitch McKane: Yeah, I'll bet you are.
- Harry Delano: Uh, Buck said you wanna see me about something?
- Mitch McKane: Yeah.
- Harry Delano: Well it it's about Buck's joint, I just fixed up the old lady.
- Mitch McKane: I ain't worried about the joint, you dirty double-crossing little rat.
- Harry Delano: Why, what's the matter?
- Mitch McKane: You know what's the matter. Fred's been peddling my hooch and you're in with them. And you brought in with money that you got from me!
- Harry Delano: Oh, it's a lie. I ain't had nothing to do with Freddy.
- Mitch McKane: No? Well, I got it straight, and I'm putting the finger on you now.
- Harry Delano: No, Mitch. I'm honest, I didn't.
- Mitch McKane: Something's gonna happen to you.
- Harry Delano: No, no, Mitch.
- Mitch McKane: Nobody's gonna peddle hooch around this part but me.
- Harry Delano: No, but I'm warning you. I got a gun too.
- Mitch McKane: Yeah, but you dirty little...
- Harry Delano: Please don't, I'm asking you. Please don't, I'm telling you now. I'm asking you...
- Angel Harrigan: [Barking] Palace of Joy: where you can, drink and be merry all for a dime! Just one thin dime, folks! And you get to see these gorgeous, beautiful women. Give 'em a quick flash girls. Give 'em a quick flash. How do you like that? Now, come closer, come closer.
- Mitch McKane: I suppose you've got the trembles for that Jennie dame?
- Angel Harrigan: I've heard rumors to that effect.
- Harry Delano: I was out with nobody, I tell ya!
- Mrs. Delano: Then, where was you?
- Harry Delano: I-I went to a Turkish bath.
- Mrs. Delano: Where was you tomcattin' last night? Come on, think fast, think fast!
- Harry Delano: I wasn't tomcattin' no place.
- Mrs. Delano: Was you out with that floozy?
- Harry Delano: I don't know what you're talkin' about.
- Mrs. Delano: There's a couple of busted machines - back in the joint there. Joe'll show 'em to ya. See what you can do with 'em.
- Angel Harrigan: Just give me a hairpin.
- Mrs. Delano: Hairpin?
- Angel Harrigan: Sure. I'm like a dame that way. I can do anything with a hairpin.
- Jennie Delano: Gee, but he's a swell guy.
- Mitch McKane: What's the rap this time?
- Detective Sikes: A handful of clouds.
- [Gestures like he is using a handgun]
- Detective Sikes: Puff! Puff! Puff!
- Mitch McKane: You don't mean me! I got an alibi.
- Detective Sikes: Ya, that's what the Chief wants to talk about.
- Jennie Delano: [Angel makes a pass] Hey, slow down!
- Angel Harrigan: Gee, but you're skittish tonight.
- Jennie Delano: Better be or you get hurt.
- Jennie Delano: Hey, we better be gettin' back. Ma will be down here with a lantern and a tomahawk.
- Angel Harrigan: Okay, Pocahontas!
- Myrtle: He's a no good egg anyway.
- Happy: You're right, baby.
- Myrtle: Well, so long, honey, I'm leavin'.
- Happy: I thought we might go down and get... a bowl of chop suey.
- Myrtle: Can't make it tonight, honey.
- Happy: No? Why all the glad rags?
- Myrtle: I've got a sick girl friend, promised I'd drop over.
- Happy: Oh, all that for a sick girl friend? Don't give me that bull. You're goin' to the jazz joint with that Harry Delano.
- Myrtle: Happy!
- Happy: I'm wise. I was tipped off you were with him the night before last when you said you had a headache.
- Myrtle: Now, sugar, you don't think I'd fall for Harry Delano?
- Happy: No! You'd fall for anybody that'd spend jack on ya.
- Myrtle: Well, he ain't got no jack. He ain't even workin'.
- Happy: He ain't workin'; but, he's peddlin' booze.
- Jennie Delano: You know, I almost like you.
- Angel Harrigan: Well, now that's a great help. Say, I ain't a bad guy. You know how it is. You can get used to anything.
- [Tries to make a pass]
- Jennie Delano: Keep your temperature down! I got no intention of gettin' used to ya.
- Myrtle: How was Mitch's party last night?
- George: Great! Say, was that some party. A real high class affair. I never saw so many drunken dames in all of my life.
- Myrtle: Did you do yourself any good?
- George: Not me, baby. When a dame falls for me, I want to know what she's falling about.
- Myrtle: Not a bad idea.
- Myrtle: You're a swell prune, you are! Stood me up last night, didn't ya? I parked outside that dump last night until I thought my feet had grown to the sidewalk.
- Harry Delano: You wouldn't want to see me take a rap, would ya? I'll make it right with you, Myrtle, I'll give you anything you want! Anything up to a grand.
- Myrtle: You've never seen that much money.
- Harry Delano: Well, why not? I'm makin' plenty of dough in the booze racket, ain't i?
- Angel Harrigan: Okay. Anything you say, honey girl.
- Jennie Delano: Come on, Angel, come along.
- Angel Harrigan: All right, baby.
- Mrs. Delano: That mug in there had it comin' to him!
- Myrtle: Oh, you cold hearted old buzzard, let me tell you something.
- Detective Sikes: This place is closed until this thing is settled!
- George: What am I gonna do with all my weenies?
- Detective Sikes: Eat 'em yourself!
- Mrs. Delano: Better lie down, Harry, you look all in.
- Harry Delano: I don't wanna lie down!
- Mrs. Delano: And you oughtin' a smoke so many of them cigarettes, either.
- Harry Delano: Ah, go chase yourself!
- Mrs. Delano: Harry, I want to talk to you. You was out neckin' with that Mrytle again last night, wasn't ya?
- Harry Delano: So, what of it?
- Mrs. Delano: I don't want you runnin' around with that gutter floozy!
- Jennie Delano: [to Harry] What do you say, baby?
- Mrs. Delano: Don't you call him baby! Don't you dare! I'm the only one that can call him that!
- Angel Harrigan: Just exactly what are you lookin' for?
- Detective Sikes: Nothing!
- Angel Harrigan: I hope you find it.
- Angel Harrigan: Ah, cheer up, kid. What'd she say?
- Jennie Delano: She told me to go away and take you with me.
- Angel Harrigan: That means you won't get a cent of her jack! And if she's worth what Joe thinks she is, you're passing up about thirty grand.
- Detective Sikes: Were you on the sand with Harry?
- Happy: Think of your reputation!
- Myrtle: You think of it. You do more worryin' about it than I do.
- Mrs. Delano: Here, Angel. Come on, get busy. The customers is comin'. Remember what I've always said, "Never give a sucker an even break!"
- Angel Harrigan: You said it, mother!
