- Lil - Waitress at Hamburger Stand: [to co-worker who was making advances on her] But you ain't got no boat.
- Bartender: [Mr. Gorell sits down at the bar, with a bad hangover] Good afternoon, Mr. Gorell.
- George Gorell: Please, speak softly... Just give me something to cure or kill. It really doesn't make any difference.
- Bartender: Hangover?
- George Gorell: [Grimacing, slowly removing his hat] Longer than the Burma Road.
- Tony Kenyon: Hello, Charlotte... you don't seem surprised.
- Charlette Gorell: I haven't been surprised since I married George.
- Lydia Kenyon: Thanks for everything.
- Jim Blake: Remember - there'll always be a boat burning in my window for you.
- Lydia Kenyon: You haven't heard a word I said.
- Tony Kenyon: Mmhmm.
- Lydia Kenyon: A hippopotamus walked in and sat right on my knee.
- Tony Kenyon: Mmhmm.
- Tony Kenyon: And, did she happen to suggest in so many words, that I quit my job?
- Jim Blake: You wouldn't do that, would you?
- Tony Kenyon: You think I'm crazy?
- Jim Blake: Might help, pal. Spit In your boss's eye. Take your woman by the hand. Climb to the top of a hill. Look us over, moon. She's a woman. She's like herself. She makes the grass grow, see? I've got hold of her hand and I'm not letting it go. She's a skylark.
- Tony Kenyon: Just how do you fit into this picture, anyway?
- Jim Blake: Oh, I'm a Mr. Nobody see, and you're Mr. Somebody. A woman starts out by picking her man. But if he can't play the part, the words are still there, aren't they, chum? Maybe Mr. Nobody can say 'em - and mean 'em.
- Lydia Kenyon: [after sitting down in Blake's law office] Couldn't you put me at ease? Say something about the weather.
- Jim Blake: It's raining.
- Jim Blake: She said she went up to the island - she had to think.
- Tony Kenyon: Oh... . Oh! The island. Well, that's interesting.
- Jim Blake: Where is it?
- Tony Kenyon: I don't know. Lots of islands - Staten Island, Governor's Island, Coney Island.
- George Gorell: A thousand island.
- Jim Blake: Keep quiet, you!
- George Gorell: I was only trying to be helpful.
