- Mrs. Rowland: Now, isn't gasoline rationing wonderful? Not a car on the street. Now maybe they'll give me back my driver's license.
- Pedro Sullivan: And where are those beautiful balloons?
- June Delaney: Why, there's a rubber shortage, haven't you heard?
- Charles Barrett: Mind you, I don't want to commit myself to a prediction, but I think I can safely say that, heh, heh, things look bad.
- Ambrose Murdock Flint: You don't look to me like the sort of woman that would have arms around her. I mean, of the dangerous kind.
- June Delaney: Is there any other kind?
- Helen Martin: How could you do such a thing to your oldest friend?
- June Delaney: Oh, you mustn't be self-conscious about your age. You're not old - just been through a lot. After all, two trips to Reno.
- Helen Martin: Use your head. If June's in the kitchen, she's out of circulation.
- Charles Barrett: That's right. He wouldn't make advances in the kitchen.
- Pedro Sullivan: The harvest moon.
- June Delaney: In March?
- Pedro Sullivan, June Delaney: Spring here, it's autumn in South America.
- June Delaney: Will you be home for dinner?
- Pedro Sullivan: No. The way things look now, I'll never eat again.
- Helen Martin: June, why don't you marry Charles?
- June Delaney: Oh, trying to get rid of competition, dear?
- June Delaney: But that's silly. I've got to have money. I can't ask the servants to work for nothing - this is a democracy. How am I going to live?
- Charles Barrett: Well, you could marry me.
- June Delaney: Oh Charles - things can't be that bad...
- June Delaney: Good morning, sir, it's time to get up.
- Pedro Sullivan: Where - on the West Coast? I asked you to call me promptly at 8, Tuesday.
- Helen Martin: She's wiped out? Every cent? The poor darling.
- Charles Barrett: I just don't know how to tell her.
- Helen Martin: It isn't your duty, Charles - it's mine.
- Charles Barrett: Yes, perhaps a woman could do it better.
- Helen Martin: Of course. That's what women live for - moments like this.
- Pedro Sullivan: Now, don't tell me they've cut down those beautiful palm trees?
- June Delaney: Termites.
- Burgess: Mr. Flint, I want to thank you for your company's cooperation to the Priorities Board and the ration of tires.
- Ambrose Murdock Flint: That's all right - I was just doing my duty. That's all, just my duty.
- Burgess: I hate to mention it, but there's a slight error in these figures. Four of the tires are unaccounted for.
- Ambrose Murdock Flint: Oh, those, heh, heh, yes, well you see, my own tires were getting kinda thin and I thought that a...
- Burgess: Do you have a priority certificate?
- Ambrose Murdock Flint: Well, no. No, I haven't. But as I say, my tires were getting kinda...
- Burgess: I'm sorry, Mr. Flint. But unless you can prove they're an absolute necessity...
- Ambrose Murdock Flint: Necessity? I tell you they're getting thin. I'm running almost on the rims now.
- Burgess: Well, I mean if you were delivering milk, or collecting garbage...
- Ambrose Murdock Flint: In my limousine, on three gallons a week? Darn blast it man, can't a man have a set of his own tires?
- Burgess: Not unless you file an appeal.
- Ambrose Murdock Flint: You are darn tootin I'll file an appeal, thick-headed numbskull. Who do I apply to?
- Burgess: Me. Good day, Mr. Flint.
- Pedro Sullivan: Senor, I only have about $5 in my pocket, and I can't get very romantic on that.
- Simon Cordoba: How do expect to get $2 million from Flint when you can't even get a nickel from me?
