- Gail Allen: Well... there aren't that many white women there, are there?
- Bill 'Willie' Burnett: Not many.
- Gail Allen: But a lot of Balinese girls...
- Bill 'Willie' Burnett: Oh, a lot of them.
- Gail Allen: A man like you, any man I mean, do you... er... I mean, do you marry those girls?
- Bill 'Willie' Burnett: [Shakes his head] No.
- Gail Allen: Oh. I... I... I suppose some of the men... I mean I suppose, er, I mean...
- Bill 'Willie' Burnett: Well, you said you've seen the pictures.
- Gail Allen: Do *you* have a girl out there?
- Bill 'Willie' Burnett: Five.
- Gail Allen: Five?
- Bill 'Willie' Burnett: Five. One does the cooking, one keeps the house clean, one takes care of my clothes and one dances for me.
- Gail Allen: But that's only four.
- Bill 'Willie' Burnett: [Raises eyebrows and nods knowingly]
- Miss Lorna 'Smitty' Smith: A future's like a bank account. You've got to start it when you're young.

- Bill 'Willie' Burnett: Well, isn't it?
- Miss Lorna 'Smitty' Smith: He sounds interesting.
- Gail Allen: Not particularly. He's lazy, he's not very good looking, he makes $50 a week, and he ruins my disposition. I'm as cross as a bear when I'm around him.
- Miss Lorna 'Smitty' Smith: Then, why are you around him?
- Gail Allen: Well, I said I didn't know, didn't I?
