- Tugboat Annie: We've been a great success together. Him given the orders and me doin' - just as I please.
- J.B. Armstrong: [on the phone] Sorry, I didn't know you were a woman.
- Tugboat Annie: Well, I've been a woman for a long time. But, I'm still the best tugboat man on the coast - and that's puttin' it mild.
- Tugboat Annie: [on the phone] I'll be glad to meet ya. From what my boss said, I thought you were sort of a stuffed poultry pigeon.
- J.B. Armstrong: I beg your pardon?
- Tugboat Annie: But, I can tell we're going to be good pals. So long, Joe.
- J.B. Armstrong: So long, Joe?
- Peggy Armstrong: May I have a check please?
- Miss Morgan: Check? Didn't you get your usual check on Monday?
- Peggy Armstrong: Well, yes. But, today's Thursday and I'm broke and I'm bored and I want to go to Frisco for a little excitement.
- Tugboat Annie: Well, Alec Severn don't think I'm the man I used to be.
- Eddie Kent: He's crazy.
- Tugboat Annie: Sure. But, he's the boss.
- Peggy Armstrong: Move it! Get it out of the way!
- Eddie Kent: Alright, I'll move it. Keep your shirt on. What are you doing? Slumming?
- Peggy Armstrong: No! I'm not slumming!
- Eddie Kent: [after accidentally running into Eddie's car and pushing it over the dock into the water] What's your name and address, baby?
- Peggy Armstrong: It's none of your business. And don't call me baby!
- Tugboat Annie: Bend the brat over your knee, Eddie!
- Eddie Kent: Thanks, Annie.
- [Gives Peggy a spanking]
- Tugboat Annie: Sir, do you know what that little wildcat did?
- J.B. Armstrong: She's not a wildcat! She's my daughter.
- Tugboat Annie: All we want to know is the name that goes with that silly lookin' face of yours.
- J.B. Armstrong: My name is Armstrong. Joseph B. Armstrong.
- Tugboat Annie: For the last two hours, waitin' for the sun to rise, I've been full of an empty feeling. There's somethin' rotten in the state of Dakota.
- Capt. Bullwinkle: Well, Annie, what can I do?
- Eddie Kent: Gorgeous, do you hear the faint sound of chiseling?
- Eddie Kent: Its marvelous the way you bob up out of trouble.
- Tugboat Annie: You know, it is a strange thing, how some people can only rise in the world by gettin' into one hole after the other.
- J.B. Armstrong: Under the circumstances, I can't trust this dangerous responsibility to a woman.
- Tugboat Annie: Wait a minute...
- J.B. Armstrong: In spite of your long experience, it has been my observation that you're very apt to lose control of your emotions and your temper in moments of excitement. I can't take any chances. I'm sorry.
- Tugboat Annie: That ain't fair! My company...
- Capt. Bullwinkle: Ah, you're company's all wrapped up in your petticoats!
- Tugboat Annie: Mr. Armstrong, the only reason that you won't give me the contract is because I happen to be the sweet grandmother type, is that it?
- J.B. Armstrong: Yes.
- Tugboat Annie: Well, there's more ways to skin a skunk, than to kiss him to death.
- Capt. Bullwinkle: Meaning me?
- Tugboat Annie: Ah, keep your big nozzle off of it!
- Rosie: Oh, Annie, why did you ever pick that old windbag?
- Tugboat Annie: Oh, he's an old pal of me husband's. They sowed their wild onions together. And besides, Mike Mahoney knows more about the tides and the currents between here and Alaska than any man on the coast, present company except.
- Peggy Armstrong: Hello, Sailor. Going somewhere?
- Eddie Kent: No, thanks!
- Peggy Armstrong: Ah, come on, climb in.
- Peggy Armstrong: Well, Officer, I've been trying to take him home, but, he won't go with me.
- Eddie Kent: Now, listen, Officer...
- Policeman: Wait a minute. What's the matter with you? It ain't every man has a cute little wife like her to take care of him when he's been drinkin'.
- Eddie Kent: I'm not drunk!
- Peggy Armstrong: Oh, he's just stubborn, Officer.
- Policeman: Sure, I know. Now, why don't you be reasonable and go on home with her. Get in the car like a good little boy. It'll save you a lot of troubles.
- Eddie Kent: That's what you think!
- Peggy Armstrong: Thank you very much, Officer.
- Policeman: Don't mention it. How long have you two been married?
- Eddie Kent: We aren't married! She's kidnappin' me!
- Peggy Armstrong: You know, I'm really surprised to find you're human at times.
- Eddie Kent: How would you know?
- Peggy Armstrong: What do you think I picked you up for? Love at third sight?
- Pete: I hope he shows up sober.
- Tugboat Annie: Oh, Mahoney don't drink no more. No, he took the cure last year. I know! I myself took him to the hospital and poured him into bed.
- Tugboat Annie: So that's what's in back of your mind. So, you're planin' to have Eddie all by yourself, for a month or more. Lolly-gaggin' in the moonlight. Well, listen to me you brazen manhunter, I'm puttin' you ashore, right now.
- Tugboat Annie: Don't you say no to me! I'm the skipper here. And I'm gonna learn you discipline, my fancy little peacock. And before we get back from Skagway, you'll appreciate your father's money and bein' a pillar of society. And you'll understand about workin' people more than you do now; because, you're gonna be one them. You'll be earnin' your bread and board by the sweat of your brow.
- Tugboat Annie: What in the name of Brazil do you call that?
- Peggy Armstrong: Why, that's coffee. And you won't get any better till I learn how!
- Tugboat Annie: Coffee, is it?
- Peggy Armstrong: Yes, it's coffee.
- Tugboat Annie: I like it.
- Capt. Bullwinkle: [singing] Thou, will come no more, Gentle Annie; Like a flower, thy spirit did depart...
