- Marie Hoke: Dull, foolish, vulgar to some but not to me. To me he was a man like a rock. Nothing could shake him. Nothing could shake his love. It was from him that I learned what love really was. Not a frail little fancy to be smashed and broken by pride and vanity and self pity. That's for children. That's for high school kids. But a rock as strong as life itself indestructible and eternal.
- Eddie Hoke: Hey, are you gonna sing someplace in L.A.?
- Binky Gay: Why, you dirty old man!
- Eddie Hoke: What do you mean, old?
- Binky Gay: I got a good mind to write your wife.
- Eddie Hoke: Go ahead. She can't read.
- Binky Gay: Anybody marries you, I don't believe she can even see.
- Binky Gay: Yeah, well, let's not clown about this one till we get there.
- Eddie Hoke: Oh we'll get there. Pilot's a personal friend of mine. This guy hates his wife so much, he's not gonna take that airplane two feet off the ground if he thinks there's any chance of her collecting his insurance.
- David Trask: It's the memory of someone else always between us, and I don't believe I'd ever be able to support it.
- David Trask: You're wearing out your nerves for nothing. Try to relax for a little while. Aren't you sleepy?
- Binky Gay: [nervously] Are you kidding?
- David Trask: Well I'm afraid I am. You don't mind if I take a nap, do you?
- Binky Gay: You go ahead. You sleep. I'll watch.
- [reclines seat, glancing over addressing the back of his head]
- Binky Gay: Mr. Trask, my name is Carr. My stage name is Binky Gay but my real name is Bianca Carr. As long as we're spending the night together we might as well know each others names.
- Eddie Hoke: Hey doc, ever meet a stripper?
- Dr. Robert Fortness: No. Never.
- Eddie Hoke: Well I go to burlesque now and then, you know, just to keep up on the technique but I never thought I'd meet one socially.
- Claire Fortness: Mr. Trask, tell me... Was he... was he drinking when he told you this?
- David Trask: Of course not. I don't take cases from drunks.
