Emma
- Emma: [to Connie at the restaurant] I wanted to get away from dirty dishes and glasses, but here I am.
- Connie: Why haven't you divorced him?
- Emma: I don't know. You know there's more loneliness than anything else in the world. You could be lonely in an awful lot of places - movies, dance halls, in your own room. People are funny.
- [she looks at her wedding ring]
- Emma: One little piece of cheap gold can almost make you believe things are different than they really are. What do you want, Connie? Does Midge want a divorce? He can have it!
- [she cries and leaves]
- Emma: It's funny.
- Midge: What?
- Emma: You know, I didn't like you at first. Well, you know, you never smile. I mean really smile. Not just on the outside.
- Midge: Got to be happy to smile that way.
- Emma: Aren't you happy?
- Midge: Well, right now I am.
- Emma: Then why don't you smile?
- Emma: [he laughs] Midge, why aren't you happy?
- Midge: Happy? It's hard to be happy when you're poor. I've been poor all my life. Real poor. You know what it is to be real poor? Cold poor? Hungry poor?
