- Harry Ruby: Feel sorry for me? You must think I'm just a...
- Bert Kalmar: I could tell you what I think of you in just three little words. You're a dope!
- Bert Kalmar: Hey, wait a minute. You're not walking out on me, are you?
- Jessie Brown: Not yet.
- Bert Kalmar: What'd you open the door for?
- Jessie Brown: Because I'm a nice girl, Mr. Kalmar. And a nice girl always leaves the door open.
- Bert Kalmar: There hasn't been a good Japanese song for quite awhile. I got something here I thought might work out. I call it, "So long, Oo-long."
- Bert Kalmar: [singing] Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong. But nevertheless I'm in love with you...
- Bert Kalmar: Look, it's okay to admire my wife; but, would you mind taking your elbow out of my butter.
- Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby: [singing] I wanna be in Tennessee in my Dixie paradise, An angel's voice I hear, I mean my mammy, dear...
- Harry Ruby: [singing] Hooray for Captain Spaulding, The African Explorer!
- Bert Kalmar: Did someone call me Schnorrer?
- Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby: Hooray, hooray, hooray!
- Bert Kalmar: I've got a great idea. An opening for the new act. I come out in one, see, I'm a magician.
- Jessie Brown: Oh, a magician.
- Bert Kalmar: Yeah! I'm in full dressed suit, medals on my chest, maybe a mustache and a little goatee.
- Jessie Brown: [sarcastically] Yes, I adore little goatees.
- Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby: [singing] Lawdy, hear my plea, Make me what I wanna be, A rolling stone just rolling home to my sunny Tennessee.
- Terry Lordel: Snooky rehearsed me in it.
- Bert Kalmar: Snooky?
- Terry Lordel: Snooky! This is Snooky.
- Bert Kalmar: Hi ya, Snooky!
- Harry Ruby: Aw, she calls me Snooky.
- Terry Lordel: Isn't he sweet. Aw, I could eat him up! Rrrrrr!
- Terry Lordel: Light me, please?
- Bert Kalmar: I beg your pardon?
- Terry Lordel: Light me.
- Bert Kalmar: Oh, yes, of course. Sure.
- [lights Terry's cigarette]
- Jessie Brown Kalmar: I still think Harry's in love.
- Bert Kalmar: Don't be silly. Just because a fella writes a romantic tune that doesn't mean he has to be Beethoven.
