- Betty Schaefer: Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis, but I just didn't think it was any good. I found it flat and trite.
- Joe Gillis: Exactly what kind of material do you recommend? James Joyce? Dostoyevsky?
- Betty Schaefer: I just think that pictures should say a little something.
- Joe Gillis: Oh, one of the message kids. Just a story won't do. You'd have turned down Gone With the Wind.
- Sheldrake: No, that was me. I said, "Who wants to see a Civil War picture?"
- Betty Schaefer: So, you take plot 27A, make it glossy, make it slick?
- Sheldrake: Eh-eh-eh-eh. Those are dirty words. You sound like a bunch of New York critics.
- Sheldrake: That'll be all Miss Kramer... Schaefer.
- Betty Schaefer: Goodbye, Mr. Gillis.
- Joe Gillis: Next time I'll write you "The Naked and the Dead".
- Sheldrake: Of course, we're always looking for a Betty Hutton. Do you see it as a Betty Hutton?
- Joe Gillis: Frankly, no.
- Sheldrake: No, wait a minute. If we made it a girls softball team. Put in a few numbers. Might make a cute musical: "It Happened in the Bullpen - A Story of a Woman".
