Charlie Castle
- Charlie Castle: Am I the worst oaf in the world?
- Marion Castle: The world's a big place. You're the worst one in my life.
- Smiley Coy: What do you think of women, kiddie?
- Charlie Castle: Oh, there's room in the world for 'em.
- [Wanting Charlie to woo Dixie, who's talking too much about Charlie's dangerous 'secret']
- Smiley Coy: Call her.
- Charlie Castle: All right. Anything for my art.
- Charlie Castle: Patty, darling,
- [Kisses her on the cheek as he walks by.]
- Charlie Castle: how are you, sweetie?
- Patty Benedict: Light my cigarette, Chuck.
- Charlie Castle: Sure.
- [Grabs lighter off table.]
- Patty Benedict: What happened to you last night? I looked around, and you'd gone. I asked Mike, but ...
- Charlie Castle: Oh, Smiley Coy had somebody he wanted me to meet. I dunno, some of those stripped shirts from out of town.
- [Walks to bar.]
- Charlie Castle: Who wants what from the lemonade stand? Bud...
- Buddy Bliss: No. No, thanks.
- Patty Benedict: I like the airiness of this room.
- [Walks a bit and notices a painting on the wall.]
- Patty Benedict: Oh, French paintings, dear one?
- Charlie Castle: Yeah.
- Patty Benedict: Don't you buy American any more?
- Charlie Castle: Oh, let nothing dismay you, Sweetie. I don't know one painter from another.
- Buddy Bliss: He doesn't know one painter from another.
- Charlie Castle: I wouldn't want my fans to think I'd gone arty. They're... uh, Marion's hobby.
- Buddy Bliss: Yeah, they're his wife's hobby.
- Patty Benedict: How long do I know you, Chuck?
- Charlie Castle: Oh, about nine or ten years.
- Patty Benedict: When we first met, all you could talk about was the New Deal, or the Fair Deal, or some deal.
- Charlie Castle: I believed in it.
- Patty Benedict: What do you believe in now?
- Charlie Castle: Health, hard work, rare roast beef, and good scripts.
