Gretchen
- Bob Weston: Gretchen, let me ask you something. If you were as pure as the driven snow...
- Gretchen: Honey, I can't remember that far back.
- Gretchen: Wait till you hear this!
- [singing]
- Gretchen: Mention sex, And the single girl is cool and shy, She objects, To discussing sex with any guy, You can bet, She's as interested as he, If sex was 50/50, Where would everybody be? Mention sex, And the single girl will blush a lot, Though she wrecks, Every single guy with what she's got, Then a guy she can't ignore, Tells her what she's waited for, And suddenly she's not single any more.
- Gretchen: I'm sorry Bob, but, when fame knocks you should answer.
- Bob Weston: Eh, that's opportunity.
- Gretchen: Well, whatever it is, I'm answering.
- Bob Weston: Gretchen, you read this book, "Sex and the Single Girl," right? Tell me, what do you think of this Helen Gurley Brown. Is she really on the level?
- Gretchen: I don't know, honey. I don't think I've ever lived like a single girl.
- Gretchen: Anniversaries like these always leave me with a strange kind of longing.
- Bob Weston: For marriage.
- Gretchen: Oh, no, honey! I wouldn't give up my career for marriage, kids or happiness.
- Bob Weston: Good girl, good girl!
- Gretchen: This is my big chance! It might mean stardom and lots of money. Look, honey, Irving has been trying to get this interview for months. He's been following the Producer around - why, he's even taken steam baths for me!
- Bob Weston: Why is he taking steam baths for you?
- Gretchen: Because the Producer takes them.
- Rudy: [Helen lightly slaps Bob] Hot dog, what a sexy slap! What are you trying to do discourage him or satisfy yourself?
- Helen Gurley Brown: I won't be dominated by any man!
- Gretchen: [to Rudy] I'd gladly be dominated by *any* man!
- Bob Weston: [to Helen] Is that what you think I'm trying to do? Dominate you? Well, I never dug a chick like you anyway! Thanks for turning me down!
