Mal Thorne
- Hattie Hartley: Will you get off the stage? Don't you see we're ringin' up.
- Mal Thorne: Gee, Hat, you look swell!
- Hattie Hartley: Not now, Mal! This is a death scene, not a love scene.
- Hattie Hartley: Is there any money in the house?
- Mal Thorne: Yeah, about enough for a cup of coffee.
- Hattie Hartley: Aw, tough.
- Connie Bard: Say, that hound's getting so touchy, you can't go near her.
- Mal Thorne: I guess you'd be touchy too if you were gonna be having pups.
- Connie Bard: Well, I guess I would at that.
- Oriole: Here I am!
- Hattie Hartley: Good notion to give you a lickin'! How many times must I tell you not to feed that dog while the show's going on?
- Mal Thorne: Oh, lay off. She's all right.
- Oriole: She won't hit me.
- Hattie Hartley: Oh, I would if I didn't love you so much.
- Mal Thorne: Oh, Ed, could you let me have a little advance?
- Ed Bondell: What for?
- Hattie Hartley: Oriole's gotta have some more cod liver oil.
- Ed Bondell: What does she do, bathe in it?
- Hattie Hartley: Oh, hello, Mal. Is the kid all right?
- Mal Thorne: Yeah, a lot you care - running off in a pleasure buggy with a stranger.
- Hattie Hartley: Well, just lay her down in the bunk. I'll be in and undress her.
- Hattie Hartley: Oh, now, Mal, don't make me do something I don't want to do.
- Mal Thorne: All right, honey, I won't. Gee, all I want to do is just to make you happy. You know that, don't you?
- Hattie Hartley: Yes, dear.
- [long kiss]
- Mal Thorne: Can you imagine what that'd be like? Married to a guy like that? Sittin' up nights, readin' the Sears Roebuck catalog?
- Mal Thorne: Now, Oriole.
- Oriole: Huh?
- Mal Thorne: In that deathbed scene.
- Oriole: Yeah?
- Mal Thorne: Don't forget what I told you, now, about being on your elbow. Smile sad. Sad!
- Mal Thorne: You can't fire me.
- Ed Bondell: Who says I can't? Your Legree ain't so good we can't get along without ya.
- Mal Thorne: Well, maybe not. Yeah, but just the same, you owe me money, and I'm gonna keep right on workin' till you pay me.
