  • Bessie Green: [answering a call] I thought you were dead and buried. Well sure I missed you, like Booth missed Lincoln. What do you think I've been doing, sitting around the house embroidering doilies?
  • Bessie Green: Who's calling, please? Mr. McKey? K as in kitty?
  • [repeated line]
  • Bessie Green: [at rapid-fire delivery as she operates the switchboard] Simon and Tedesco... Who's calling, please... One moment please...
  • Henry Susskind: Say, kid, that's some run you've got in your stocking.
  • Bessie Green: Where? Oh, gee, now wouldn't that give you a pain and I just put 'em on clean this morning.
  • Henry Susskind: I'll buy you a new pair if you let me put 'em on for you.
  • Bessie Green: Hey, listen, one more crack like that out of you and you'll get a good slap in the face!
  • Henry Susskind: Get hot, get hot.
  • Bessie Green: [on the phone] Huh? Ah, just a fresh mug in the office here, putting things down my back. Yeah, I know, they never can keep their hands to themselves.
  • Arthur Sandler: Did you hear what I said, Greta Garbo?
  • Bessie Green: Yeah, I heard you, I heard you.
