- Florence: [talking about a case] Can I handle this my way?
- Jim: You cannot, I'm still editor of this newspaper.
- Florence: Fine, you said I was fired... well, I quit, you give the assignment to somebody else.
- Jim: Wait a minute, come here.
- Florence: [crying] No, I'm through.
- Jim: Come here, sob sister, all right, go ahead, do it your own way.
- Jim: You're fired unless you bring a story for the next edition! Even if it's only a new recipe for spaghetti!
- Jim: You're a sure bet to place in the bread line. There's no room on this rag for the purely ornamental. You're easy on the eyes and pretty conceited about it.
- Florence: Is mama's dumpling getting tough?
- Jim: I'm through clowning, Florence. You're all washed up. Get out.
- Florence: What do you mean, you poor ham? It's New Years!
- Florence: I've got a story, but I'm not gonna tell you what it is. Every time I tell you anything, it goes haywire.
- Jim: What do you mean, haywire? You start out after murderers and bring back three-for-a-dime bootleggers. You start out to solve murder mysteries and break up crap games. You're stupendous. I'm for you. You're wonderful.
- Florence: Oh! You're always razzing everything I do, but this is one time I'm in.
