Regi Allen
- [Ted suggests temporarily becoming Regi's platonic roommate]
- Regi Allen: Well, I'm not *that* unconventional.
- Theodore Drew III: Aw, don't be old-fashioned. What are conventions anyway? Just a bunch of salesmen sitting around and telling stories.
- Theodore Drew III: Oh, father's living abroad. He has an amazing ability for borrowing money from practically total strangers. Unfortunately, that ability isn't hereditary.
- Regi Allen: How could the Drews be broke?
- Theodore Drew III: Well, do you remember that thing called the Crash?
- Regi Allen: Yes.
- Theodore Drew III: Well, that was us.
- Laura: Yeah, and maybe here's that ten million dollars you've been dreaming about.
- Regi Allen: The way I feel today, I'd settle for a million.
- Regi Allen: Do you dream?
- Theodore Drew III: No.
- Regi Allen: You should - you'd meet a better class of people.
- Theodore Drew III: [bumping into Regi while playing hopscotch] I'm sorry. I didn't know the lights were against me.
- Regi Allen: It's alright.
- [Regi looks at him puzzled]
- Theodore Drew III: Hopscotch.
- Regi Allen: Hopscotch?
- Theodore Drew III: Mhmm. Indoor hopscotch. Not up to field and turf hopscotch, but hopscotch never the less.
- [Ted hops more]
- Theodore Drew III: Get the idea?
- Regi Allen: Yes, I get the idea.
- Theodore Drew III: Want to play?
- Regi Allen: No thanks.
- [Regi walks toward the elevator]
- Theodore Drew III: Well, every man to his own sport.
- [Ted keeps hopping, then stops and walks back toward the elevator too]
- Theodore Drew III: You'll be sorry when I am champion!
- Regi Allen: You can't blame me for wanting the things I do. Every woman wants them. Only I say I do.
- Theodore Drew III: Mother says I'm a throwback to my great-grandfather. He was a pirate.
- Regi Allen: Honest?
- Theodore Drew III: No, a pirate.
- Theodore Drew III: You know, you'd be very beautiful with blonde hair.
- Regi Allen: I have blonde hair.
- Theodore Drew III: You're almost as good at this as my mother was.
- Regi Allen: Was there anything else your mother did?
- Theodore Drew III: Mm-hmm... Before she turned out the lights, she always used to kiss me good night.
- Regi Allen: I'm only *almost* as good as your mother was.
- Allen Macklyn: Would you care for a drink Miss Allen?
- Regi Allen: Oh, no. The day's just starting.
- Allen Macklyn: What a fresh point of view. To me, the night's just ended.
- Allen Macklyn: I'm still rather embarrassed about meeting people.
- Regi Allen: Why?
- Allen Macklyn: Well, frankly, I'm always afraid they'll feel sorry for me.
- Regi Allen: What? When you have all this? You just try getting up every morning at seven, then jammed in the subway, then poking at people's cuticles all day, then jammed back in the subway again at night. I don't feel sorry for you, Mister.
- Allen Macklyn: You think a lot about money, don't you Regi.
- Regi Allen: You've got it. You don't have to think about it.
- Regi Allen: I know what love can get you into. I know what it got my mother into. She was young and pretty once. I saw her count pennies and wash and struggle, until she was old and ugly. I heard her nagging my father until he hated to come home. You couldn't blame him. You couldn't blame anything but poverty.
- Allen Macklyn: I see.
- Regi Allen: Oh, I didn't mean to let my back hair down so far.
- Regi Allen: Is he rich?
- Laura: Not only rich, but young and handsome.
- Regi Allen: Well, what do you talk about to a guy like that? What is, what is he like?
- Laura: Blondes, probably.
- Regi Allen: Go on back to your pineapple queen.
- Theodore Drew III: She's not my pineapple queen. I gave her away. I gave her back to the Hawaiians.
- Regi Allen: What's the matter? Did you find somebody with more pineapples?
- Laura: 1502's been phoning for a manicure since 8:30.
- Regi Allen: 1502? Up where the rich live. Who is it?
- Laura: A Mr. Macklyn.
- Regi Allen: Married?
- Laura: That makes two things I forgot to ask him on the phone - what he had for breakfast and whether he's married or not.
- Regi Allen: It was lovely of you, but taking taxis when you haven't any money is a little foolish, isn't it?
- Theodore Drew III: Foolish? Why, I had to take a taxi. I couldn't go out in this pouring rain and get my only suit all wet, could I?
- Regi Allen: Where's your overcoat?
- Theodore Drew III: Ohhh, spending a little time in the pawnshop...
- Regi Allen: Well, why did you pawn your overcoat?
- Theodore Drew III: Why, to pay for the taxi, of course. Dope!
- Regi Allen: We're exactly alike.
- Theodore Drew III: No, ha ha, oh no, your hair is much prettier than...
- Regi Allen: We are! We're both trying to do the same thing: marry for money.
- Theodore Drew III: Is that what you want to do?
- Regi Allen: Mm-hmm.
- Theodore Drew III: Oh, no, you're too nice for that.
- Regi Allen: Well, I don't want to spend the rest of my life working in a barber shop.
- Theodore Drew III: Well, but to go out in cold blood and deliberately marry somebody for money, that's no good.
- Regi Allen: Well, what are you doing?
- Theodore Drew III: Well... Well, it's different for me: I'm a heel!
- Regi Allen: Well, did I ever say I wasn't one?
- Regi Allen: You must have a lot of friends that could give you a job.
- Theodore Drew III: That'd be a fine friend who'd give you a job. No friend of mine had better try anything like that on me.
