[in an office, Julie Gardner can be seen working with some documents. As she's working, Alexander Carston can be seen standing in the doorway]
Alexander Carston: Finished?
Julie Gardner: It'll take me half an hour more if you want these things checked thoroughly.
Alexander Carston: I do. I'll send the car back for you to take you home.
Julie Gardner: Oh no, don't you bother. I'll get a taxi.
Alexander Carston: Okay, goodnight.
Julie Gardner: Goodnight.
[Carston turns and leaves the office as Julie continues to work]

[Bill Bradford and Julie Gardner can be seen drinking together at a bar]
Bill Bradford: An old-fashioned is nothing but a cross between a fruit salad and a slug of whiskey. Now, you take a sidecar...
Julie Gardner: You take another one and you'll drown.
[Bill smiles at her as they both take a drink]
Julie Gardner: Come on, I'm a fine figure of a woman, and I need feeding.
Bill Bradford: Oh, fools. Say, I wouldn't dare to go on a honeymoon with you unless you were on a diet.
[Julie smiles at Bill before the latter looks at the bartender]
Bill Bradford: Check please.

[last lines]
[Bill Bradford and Julie Gardner can be seen in a telephone booth. The former has just finished speaking]
Julie Gardner: Would you feed a lady now?
[Bill smiles and hangs up the phone]
Bill Bradford: Hmm, that's not news.
[the two of them embrace and share a kiss as the film fades out]

[in Alexander Carston's office, Julie Gardner can be seen working on some documents. As she's doing this, Bill Bradford can be seen sticking his head through the door]
Julie Gardner: Twelve-thousand, six-hundred, ninety-seven.
Bill Bradford: And all in dimes.
[Julie looks up to see Bill standing in the doorway]
Bill Bradford: Now, if you don't miss out on a quarter there.

[in Alexander Carston's office, Bill Bradford can be seen speaking to Julie Gardner]
Julie Gardner: Well, Little Willie. What are you doing here?
Bill Bradford: Oh, heckling the proprietors, and leering at the women, and watching the card tricks.

[Bill Bradford can be seen speaking with Julie Gardner in the office of Alexander Carston]
Bill Bradford: Say, I telephoned you before I left the office.
Julie Gardner: To ask me for dinner?
Bill Bradford: Listen, if you could only like me as much after meals as before, this might be a romance.
Julie Gardner: Answer my question.
Bill Bradford: Have you eaten?
Julie Gardner: Uh-huh.
Bill Bradford: Yes.
Julie Gardner: I accept.
Bill Bradford: I thought you said you'd eaten.
Julie Gardner: But not since lunch. I'll be through in a minute.

[in Alexander Carston's office, Bill Bradford can be seen speaking with Julie Gardner, the latter who is working on some documents]
Bill Bradford: Say, if you're gonna have dinner with me, we're gonna go Dutch or you'll go hungry.
Julie Gardner: But you can't be broke on Tuesday. Have you been gambling again?
Bill Bradford: [lights a cigarette] Well, I'll tell you. It's like this. It all gets back to man's best friend, the horse.
Julie Gardner: What choice bit of crow bait did you bet on this time?
Bill Bradford: Midnight. I thought that was the name of the nag, but it was only the time of its due end.

[Julie Gardner can be seen working on some documents for Alexander Carston. Also present is Bill Bradford]
Julie Gardner: Well, let me finish this. I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse.
Bill Bradford: If you'd only done that before the race you might have saved me fifty bucks.
[Julie looks up at Bill and laughs]
