Mabel
- Mabel: I'm surprised at you Patsy, tearin' up poems! Gee, there must be an unrefined streak in you, somewheres.
- Mabel: [after hocking her dress] I've taken off more clothes for the horses than I ever did for the Shuberts.
- Patsy: Listen to this: "Why was it that I chose to roam? Cross land and sea, so far from home. If that be life, my mutter dear, I send this card, of love and cheer. Mutter's Day, number 37." That touches ya, ya know that. Right here.
- Mabel: Yeah. Like seein' a good, sad movie, ain't it. Gee.
- Patsy: You know, this Erwin guy ain't bein' appreciated.
- Patsy: Erwin, this is the little woman!
- Erwin Trowbridge: How do you do? Miss...
- Mabel: Just call me Mabel, Erwin. Any friend of Patsy's is a friend of mine.
- Patsy: I've often suspected that.
- Mabel: Let me think! I know I ain't got the brains for it; but, you'd be surprised what I can do with materials at hand.
- Harry, the Bartender: Well, what's the matter with him?
- Mabel: I don't know, but he's the most relaxed son-of-a-gun I ever saw. Maybe we should give him another drink?
- Harry, the Bartender: What do you want to do - embalm him?
- Mabel: You want to see it? You want to see it?
- Erwin Trowbridge: Well, eh, yes.
- Mabel: Say, I'd do anything for you. Cause I'm just *crazy* about poetry! That's why. I got to get limbered up, though. Now, here we go.
- Patsy: Say, what is this?
- Erwin Trowbridge: She's dizzy.
- Mabel: I'm dizzy, Patsy.
- Patsy: You must be to try and double-cross me. Get back to your room before I kick your teeth in!
- Patsy: There you are, pal. I had it made up special.
- [hands Erwin a tie]
- Erwin Trowbridge: I thought perhaps you did. Maybe I better take one of your less expensive ones.
- Patsy: Put it on! Put it on! It tones you up a bit.
- Mabel: Yeah, like a Calliope!
