- Mr. Borden: Well, Michael, there seems to be a touch of spring in the air.
- Mike: Yes sir, that's something even the poor people can enjoy.
- Mr. Borden: [Seeing Mary eat an apple for her dinner] Are you on a diet?
- Mary Grey: Yes, but against my wishes.
- Higgins: You were very quiet after you fell down the stairs, sir. You're last request was that we put Miss America in the guest room.
- Mr. Borden: Miss America? Did somebody else come home with us?
- Mary Grey: No, I'm Miss America.
- Mr. Borden: You see, it's my birthday.
- Mary Grey: [Cynically] Birthdays are all right, but you never get over the first one.
- Seal Expert: [At the Central Park Zoo] Don't get them seals wrong, lady. They have more intelligence than most of the carnivorous, except the dog.
- Mary Grey: That so?
- Mr. Borden: Anyhow, they seem to be having a nice time.
- Mary Grey: I can't imagine it would be much fun, swimming around all day in a fur coat.
- Seal Expert: That's were you're wrong again, lady. These ain't fur seals at all.
- Mary Grey: They ain't?
- Mr. Borden: Say, you don't think that I followed you over here?
- Mary Grey: Why should you? What are you? A flatfoot?
- Mr. Borden: Eh, oh, you mean a detective. Oh, no, no.
- Mary Grey: Well, if you are, I haven't done anything.
- Mary Grey: [Sitting a on park bench in Central Park] You sound like one of them Fifth Avenue cadavers.
- Mr. Borden: Fifth Avenue what?
- Mary Grey: Those people that live over there...
- Mr. Borden: How do they sound.
- Mary Grey: Oh, they're always squawking. You'd think the country was going to the dogs.
- Mr. Borden: Well, they've got their problems too.
- Mary Grey: What problems? I used to stand at the Plaza at night and watch them go home. They look like a lot of wax dummies that have eaten an overdose of sour pickles.
- Mr. Borden: We could go some place and eat.
- Mary Grey: Where?
- Mr. Borden: Well, there's the Flamingo Club.
- Mary Grey: The Flamingo? You mean that very elegant cafe over on...
- Mr. Borden: Well, people must have a wonderful time there, it costs so much... I mean it. I'd love to go.
- Mary Grey: So would I. But, I'd just as soon go to the automat and keep the change.
- Mr. Borden: Where did you come from?
- Mary Grey: From upstairs.
- Mr. Borden: I know, but, how did you get upstairs?
- Mary Grey: Well, don't you remember?
- Mr. Borden: In a way I do, but, in a way I don't.
- Tim Borden: I don't know anything about the *pump* business?
- Mr. Borden: You'll learn. There's really nothing to it.
- Mr. Borden: Say, the family were being very nice to you when I came down.
- Mary Grey: They nearly scared me to death.
- Mary Grey: Well, it's pretty simple. Take something from somebody they don't want and they want it more than ever.
- Mr. Borden: You've got a lot of common sense.
- Mary Grey: You've lost yours, but, it'll come back.
- Mr. Borden: It's like having an old car, one you've got used to. You can either junk it or try to salvage it.
- Mary Grey: You're still in love with your wife, aren't you.
- Mr. Borden: Well, no. But, you see, after a certain time, when love goes away, something else is left in its place which is even more important.
- Mr. Borden: You sure I'm not keeping you from an engagement?
- Mrs. Borden: No. I was going to stay home tonight.
- Mr. Borden: You're all dressed up.
- Mrs. Borden: What? This? It's just a little informal thing I wear around.
- Mr. Borden: Well, it's very pretty.
- Mrs. Borden: It, eh, shows off my figure, doesn't it?
- Mr. Borden: It shows a lot of it, if that's what you mean.
- Mr. Borden: [Looking at the loud tie his secretary has given him for his birthday] Well, that's one bright spot on a gloomy day.
- Higgins: Aren't you feeling well, sir?
- Mr. Borden: I guess I'm all right.
- Higgins: Perhaps its a touch of spring fever.
- Mr. Borden: Perhaps.
- Higgins: I felt it myself this afternoon, just walking in the park.
- Mr. Borden: What park?
- Higgins: Central Park, sir.
- Mr. Borden: Oh, yes, I forgot it was there.
- Mr. Borden: I've got to get these shoes off before I go another step. They're killing me. I wonder who invented shoes?
- Mary Grey: If the world were carpeted with leather we wouldn't have to wear any shoes. We could go barefoot.
- Mrs. Borden: Do you know what I've been doing in my spare time?
- Mr. Borden: What?
- Mrs. Borden: Learning to Rhumba.
- [laughs]
- Mrs. Borden: I knew you'd be pleased.
