- Pat Mahoney: He was pretty swell in the moonlight last night.
- Molly Mahoney: So is the Taj Mahal, but I wouldn't wanna marry it.
- Molly Mahoney: Well, we can't spend the whole day admiring each other.
- Eddie Kerns: Say, that's right. We gotta get down to the casino. Buddy Bartell is waiting for us right now.
- Molly Mahoney: He is? Oh, can't we go to the beauty parlor and get sand blasted or something? I got half of Nebraska down my neck.
- Eddie Kerns: Aw, come on, you look beautiful.
- Molly Mahoney: Here I'm thinkin' you're all grown up and you're actin' like a kid again. Come on, buck up.
- Molly Mahoney: Let's go! You all wanna be Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell someday, don't you?
- Kids Tap Class: Yes, Miss Mahoney!
- Molly Mahoney: Will I live to see it? Pick 'em up! You shouldn't be tired at your age.
- Molly Mahoney: Well, kids. Gee, the routines look swell. You'll walk away with the show!
- Eddie Kerns: Oh, they'll be alright after you brush up some of the rough spots for us. Maybe you can give us a couple of good hot breaks?
- Molly Mahoney: Not on your life! I'm saving my routines for television!
- Eddie Kerns: [laughter] Oh, television! Goodness!
- Pat Mahoney: [Showing off her nails] Look, how do you like 'em? Its that new shade of Campbell Red all those glamour girls are wearing.
- Molly Mahoney: Swell. Slip into this. Maybe it'll look better on you than it did on the ironing board.
- Molly Mahoney: I guess you've been doin' all right for yourself since you got out of show business with that column and all those newspapers and everything.
- Jed Marlowe: Aw, I've got those chumps fooled. I'm still a hoofer at heart.
- Molly Mahoney: So am I. I used to dream I'd have this town at my feet. Now I'd settle for a good chiropodist.
- Jed Marlowe: Tell me, aren't you Miss These, Them and Those, yet?
- Molly Mahoney: You mean, Eddie? No, not yet, but we're engaged and that's as good as bein' married.
- Jed Marlowe: As good? It's a darn sight better.
- Jed Marlowe: Molly, you're in a swell spot here to keep your eyes and ears open to see what's going on. And that's what I breed on. How'd you like to make yourself a little extra dough?
- Molly Mahoney: Sure. I think so.
- Jed Marlowe: Swell. Now, here's your first job. Find out who that sweet little dish is that has Chat Chatsworth hanging on the ropes. You know her?
- Molly Mahoney: [Sees it's Pat] No, Jed. That's a new one on me.
- Molly Mahoney: Say, what is this bird Chatsworth like, anyway?
- Jed Marlowe: He's a wild cuckoo. He flits from limb to limb and every season he picks himself a new mate. After he's feathered their nest with linoleum, he flies away and picks himself another. Five, so far.
- Molly Mahoney: Five wives?
- Jed Marlowe: From penthouse to flop house in one easy lesson.
- Molly Mahoney: Don't worry, Pat. You're not going to be in the way. Besides, Eddie's just as crazy about you as I am.
- Jed Marlowe: You got any mud for me?
- Molly Mahoney: No, not yet, Jed, I - I been kinda busy.
- Jed Marlowe: Did you get the low down on that pigeon Chatsworth's running around with?
- Molly Mahoney: No, I haven't.
- Jed Marlowe: They tell me she's a little Romanian dancer by the name of -Mahoney.
- Molly Mahoney: Now, listen, kid. You can't go for that. In a month you'd be one of his ex-wives. He's a regular Henry the Eighth!
- Molly Mahoney: [to Pat] Bye baby, be happy.
- [to Eddie]
- Molly Mahoney: And you better see that she is too - you big ham-o-la.
- Jed Marlowe: Molly, you can still change your mind.
- Molly Mahoney: Not me. I'm gonna be back in Nebraska in time for the corn and lima bean festival. And, who knows, maybe this year I'll be elected Queen of the Succotash!
