- Phil Harriman: [giving Fred a cocktail] That may look a little strong, but you won't begin to feel it till... the second day.
- Joan Manion: Why don't I get to go to London or China?
- Fred Atwell: Why not?
- Joan Manion: Sure, why not? I have brains, I have, eh, talent.
- Phil Harriman: And beauty. Don't overlook that.
- Joan Manion: Oh, you can't sidetrack the issue with that palaver. Now, why didn't I get sent over there?
- Phil Harriman: 'Cause I like you here. Beside, you're a girl.
- Joan Manion: Margaret Bourke-White went to Russia.
- Phil Harriman: Well, I don't happen to be in love with Margaret Bourke-White.

- Phil Harriman: Gin.
- Fred Atwell: That's just what I have.

- Phil Harriman: Sometimes I don't understand myself.
- Joan Manion: You, too?
- Phil Harriman: Why should I do anything for him?
- Joan Manion: Oh, I thought perhaps you were doing it for me.

- Phil Harriman: I'll meet you at LaGuardia at three o'clock.
- Joan Manion: All right.
- Phil Harriman: I'll be the fat man with the - broken heart.
