- San Thomas: Remember what you once told me when I was low: all of us are standing in the mud, well...
- Petey Brown: Some of us are looking at the stars.
- San Thomas: Here's lookin' at ya, baby.
- Nicky Toresca: I've been noticing him sitting out there night after night. Its a funny thing, he ain't out there tonight.
- Petey Brown: Maybe he's getting tired of the watered liquor.
- Nicky Toresca: I kind of go for that dress you're wearing.
- Petey Brown: I was afraid of that when I put it on.
- San Thomas: Isn't life difficult enough without mixing it up with memories?
- Petey Brown: I don't know. Mine don't go back far enough yet.
- Petey Brown: Honey, why be a sucker all your life? She wouldn't give you the time of day if she had two watches.
- Johnny O'Connor: I work the night shift - I can't take her anywhere.
- Petey Brown: Well, honey, all I can say is you better change to the day shift.
- Petey Brown: I want to try to do something for her when I get out there. She slings spaghetti for a living. You get awfully tried carrying those trays.
- Petey Brown: [singing] Someday he'll come along, The man I love, And he'll be big and strong, The man I love, And when he comes my way, I'll do my best to make him stay...
- Petey Brown: I know quite a few things and - I sing.
- Nicky Toresca: Oh, so you're a canary too?
- Petey Brown: Some people like it. Care for a sample?
- Nicky Toresca: Maybe you ought to stick around.
- Petey Brown: You think maybe I should?
- Nicky Toresca: I think maybe this town could do a lot for you.
- Petey Brown: I think maybe I could do a little something for this town.
- Petey Brown: [singing] Why was I born? Why am I living? What do I get? What am I giving? Why do I want of things, I daren't hope for? What can I hope for? I wish I knew...
- Sally Otis: It's not her fault that Johnny spoils her so.
- Petey Brown: What she needs from Johnny is a swift kick - in the right place.
