Dan O'Connor : So, this is the pip you phoned about. Where did you pick her up?
Ben Smith : I ran across her a long time ago. I've been saving her for a spot like this.
Dan O'Connor : Can she croon? What I need's a crooner.
Ben Smith : She can croon in a pinch. Who can't?
Dan O'Connor : I got one good-looker eating her head off on me already. I don't know if I can use another.
Ben Smith : All right, then. All right. I got three or four spots I can place this dame without half trying. Come on, baby.

Nick Townsend : Why don't you cool down and run along? We don't want any trouble.
Big Fellow : Yellow, huh?
Nick Townsend : Yes, maybe I am. As a matter of fact, I'm scared stiff. And being reasonably certain that someone's gonna get a punch in the jaw, I'm going to make sure it isn't me.
[punches him]
Minor Role : Are you goin' back for more, or will we go home, ya big stiff? Come on Mary.
Big Fellow : [as he's being picked up off the floor] Who hit me?
Dan O'Connor : Sorry this happened, Mr. Townsend.

Nick Townsend : Say, O'Connor, I meant to call you up yesterday but I didn't get around to it. Miss Jones isn't going to work for you anymore.
Dan O'Connor : What's the idea? She can't quit me like this.
Ben Smith : Who's that?
Nick Townsend : Nick Townsend. After me giving her all this publicity and workin' up a swell following for her?
Nick Townsend : Do you happen to have a contract with Miss Jones?
Dan O'Connor : Have you got that dame under contract?
Ben Smith : Have I got a million dollars?

Ben Smith : I'm no magician. I can't pick her out of the air. I've done my best to find her.
Dan O'Connor : Did you try her home?
Ben Smith : Sure, I tried her home, and I found out plenty. She's married.
Dan O'Connor : Married?
Ben Smith : And what's more, she's got a kid.
Dan O'Connor : A kid?
Ben Smith : And her husband's gone to Europe for his health.
Dan O'Connor : For his health.
Ben Smith : He sailed three weeks ago. She ain't been home all day and neither has the kid and nobody knows when she'll be back.
Dan O'Connor : Maybe something's happened to them.
Ben Smith : And me pickin' a winner for the first time this year. Blooey goes my fifteen percent. Why the next one I get, I'll nail down if I have to marry her.
