  • I press men's pants. But this is the slack season.
  • If I was putting on a new shaw for Miss Show, I mean, a new show for Miss Shaw, well, I've always liked boats. I'd open on a big white battleship, with guns, they'd be white too! Then the spotlight swings to the starboard and reveals Miss Shaw. And she comes floatin' down to the main floor on a big, beautiful white cloud. And she does a dance on the guns and then for a finish they - they fire broadside.
  • How do you like that? I'm even a failure at killing myself.

Constance Shaw

  • Just wait till I get my hands on that Park Avenue she-wolf!
  • Kiss me, you idiot!

  • Joe, if what's runnin' through my mind is runnin' through yours, I swear I'll whip you to an inch of your life.

Jimmy Dorsey

  • Connie and Larry, you were really diggin' with a dignified dialogue tonight.

Kenneth Lawlor

  • You know, something tells me that your gold mine and my gold mine ought to get together.

Dialogue

edit
Constance Shaw: Say, you like me a lot, don't you?
Joseph Rivington Renolds: Oh, Miss Shaw, I'm so crazy about you, I'm crazy.
Annette: Why, Mr. Renolds, we hardly recognized you.
Joseph Rivington Renolds: Oh, well my suit may not be very zoot, but, it's all mine.
Annette: I know how you feel, Mr. Renolds, I had a tragic romance in my life too.
Joseph Rivington Renolds: What did you take for it? I mean, what did you take for it?
Annette: A large dose of forgetfulness. He was an actor, a strolling minstrel. He just strolled right in and - strolled right out.
Annette: I'm sorry, Mr. Renolds, I mean about the way things ended.
Joseph Rivington Renolds: Yeah, before they even began.
Joseph Rivington Renolds: Look, Connie, I'm still your husband. You're going to take orders from me. Now, get outta here!
Constance Shaw: Oh, you're wonderful, Joe.
Joseph Rivington Renolds: Oh, that Jimmy Dorsey's really got a band, hadn't he?
Tommy Dorsey: [turns around] Yeah.
Joseph Rivington Renolds: Oh, boy, what a brass section, what arrangements!
Man with Tommy: Hey, did you ever hear his brother Tommy?
Joseph Rivington Renolds: Oh, sure. Too many fiddles, though. [points to a photo of Jimmy Dorsey] There's a guy that's solid murder.
Tommy Dorsey: Yeah, I like Bob Hope too.
Constance Shaw: What does it look like?
Joseph Rivington Renolds: [tossing stuffed rabbit over shoulder as he frantically rifles through pile of junk looking for bomb] It looks like a rabbit. Oh, you mean the bomb.
