Norma Besant : I sorta got things twisted. But, I was wonderin', did we have a date to go to the dance tonight?
Stanley Wentworth : Why, I thought I...
Norma Besant : That's just what I thought too, Stanley; but, it was so long ago, I kinda forgot.
Stanley Wentworth : Yeah, one does forget, I suppose.
Norma Besant : It was just the funniest thing, but, you see I-I kinda forgot. You 'member I was over at Nellie Anne's a couple a weeks ago? And, I-I met Michael.
Stanley Wentworth : Oh, well I see where I take another ride in the rumble seat.

Stanley Wentworth : Why don't you marry me, Norma?
Norma Besant : Stanley, you're a dear.
Stanley Wentworth : Oh, I know you've heard it so often it's beginning to sound like an echo. But, I do, so, mean it.

Miss Jenkins : [Talking to Stanley] And the doctor wore rubber gloves, the kind I wear when I wash dishes on the maid's night out.
[Stanely sees Norma motioning to him, and he abruptly leaves the conversation]
Norma Besant : [Stanley and Norma dance for *literally* two seconds] Oh, wasn't that just wonderful?
Stanley Wentworth : Yes, wasn't it?
Norma Besant : Let's go out and get some fresh air, Stanley.
Stanley Wentworth : I need it.
[as the pair pass Miss Jenkins, still standing where she was when Stanley left her]
Stanley Wentworth : Pardon me, Miss Jenkins, I enjoyed your operations very much.
Miss Jenkins : Oh.
Stanley Wentworth : [as Norma and Stanely emerge outside] If I have to hear that story once more, I'll be operating on Miss Jenkins in my sleep.
