- Anna Christie: You was going on as if one of you had to own me. But, nobody owns me, see; excepting, myself. I'll do what I please and no man, I don't give a darn who he is, can tell me what to do. I haven't asked either of you for living. I'll make it myself, one way or another. I am my own boss. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it!
- Matt Burke: Glory be, what do I care for a stew or a pie? It's not for food I'm hungry... but for the sight of your face.
- Anna Christie: [Amused and flattered] Oh, go on with your blarney, you gasbag!
- Anna Christie: I'm just out of the hospital, two weeks. The judge gave all us girls 30 days. Well, the others didn't seem to mind being in the cooler much. But, I couldn't stand it. I went nuts. I never could stand being caged up nowhere. I got good and sick and they had to send me to the hospital. And it was nice there. I was sorry to leave it, honest.
- Matt Burke: This queer, rough talk; not for a decent enough girl like yourself.
- Anna Christie: Decent! Who told you I was?
- Chris Christofferson: On trip back, I take you up in Woolworth Building. There, you see everything.
- Anna Christie: I've seen too much already.
- Chris Christofferson: By, Jiminy Cricket, we got to celebrate now! Come on Larry, give us a drink, there!
- Anna Christie: I ain't expectin' much from him. Give you a kick when you're down. That's what all men do. And I don't suppose he'll turn out no better than the rest.
- Chris Christofferson: You drink your wine. That put new life in you. Skol, Ann. You know that Swedish word?
- Anna Christie: Skol. I guess I know that word, alright, alright.
- Anna Christie: Give me a whiskey, ginger ale on the side... and don't be stingy, baby.
- Larry the Bartender: [a bit sarcastically] Well, shall I serve it in a pail?
- Anna Christie: Well, that suits me down to the ground.
- [last lines]
- Chris Christofferson: Fog, fog all time. You can't tell where you was going. Only that old devil sea. She knows.
- Marthy Owens: Ole square head, huh? Tryin' to kid Marthy Owens, huh? Ha-ha. Oh, I'm on to the game. I wasn't born dragged up on the waterfront for nothin'. You thought I'd make trouble, didn't you? Not me. I'm packin' my duds and I'm quittin' ya. I'm leavin' you flat! Oh, there's plenty of guys on plenty of boats waiin' for me. Always was. I always found. Ha-ha. So, cheer up old square head. I'll be out of the way before your kid gets here. You'll be rid of me for good! And me and you. And good riddance to both of us.
- Chris Christofferson: You, that's a good girl, Marthy.
- Marthy Owens: Oh, good girl! Cut that bull. Ha-ha. You was always square to me. So, it's 50-50. Nobody owes nobody nothin', do they? Nobody's sore. Still friends.
- Chris Christofferson: Oh, by golly, yes, Marthy.
- Marthy Owens: Well, I like your nerve, alright, alright. Huh! Gee, I'm, I'm sorry I came here to speak to you. Huh! Insulting me! Ha-ha. Well, can you beat it? Ha-ha. I'll be toddlin' along.
- Anna Christie: Say, *his* bringing me up... Is that what he tells people? Well, I sure like his nerve. Why, he let them cousins keep me on the farm and work me to death like a dog.
- Marthy Owens: [chuckles] Well, you didn't fall for that farm life, did ya'?
- Anna Christie: I should say not. I had to slave for all of them. It was all right 'til my mother died. But I was only a "poor relation," you know? And they treated me worse than they dare treat a hired girl. Oh, what a life on that farm out in Minnesota, with them Swedes, woman-hungry. One night I was alone in the house, and one of his sons came back... After that I hated them so, I'd kill them all if I stayed. So I ran away - St. Paul...
- Anna Christie: That's all men's fault, giving you the wrong start!
- Chris Christofferson: You know, Anna, you is awful pretty girl. I bet you all men see you, fall in love with you, by jiminy.
- Anna Christie: Cut that! You talk just as they all do.
- Chris Christofferson: Ain't no harm your father talk that way, Anna.
- Anna Christie: Ah, a fine father you are... like a stranger! Why didn't you ever come out west to see me?
- Chris Christofferson: I'm sorry, Anna, but after your mother died, I want come see you end of every voyage. But when I get money for coming west I forget. And I get drunk and spend all money. I don't know why, Anna, but that's the way with most sailor fella. That old Devil Sea, she make them crazy fools with her dirty tricks. It's so.
- Anna Christie: Well, it's good you've got something to blame it on.
- Matt Burke: Is it any religion at all you have, you and your Anna?
- Chris Christofferson: Well, in the old country, we was Lutheran.
- Matt Burke: LUTHERAN, is it? Ah, then I'm damned entirely. Ah, yada, what's the difference? It is God's will, anyhow.
