Quotes 

• Anne Scott : I didn't hear you knock?

  Joe Greer : Since when is a dame like you expect guys to knock?

• Anne Scott : Playing nurse maid to a kid, huh? And I suppose you'll stay home and keep the kettle boiling. No fun. No dates. No shows. No nothing. Just sittin' at home, taking care of the lighthouse. You're right. Maybe I'm crazy. I don't know.

  Lee Merrick : You don't understand.

  Anne Scott : Oh, that's a sucker's alibi. Some people are born dumb. But, that isn't your case. I knew you when you were smart. But, you're getting dumber and dumber everyday.

• Anne Scott : Well, I'd hate to admit that what I know about men, I learned from you. I've had my share and I'm not quotin' any books. You can take those hard drinkin', hard ridin' men and put them not into an automobile; but, into a truck and shove them over a cliff, as far as I'm concerned. And that guy of yours thinks cause he's ridin' in a one-seater, he's ridin' alone. He doesn't know that you're covering every lap of every race with him.

• Anne Scott : Oh, boy. What this country needs is a broken heart insurance for us women. Those monks get it for broken bones and things and it's us that need protection. I've had my share and I'm cured and I'm gonna stay that way.

• Anne Scott : Hurry up. That might be Joe. Now, go on, powder your face.

• Edward 'Eddie' Greer : Gosh, I've been down at that track every day now. I'm just about gettin' the feel of it too. Say, did you ever see me drive?

  Anne Scott : [sarcastically]  No, that's a thrill I'm saving up.

• Anne Scott : [Wearing a dress, sitting in a chair with her legs, in full view, propped up on a nearby table, talking about Joe's brother]  You'd think we were trying to ruin him or something.

  Joe Greer : You're all tricked out for it!

  [shoves her legs, propped up on the table, to the floor] 

  Joe Greer : Why didn't you stand on your head while you were about it.

  Lee Merrick : Say, you can't treat my friends that way!

  Joe Greer : I don't care who you run around with; but, you can't throw that kid in with a dame like this.

  Anne Scott : Hey, you big bozo, who do you think you're talking to? You think you're at the race track or something?
