Quotes 

• Sue Riley : [watching actor in movie]  Isn't he grand?

  Matt Nolan : His ears are too big.

• Sue Riley : Gee, doesn't he know how to make love.

• Matt Nolan : You can't make a sucker out of me. You or nobody else. For two cents, I'd knock the ears off you.

  Sue Riley : For less than that, I'd slap your face.

  Matt Nolan : Go ahead. I'll give you first punch!

  [Sue slaps his face and walks away, Matt starts to chase her] 

  Skeets : Ah, come on, Matt. She's only a dame. She don't know any better.

  Matt Nolan : I'll knock her nose.

• Sue Riley : Oh, so you've gone into mind-reading. I'm falling for you, am I? Say, doesn't that arm of yours ever get tired of patting Matt on the back? You kinda like yourself, don't you? Well, pull in those ears of yours if they're not to big and quit braying. I need you about as much as I need the measles. I'm telling you Matt, we're all washed up and I'm through!

  Matt Nolan : Give us a kiss, will ya?

• Sue Riley : What makes you think you're so good? You're not so hot.

  Matt Nolan : [playfully making a fist]  Why, if I thought you meant it.

  [kisses Sue instead] 

  Matt Nolan : Stay that way.

• Sue Riley : I don't think I'm asking too much of you, Matt. All I want you to do is try and be a gentleman. It won't be very hard. Really, it won't. Get that chip off your shoulder and stop pickin' fights with everyone. I can never be happy with you the way you are all the time. I'm on edge, every time we go out.

  Matt Nolan : All right, Ma. I'll be good.

• Matt Nolan : [Sue ignoring Matt]  I see I'm gettin' plenty of ice.

  Sue Riley : What'd you expect? A brass band?

  Matt Nolan : I suppose I am a sucker for comin' back for more punishment.

  Sue Riley : That door works both ways.
