Quotes 

• Doctor : Haven't you brought enough unhappiness to your husband without jeopardizing his life?

  Lola Davis Hayes : I...?

  Doctor : Let me give you a little advice. One way or another, a man will find a woman to look out for him not only when he's sick but when he's well. That's something you so-called "modern girls" never seem to count on. You talk about freedom, because you think it's something men have and cherish. But they don't. They hate it. They get along best when they're *not* free. It's human nature, that's all. They need old-fashioned women looking after their health, nagging them into caution, feeding them properly, and giving them families to live for. A great many of these women are just as well-fitted for business as you are, but they don't want it. They put their talents to work instead in what people today think of as a narrow sphere. Well, I don't think it's narrow. I think it's the most important sphere of all. Not much recognition in it, perhaps--no spectacular publicity--but it's built up nations before now, and it *will* build them again.

  Mrs. Davis : You hear that, Lola?

• Lola Davis : Oh, what's the use, Connie. Things never happen the way you want them to.

  Connie : But it doesn't hurt to think about them once in awhile, does it?

  Lola Davis : Sometimes it does hurt - terribly.

• Lola Davis : Now, honestly, Agnes, do you think any person with any sense at all would fall for a deliberate trap like that?

  Agnes Davis : Oh, honey bunch, hundreds of thousands of them fall for it every year.

• Lola Davis Hayes : Gee, with Ken's 40 and my 40 we'll have 80. At least we won't have to worry about the radio payments - and we can have a cleaning woman.

  Connie : Gee, that's *swell*, Lola.

• Ken Hayes : [phone rings]  Say, if that's your boyfriend, tell him that you slipped on a cake of soap, will you?

  Lola Davis : No, that'd never do. He might want to pick me up.

• Lola Davis Hayes : I got a raise today.

  Ken Hayes : Well, so you got a raise.

  Lola Davis Hayes : Isn't that swell?

  Ken Hayes : Yeah. You'll be wearing the pants from now on, I suppose.

  Lola Davis Hayes : Ken, do you think that's nice?

  Ken Hayes : Well, it's the truth, isn't it? You'll be earning more than I will.

  Lola Davis Hayes : Well, what of it?

  Ken Hayes : Oh, nothing, I guess. Anything goes these days.

• Lola Davis Hayes : [in bed, kiss]  Morning. Morning, precious.

  [kiss] 

  Ken Hayes : Mmm. Morning.

  [kiss, kiss-kiss-kiss] 

  Lola Davis Hayes : Ah. Ah-ah-ah. You better get up, honey. You were late for work yesterday morning.

• Lola Davis Hayes : You've just been a poor sport about everything, that's all. You do nothing but complain and drink and lose your job. Now, when I have a chance to make a little money, you want me to quit. For what? Will you tell me that?

• Ken Hayes : A fellow can't even have a good time anymore without getting into trouble.

  Lola Davis Hayes : Well, you didn't have to get drunk.

  Ken Hayes : Why shouldn't I? I give up everything for a wife and a home and what do I get? A woman to live with and a lot of dirty dishes.

• Lola Davis Hayes : But surely you can't expect that boys would know anything about nursing.

  Mrs. Davis : Oh, I don't know, Lola. I give up. In my day, a man had his wife to look after him when he was sick.

• Lola Davis Hayes : We could spend the Fall in the Dolomites and the Winter in Rome. You'd love Rome.

  Lola Davis Hayes : They tell me they have lots of flies there.

  Lola Davis Hayes : I'll buy you a swatter.

• Lola Davis Hayes : But you don't understand. I like being independent.

  Lola Davis Hayes : Because you're not in love, that's why.

  Lola Davis Hayes : You think so?

  Lola Davis Hayes : Gosh, If I - if I could only make you realize...

  Lola Davis Hayes : I understand, Peter. You're simply *mad* about me.
