Quotes 

• Maxine Carroll : May I make one suggestion? Ladies usually wear their garters inside their slips. Outside that, you look scrumptious.

• Maxine Carroll : [First lines]  Bring me an Old Fashion, please.

  Headwaiter : Yes, Miss.

  Maxine Carroll : And don't make it too old fashioned.

• Lieutenant Kenny Williams : [On the phone]  Hello, Maxine. Hello, honey.

  Maxine Carroll : What's the idea of letting me sit alone in a restaurant. I had to pay my own check! What kind of a guy are you, anyway?

  Lieutenant Kenny Williams : Oh, listen, honey, don't get mad, you get wrinkles.

• Maxine Carroll : It was pretty sweet of him to send me flowers. Guess I'll have to forgive him after all.

  Effie Perkins : Softy!

• Maxine Carroll : I think I'll wear my pink dress tonight. The one with the full skirt.

  Effie Perkins : Don't put it on until you see the whites of his eyes.

  Maxine Carroll : What?

  Effie Perkins : Every time Kenny sends you roses, you end up all dressed up, made up and stood up.

• Maxine Carroll : Where do we intend to go for dinner?

  Lieutenant Kenny Williams : Oh, I thought we'd go around to Tony's.

  Buck Moseby : [Pretending to be Charlie Jones]  Oh, not on a night like this! Why don't we go out in the open where they got trees and bushes.

  Effie Perkins : Oh, now, Mr. Jones, no bushes.

• Maxine Carroll : Yes, Kenny, you're really going to be the flower of the Force.

• Maxine Carroll : Sure, they're all interesting - and this one was a pip!

• Maxine Carroll : [In bed, late at night]  Effie! Effie, somebody's at the door. I wonder who it is?

  Effie Perkins : Oh, I suppose my sister had another baby.

• Maxine Carroll : Something tells me I'm about to make a dope of myself again.

• Maxine Carroll : I'll get you this bottle. But, remember one thing, I don't go with the bottle.

• Lieutenant Kenny Williams : Listen, you saw this dame.

  Maxine Carroll : Well, just a peek.

• Maxine Carroll : Capt. McGovern, when you die, why don't you leave your body to science?

  Police Captain McGovern : What for?

  Maxine Carroll : I'd just like to know what cops use for a heart.

  Police Captain McGovern : [walks away laughing]  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

• Maxine Carroll : The world is full of nice, normal men, and I become engaged to a crazy cop.

  Police Lieutenant Kenny Williams : Darling, I wish you wouldn't keep referring to me as a cop. I'm a grade-A detective - homicide squad. It's a vastly different thing.

• Maxine Carroll : Kenny Williams, of all the shabby tricks you've ever played on me, this is the worst. Letting me dance with a common murderer.

• Maxine Carroll : Mr. Jones, just what is your alma mater?

  Buck Moseby : Listen lady, let's cut out the double talk and get down to brass tacks, huh.

• Maxine Carroll : It must be fun, running into an old alumnus like this.

  Buck Moseby : Oh, go on. You ain't so old.
