Quotes 

• Wrigley : [Pointing to Abigail, he is drunk and forcibly escorted away]  She's the "Queen of Burlesque" with the Golden Rooster! She's "The Belle of the Bowery!"

  Mrs. Ella Patterson : Oh dear, dear. This is dreadful. This is really dreadful.

  [to Abigail] 

  Mrs. Ella Patterson : I'm so sorry.

  'Spike' : Well, what's the matter with being "The Belle of the Bowery?" What's wrong with that?

  Mr. Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Sr. : There's nothing the matter with being "The Belle of the Bowery" Mr. Marengo except she's not the sort of a person we'd care to have in the opera.

  'Spike' : Oh, you was thinkin' of her for the opera?

  Mr. Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Sr. : Miss Abigail has a very beautiful voice. I'm sure it was the alcohol in Wrigley that was talking, wasn't it Miss Abigail?

  Martha Canford Chandler : [Before Abigail can speak, Martha jumps in]  Oh, he meant me. I'm the one who sings at the Golden Rooster, not Abigail.

  Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : Martha, have you lost your mind?

  Martha Canford Chandler : I am High "C" Suzie.

  Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : [laughs nervously]  This is ridiculous. Abigail, what's gotten into her?

  Abigail Chandler : I'm sure that butler's been drinking.

  Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : Mr. Marengo, you know she's talking nonsense.

  'Spike' : [to Martha]  Are you on the level, kid?

  Martha Canford Chandler : I'm "The Belle of the Bowery" and I'm proud of it.

  Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : Well, I... I refuse to believe it. I shall, if necessary, go down to, uh, the place and prove it all to be a fiction.

  Mr. Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Sr. : That might be best.

  Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : I shall be there tomorrow night.

  Mr. Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Sr. : I think it a very good idea.
