Quotes 

• Johnny Dalton : And if we did get married, how would we manage? I have nothing. How would we live?

  Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : I'm sure something would come along.

  Johnny Dalton : Yeah. And we'd have to feed that too.

• Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : I'm even willing to marry you.

  R.B. 'Bob' Pulsifer Jr. : Marry? You can't threaten me. Hello, operator? Get me the police right away!

• Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Bob, don't you ever give up?

  R.B. 'Bob' Pulsifer Jr. : And I'm pretty too. What a combination: money, rosy cheeks; money, flashing teeth; money, curly hair, and; money!

• Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Have you ever thought about what's going to happen to you - to us? Are we just gonna go on and on and on?

  Johnny Dalton : Who said we're just gonna go on and on and on? Mibs, do you think I enjoy handing out money to other people and then spending all afternoon adding up how much I handed out all morning? I hate banking! I hate figures. I hate addition and subtraction.

  Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : And I hate being an old maid.

• Johnny Dalton : Oh, baby, I wish we could get married today; but, without that raise it - well, look, our combined gross annual income is $4,212.25, before taxes.

  Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : You have it all figured out to the penny, haven't you. You've had your whole life planned like a bank statement. My father got married when he was only making $18 a week.

  Johnny Dalton : And steak was nine cents a pound. No, baby, it won't work. It's too much of a gamble.

• R.B. 'Bob' Pulsifer Jr. : Well, old man opportunity knocks again. Say, would you like to go...

  Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Yes!

  R.B. 'Bob' Pulsifer Jr. : Now, wait a second, how am I gonna learn to be a wolf if you give in so easily?

• R.B. 'Bob' Pulsifer Jr. : Where would you like to go?

  Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : I wanna go someplace where it costs a dollar and a half for bread and butter. Where the music's so expensive, that you can hardly hear it. I wanna drink Champagne and Cointreau and just anything that you can't mix with cola. I wanna dance and dance and stay out so late that the neighbors will talk. I wanna enjoy life. I wanna live - live dangerously!

  R.B. 'Bob' Pulsifer Jr. : What an opportunity - for a heel like me.

• Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : More champagne. Fill it up please.

  R.B. 'Bob' Pulsifer Jr. : Mibs, don't you think maybe you're living a little too dangerously?

  Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Spilts'll make you feel gay, isn't it? Well then why doesn't it? Mildred feels

  [hiccup] 

  Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : terrible.

  R.B. 'Bob' Pulsifer Jr. : Well, pretty soon you won't feel anything. And then we'll see whether Yale really made me a gentleman and a scholar, won't we.

• Johnny Dalton : [singing]  Kisses and tears, it's up to you, If we laugh or if we cry through the years Unless you trust me, Whenever a doubt appears, Your future with me will continue to be, Kisses and tears.

  Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Kisses and tears.

  Johnny Dalton , Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Kisses and tears.

• Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Johnny, you left the bank in such a hurry I didn't get a chance to invite you formerly, but, I like surprises better anyway. You won't have to eat at Baganucci's tonight. It's Christmas Eve, Johnny. Johnny, Chinese food!

• Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Emile, this isn't another one of your stories is it? This is the truth, isn't it?

  Emile J. Keck : If it isn't may I drop dead on this spot.

  [Mibs takes a drink, Emile moves to another place on the sofa] 

• Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Please don't arrest Johnny, I'll do anything. Anything!

• Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhue : I know where I'd like you to go, but we don't have a branch down there.

• Emile J. Keck : You'll get lucky, Johnny. Look at my uncle Julius. When he got married he was a pauper, and overnight he made a fortune in the lumber business.

  Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug : Overnight?

  Emile J. Keck : They discovered trees on his property.
