Joe McDoakes : You've given her three promotions and three raises, out of my salary, and you're supposed to make her realize that a woman's place is in the home.

Joe McDoakes : Boss you're not going about this right.
Mr. Batten : What are you talking about?
Joe McDoakes : Don't you remember! She's supposed to hate it here in the office. She's supposed to want to go home to making beds and washing dishes.
Mr. Batten : Oh yes, so she is. Well, I'll think of something. We'll show her that a woman's place *is* in the home.
