• Mr. Applegate : Have a nice trip?

  Lola : Perfect. The plane crashed in Cleveland.

  Mr. Applegate : Good. Now about that job in Chicago.

  Lola : Just dandy. I got the old boy to embezzle 100,000 dollars and lost it for him at the race track. Then his wife left him and he took to drink. I told him I was through and he jumped out the window... twenty second story.

  Mr. Applegate : That's high enough, that's fine.

  Lola : I wanna try the Empire State Building on this next one.

• Lola : I took the zing out of the King of Siam. / I took the starch out of the sails of the Prince of Wales. / It's no great art gettin' the heart of a man on a silver platter. / A little brains, a little talent with an emphasis on the latter!

• Lola : Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets / And little man, little Lola wants you!

• Mr. Applegate : I've got thousands of Washington fans drooling under the illusion that the Senators are going to win the pennant!

  Lola : Aw Chief, that's awfully good! When they lose there'll be suicides and heart attacks and apoplexy... just like the good old days!

• Mr. Applegate : I've got too much on my mind. I'm overworked.

  Lola : Oh, I know, poor dear. Elections coming up.

• Lola : Joe, would you like to take Lola some place tonight?

  Joe Hardy : Gee, I - I sure would like to but, uh, you know what Mr. Van Buren would say.

  Lola : He'd say you lucky boy.

  Joe Hardy : No, no! He'd say it's late. He likes us to get to bed early.

  Lola : Any particular place?

• Mr. Applegate : You should have seen a real artist at work! You couldn't get him away from his wife, huh? Well I could!

  Lola : How? Is he crazy about you?

• Mr. Applegate : Going a little far don't you think?

  Lola : What's the matter? Didn't ya like it?

  Mr. Applegate : I like it fine. Puff him up baby, I'll bring him down again.

  Lola : You'll what?

  Mr. Applegate : It's already started. Keep your eyes open, homewrecker. You'll find out who's got the pain in the mambo.

• Mr. Applegate : I see it all now! Ya doped me. But why? Why?

  Lola : Because I love him!

• Lola : I was the ugliest woman in Providence, Rhode Island.
