Bernice : [At a speakeasy] I can't believe this.
Lepke : You've never been in a joint like this before?
Bernice : Papa always wants to know where I'm going. He wouldn't believe it if he could see it. I mean... a place with your own key?
Lepke : I'll give you a key to the world if you want. I'll take you to places your Papa wouldn't even believe. I'll take you to the top. Miami Beach... Hollywood... how would you like that?
Bernice : You don't have to do all that for me. I'm happy just getting out of Brooklyn every once in a while.

Mr. Meyer : Come home now, darling. Please. Twice a widow in one lifetime is too much. Bernice, leave him. He is an evil man.
Bernice : I only know the part of him that lives with me and David here in these rooms. Not the man they're talking about.
Mr. Meyer : How can you live with one half of a man and pretend the rest doesn't exist?
Bernice : Why not? I'm not kidding myself. I'm not trying to defend him. If there's any good in him, that's the part I've got.
