• Andy : Good morning, Miss Dora.

  Dora : Good morning, Teacher. The usual?

  Andy : Oh, sure. Four donuts and a cup of coffee.

  Dora : Don't you ever want anything else?

  Andy : Not so long as they're your donuts.

  Dora : Flatterer. Sometimes I think you like to pay me compliments.

  Andy : [laughing]  I do?

• Andy : Dora, you'd make a fine wife for some man.

  Dora : You think so?

  Andy : Oh, sure you would. Did you ever think of, ah, getting married?

  Dora : Oh, yes, but the right man's never asked me.

• Dora : Andy! At last I've found the way to make a perfect donut!

  Andy : What? Better even than the ones you have been making?

  Dora : Taste one. How do you like it?

  Andy : Dora, there never was a donut like that. Dora, if you advertized on the radio, you'd make a fortune.

  Dora : But think of the cost? How about the actors?

• Andy : Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to introduce Dora's Dunking Donuts. Remember that name, folks. They're baked by Miss Dora herself. Are you listening, Dora?

  Dora : Yes, Andy! I'm listening!

  Andy : [singing]  Dora's Dunking Donuts, they are the rage of the land. / No cookie, cake, or candy could taste so fine and dandy./ With Dora's Dunking Donuts, you'll be nuts about her donuts. / You'll dunk 'em in your coffee, or any old drink, you'll dunk 'em day and dunk 'em night and still they won't sink!

• Radio station manager : Miss Dora, I had no idea the program was such a success until after I'd thrown Mr. Wilson out.

  Dora : Success? Why, we're swamped with orders!

  Radio station manager : But to make amends, I'd like to hire Mr. Wilson and your donut program three times a month. Will you sign here?

• Dora : How did you ever think it up, Andy?
