Mary Astor: Mary Gray - aka Sally Fairchild

Quotes 

• Mary Gray - aka Sally Fairchild : Dick, wait. You don't want to be a playboy all your life. I thought you wanted to do something. You said you did.

  Richard 'Dick' Mercer : I do. I want to travel and have a good time. I want to see a lot of places I've heard about in Paris. I want to go to a harem in Constantinople. I want to do lots of things.

• George Edward Blaine : So, are you taking up cooking as a career?

  Mary Gray - aka Sally Fairchild : Yes. You see, well, I tried working in department stores. But, it's so hard living on 20 a week.

• Mary Gray - aka Sally Fairchild : I think you'd be a lot happier if you got a job.

  Richard 'Dick' Mercer : Oh, you do? Well, I don't want to be a lot happier. I'm happy enough. I suppose you'd like me to be a bond salesman, like all the rest of the tramps in our crowd? All they do is sell themselves and their relatives enough bonds to hold their jobs. And you call that being a "big businessman"!

  Mary Gray - aka Sally Fairchild : Well, you can jeer, but I haven't got any respect for a man who doesn't work at something - even if it's only fish peddling.

  Richard 'Dick' Mercer : Oh, you'd like to make a fish peddler of me!

  Mary Gray - aka Sally Fairchild : I suppose you think you're too good?

  Richard 'Dick' Mercer : I most certainly do!
