• Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : Say, is that my tie?

  Jack : Why, uh... when I got up this morning, I sort of...

  Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : Yeah, well, why didn't put on that new checkered suit of mine while you were about it?

  Jack : [chuckling]  Heh-heh-heh... It didn't fit.

• Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : Had any lunch?

  Jack : Not today.

  Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : And here's two bucks. Now, put this on Flying Feet in that third race at Churchill Downs. And here's two-bits for your lunch. Now, go on, put on the feedbag.

• Jack : Wait a minute. What do you know about this dame?

• Jack : What are you going to do about that girl? Are you running a sanatarium?

  Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : Are you still harping on that? Put on a new record.

  Jack : Haven't you had enough trouble with dames without going out and looking for it? I wouldn't trust any of 'em.

  Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : You got to admit, they're awfully nice company.

• Irene Graham : I just wanted to thank you for being so kind.

  Jack : Oh, don't thank him, lady. He loves playing St. Nick for a dame. He picks up a fallen woman every week, just to keep in practice.

  Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : Aw, don't mind him. He's rehearsing a vaudeville act. And if he lets out one more crack, I'm going to bring the curtain right down on his chin.

• Jack : Well, I'm glad to see you get rid of that ghost. That dame gave me the creeps.

  Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : Now, you'd make a great copper. You can guess more right things wrong than anybody I know.

  Jack : Well, where is she then?

  Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : In the bedroom, wise guy.

  Jack : Say, how long is this gonna last? What's the big idea? Are you going screwy?

  Nick 'The Barber' Venizelos : Why don't you button up! I'm only doing what any decent guy in the same spot would do. She'll be gone in a couple of days. And then you can be my sweetheart again, dearie.
