Quotes
-
Masher in Dance Hall : I've got a right to dance and you got to dance with me. I paid for it!
Shirley Day : Yeah, you paid a dime with your feet, not your hands.
-
John Allen : Do you girls have to dance with everybody who has a ticket?
Shirley Day : Why not?
John Allen : Well, it must be sort of tough lettin' every guy paw you.
Shirley Day : They don't paw me! Not if they know what's good for 'em.
-
Shirley Day : What do you do for a living?
John Allen : Well, I'm a riveter.
Shirley Day : Oh, that's where you get such a big muscle, ain't it. You make good money at it too, don't you?
John Allen : Sixty-two fifty per!
Shirley Day : Boy! You and Rockefeller!
-
John Allen : I think education is the biggest thing in the world.
Shirley Day : Oh, not that I'm against education. I got a good one myself.
John Allen : You have?
Shirley Day : Yeah. I went a year to high school.
-
Shirley Day : Well, I'm through strugglin'. See! I'm at the end of my rope and I don't want to hang; so, I'm haulin' in. Get the idea?
-
John Allen : I don't know what keeps me from killing you.
Shirley Day : If you did, the goose would stop layin' the golden eggs!
-
Shirley Day : [Getting ready to leave for the dance hall in a tight-fitting dress] Well, Big Boy, what do I look like now?
John Allen : [Contemptuously] Just like what you are!
-
Shirley Day : Say, big boy, you sure are a swell little hoofer.
John Allen : You ain't so bad, yourself.
-
Shirley Day : Fresh guy, huh!
[slaps Masher]
Masher in Dance Hall : Heh!
Tony : What's the matter here? What's the matter?
Masher in Dance Hall : You try it again and I'll break your neck!
Tony : More trouble!
Shirley Day : Just because he paid a dime to dance with me, he thinks that entitles him to privileges!
Masher in Dance Hall : Aw, who wants any privileges with you? A dime would be too much for a bimbo like you!
-
John Allen : That's what's the trouble with your job. You know, it makes a guy think you're - well, what he said you were. You hadn't ought to work there any more.
Shirley Day : I don't.
John Allen : Gee and it was my fault you got canned.
Shirley Day : Oh, no! Nothing would have happened if I hadn't slapped him myself. But, then, I couldn't let him play around with me that way, could I?
John Allen : No! Not if you're decent.
Shirley Day : Well, that's one thing I am! I may work in a tough joint, but everybody that knows me, knows I'm on the level.
John Allen : Well, that's the only way for a girl to be.
-
Shirley Day : I'll speak to Tony myself. I'm sure he'll take me on again.
John Allen : Oh, no, no. Say, that would give all those fellas a chance to get fresh with you again.
Shirley Day : It'll only be for a short time.
John Allen : It sure is tough on a pretty girl, ain't it.
Shirley Day : You really think I'm pretty?
John Allen : Why, yeah.
Shirley Day : I'm glad you think so.
-
Shirley Day : I know you don't care a rack about me.
John Allen : [drunkenly] Sure I do, Shirley. I like you a whole lot! I said I did.
Shirley Day : You never kiss me.
John Allen : Well, I did. Just awhile ago.
Shirley Day : Oh, I don't mean like that. I mean kiss me because you must do it! Because you can't keep yourself back! Because your whole insides burn up just for me.
John Allen : Oh, shucks, Shirley.
Shirley Day : That's how I am with you.
[passionate kiss]
-
Bud Clark : I ain't gonna let you pull the old Army game on him!
Shirley Day : Oh, who's pullin' the Army game?
Bud Clark : You are and you know it! You got him drunk so's he'd get all hot over you. Now, you're framing him to marry ya!
Shirley Day : I don't have to frame anything, Mr. Wise Guy. We're married already.
-
John Allen : Now, see here! I ain't standin' for this any longer. I stood for you payin' the rent because I couldn't help myself. But, if you go out with them things on, advertise what you brought me to, you can stay out!
Shirley Day : You got it backwards, big boy! I'm feedin' the kitty now! See!
John Allen : There ain't anybody gonna bring that kinda money into this house.
Shirley Day : Aw, that kind of money. Since when did you begin to examine a dollar to see who its father was?
-
John Allen : Oh, why do you want to stay here for, when you're doin' so well by yourself?
Shirley Day : I found out that a Mrs. can get away with things that a Miss can't! That's why the girls all look up to me and try to get tips on how I do it.
-
Shirley Day : Don't make me laugh. It'll crack my lips.
-
Shirley Day : [Condescendingly to John] Here's a buck in case you run out of cigarettes or something.
-
Bud Clark : John. John!
John Allen : [drunkenly] What's the matter now?
Bud Clark : Did you let this dirty little egg rope you in?
Shirley Day : Hey! That's no way to talk about his wife.
Bud Clark : You filthy little rat you!
John Allen : What's the matter now?
