  Millie De Grasse : My dream man! I'm gonna meet him in person. And I warn you, if he makes one false move, I'm his!

  Dorothy March : I suppose you think it'll do you a lot of good to throw yourself at him.

  Millie De Grasse : Throw myself at him? If I thought it would do any good, I'd have myself shot at him out of a cannon!

• Dorothy March : This is Millicent De Grasse.

  Brooks Mason : How do you do, Miss De Grasse?

  Millie De Grasse : Oh, just call me Millie and cut De Grasse.

• Millie De Grasse : I don't think my boyfriend likes me any more.

  Dorothy March : Oh, so you found a friend already?

  Millie De Grasse : Well, he's not exactly a friend. I met him in the elevator. He said, "Where you going tonight, girlie?" And I said, "Third floor." And he said, "How about going downstairs for a bite?" So, we went downstairs and I bit him.

• Dorothy March : There are plenty of other fish in the sea.

  Millie De Grasse : Well, that may be all right for you, but, I'm not the babe I used to be.

  Brooks Mason : I am telling you the truth!

  Dorothy March : I don't believe you.

• Dorothy March : If George Smith is engaged to Cecilia and Brooks Mason is engaged to Gale Brewster, couldn't you be Joe Doakes or Simple Simon or, maybe, eh, Pâté de Foie Gras. I really don't care who you are. Please don't annoy me anymore.

• [Movie star Brooks Mason, played by Robert Taylor, is impersonating George Smith, a businessman, while romancing Dorothy March, a dancer] 

  Brooks Mason : I'm afraid it wouldn't work. In a few weeks, you'll be going back to the mainland, along with your dancing, your career. I'll be left here with a memory and a few pineapples.

  Dorothy March : We'll work it out some way, darling.

  Brooks Mason : But it would be so much better if I were an actor. Someone in your business. For example, someone like Robert Taylor, or uh... maybe Brooks Mason.

  Dorothy March : No. No, I wouldn't care for Brooks Mason.
