Quotes 

  • Hoatley : Nice work, kid. You kept your head. You're a real carny, no mistake.

    Molly : You ought to have heard Stan spout the gospel to that old hypocrite. It was like being in Sunday school.

    Zeena Krumbein : You must have been raised pretty religious.

    Stanton Carlisle : Yeah, in a county orphanage.

    Molly : Didn't you have any folks?

    Stanton Carlisle : If I did, they weren't much interested.

    Zeena Krumbein : Where'd you learn all this gospel?

    Stanton Carlisle : In the orphanage. That's what they used to give us on Sunday after beating us black-and-blue all week. Then when I ran away, they threw me in the reform school. But that's where I got wise to myself. I let the chaplain save me, and got a parole in no time. Boy, how I went for salvation! Comes in kind of handy when you're in a jam.

  • Molly : Wait a minute mister, you're not talking to one of your chumps. You're talking to your wife! You're talking to somebody who knows you red, white and blue. And you can't fool me anymore.

  • Stanton Carlisle : Zenna's going good. She sure knows how to put on an act.

    Molly : Sure does.

    Stanton Carlisle : Too bad she's tied up with that rum-dum.

    Molly : Why?

    Stanton Carlisle : Well she could grab herself a smart guy and make the big time in no time.

    Molly : But she's already been in the big time. She and Pete used to be one of the biggest headliners in vaudeville.

  • Molly : What's the matter, darling? What's happened to you?

    Stanton Carlisle : A lot of things, baby. A lot of things. Zeena wasn't so far off after all. Zeena and her boob-catchers.

  • Stanton Carlisle : Come on, you lovely little freak.

    Molly : [laughs]  Thanks for the pop, Stan.

    Stanton Carlisle : Next time I'll bring you a Kewpie doll.

  • Molly : Look, Bruno. I'm no baby. I can take care of myself. And when I'm talking to somebody, I wish you wouldn't come butting in like that.

  • Stanton Carlisle : Are you crazy?

    Molly : No, I'm not crazy. Just plain scared.

    Stanton Carlisle : Scared?

  • Molly : Wait a minute, Mister. You're not talking to one of your chumps. You're talking to your wife. You're talking to somebody who knows you red, white and blue. And you can't fool me anymore.
