- Ellen Wilson: Well, if I break loose and run around with a lot of men and get drunk, I may get a glimpse of you, occasionally, through a Gin bottle.
- Barry Greene: What's he got against you?
- Ellen Wilson: Well, I, I'm - too wild. I drink too much. Run around too much. Too many men.
- Barry Greene: What kind of men?
- Ellen Wilson: Any kind!
- Barry Greene: Why, you don't look as wild as that.
- Ellen Wilson: See me later today and you'll think so. I'm going to knock this town right off its pins.
- Hymie Schwartz: Say, what's the matter? Its so quiet around here. Ain't we supposed to be havin' some fun? Hey, Pinkie, turn on the radio and we'll make a little whoopie.
- Pinkie: Right, ol' boy, ol' boy, ol' boy, ol' boy.
- Mabel: Hey kid, wanna dance?
- Ruby Smith: Go ahead, Modesty, I bet you're still doing the minuet.
- Barry Greene: Say, I won a loving cup in Toledo last year with a Black Bottom.
- Ruby Smith: [Sarcastically] I bet your mother's proud of you.
- Ellen Wilson: I haven't any mother.
- Ruby Smith: Oh, another one of those dames without a mother. So that's our alibi. You'll be telling me next you never had a chance.
- Walter: And listen, I don't want to hear no unfamiliar noises in the night.
- Ruby Smith: What kind of noises are you familiar with, dear?
- Joe: Why do I take such chances?
- Hymie Schwartz: Oh, we can't lose. The guy that wired me - *owns* the horse. He sleeps with him!
- Walter: A man sleeping with a horse, don't prove nothin', mister!
- Hymie Schwartz: You ought to know. Yeah, you ought to know.
- Al - Room Service Waiter: I'll have the operator phone you when the race is over; but, I'm tellin' you a horse with a name like 'Bashful Bridegroom' ain't got a chance.
- Ruby Smith: He changed my evening stroll from an exercise to - to an occupation. Does that filter through?
- Ruby Smith: On his last trip to Detroit, I walk in on him and a blonde - bleary blonde at that. I ordered her out and she laughed. I told him to put her out and he laughed. And in the end they tossed me out like last night's bottles.
- Ruby Smith: Nobody was ever crazy about each other like Ben and me. Sometimes - it was kinda spiritual.
- Dan Murphy - House Detective: Alright, you better go now. The boys have to get some rest so they can work tomorrow. If they don't sell goods, they don't eat.
- Ruby Smith: Yep. Me too. So long, suckers.
