- Lilli Marlowe: Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed I'd meet a drunken slob in a bar who'd give me fifty bucks and we'd live happily ever after.
- Cal Bruner: Sorry to break it up on you.
- Lilli Marlowe: Well, too bad. First time I ever lost a man to a man. That was fun while it lasted.
- Cal Bruner: [Questioning Lilli about a hot $50 bill] Where'd you get the $50?
- Lilli Marlowe: You know, I've seen all this on "Dragnet".
- Cal Bruner: Save the jokes for the customers.
- Cal Bruner: You ever been married?
- Lilli Marlowe: Yeah, I tried it once, when I was 18.
- Cal Bruner: Well?
- Lilli Marlowe: Ah, he was a great guy, broke, never sober. One day he went on the wagon, took a look at me and thought I was his first wife.
- Jack Farnham: What do we look for now?
