• Charley Lee : You get some good horse today?

  Bill McCaffery : Sure. I got a three-horse parlay that can't lose.

  Charley Lee : No, no. No more parly. Parly keep Charley broke. You give one horse here.

  Bill McCaffery : All right. Play Honey Bunch in the first race.

  Charley Lee : Honey Brunch? You tink she win?

  Bill McCaffery : She can't lose!

• Bill McCaffery : There you go with that plumbing again, Pop. That's all I hear out of you is plumbing.

• Molly Gilbert : Oh, gee, Bill, you had me so nervous. I thought I always told you to wait upstairs. Didn't I?

  Bill McCaffery : Yeah and now I know why you told me. What do those guys get off that mauling you?

  Molly Gilbert : Oh, he wasn't mauling me. It's all in the business.

  Bill McCaffery : That's why I'm not so strong for my girl in that kind of a business.

  Molly Gilbert : We had that out once before, didn't we?

  Bill McCaffery : All I can say is if they do that with their hands over the table, what do they do with their knees under the table?

  Molly Gilbert : You would think of something like that.

• Molly Gilbert : Why, Bill, everyone's dressed in here.

  Bill McCaffery : Why, to hear you talk, you'd think we were naked.

• Pop McCaffery : What's this under the wire business got to do with you getting to that job on time?

  Bill McCaffery : Ah, keep cool, Pop. I'm way out front, huggin' the rail and breezin'.

  Pop McCaffery : Huggin' the rail and breezin' and under the wire? What kind of language is that anyway?

• Bill McCaffery : Mr. Bigsby, I don't like to bother you about that plumbing bill for a $100, but, it's way overdue.

  R.M. Bigsby, Undertaker : I'm sorry Mr. MaCaffery, but the undertaking business is in a deplorable state and it makes me very unhappy.

  Bill McCaffery : Well, maybe your prices are too stiff.

  R.M. Bigsby, Undertaker : Quite the contrary. No one will ever live the day, when they could be buried as cheaply as now.

• R.M. Bigsby, Undertaker : Thanks for calling. Don't be a stranger. I'm glad to see you lookin' so well.

  Bill McCaffery : I never felt better in my life.

  R.M. Bigsby, Undertaker : Oh, dear.

• Scotty : $50 on a 30 to 1 shot. Why, that's fifteen hundred smackers. Boy, are you hot!

  Bill McCaffery : Hot? I'm hotter than a firecracker!

• Molly Gilbert : Bill, why can't you see things my way?

  Bill McCaffery : Okay. From now on, I'll do anything you say. Come on, Molly.

  [kiss] 

• Bill McCaffery : Oh, Scotty. Will you finish this dance out for me?

  Scotty : Sure.

  Heavy Wedding Guest : I hope I'm not too heavy.

  Scotty : No. You know, you'd make a great anchor for a ship.

• Scotty : Oh, Bill, I forgot to tell you. I asked that little redhead, you know, across the hall, to come in and have a drink. You don't mind do you?

  Bill McCaffery : I don't want to listen to some chatter from some dizzy dames.

  Scotty : Well, I've already asked her in. What'll I tell her?

  Bill McCaffery : Tell her you're not dressed.

  Scotty : That won't keep her out.

• Bill McCaffery : What's wrong? Sweetheart turn the fan on you?

  Goldie Williams : What made you say that?

  Bill McCaffery : I know just how you feel. I'm in the same boat.

  Goldie Williams : You're carrying a torch too? Bigger than the one on the statue of liberty.

• Bill McCaffery : [drunkenly]  Well, the night didn't turn out to be such a bust after all, did it?

  Goldie Williams : Much better than I expected!

  Bill McCaffery : I think we better go home now. Come on, I'll take you up to the door.

  Goldie Williams : Just to the door?

  Bill McCaffery : [Bill and Goldie laugh]  There you go again. Fresh again.

  [laughs] 

• Bill McCaffery : Playing the horses is no different than, well, gambling on the stock market. It's a racket and I've got the combination.

  Pop McCaffery : Take my advice and quit while the quittin's good. Gambling's a bad business.

  Bill McCaffery : Pop, you talk just like Molly.

  Pop McCaffery : Listen, I had an uncle once who was a great card player. He owned three farms and he lost two of 'em trying to fill an inside straight; finally, he filled the inside straight and he lost the third one.

  Bill McCaffery : Well, I'll see you later Pop.

  Pop McCaffery : Where're you going?

  Bill McCaffery : I have to get a new pair of ear muffs.

• Bill McCaffery : That dame is so hard she couldn't cry if you filled a room with tear gas.

• Bill McCaffery : The next time I come into your joint, I'm gonna wear my bathing suit.

  Edward Shelton : [laughs]  That's jake with me.

• Edward Shelton : A little drink?

  Bill McCaffery : Yeah. I'll take a Bromo-Seltzer. Well, what will you have, Scotty?

  Scotty : I'll have a double Bromo-Seltzer.

• Molly Gilbert : I could give you a little kiss for that.

  Bill McCaffery : Why just a little?
