- Dutch Muller: [showing his bride Hattie his place] It's genuine artificial roses. They never wear out!
- Dutch Muller: [lifting the fox that Hattie is wearing around her neck, given to her by Nick] Where did you get the skunk?
- Hattie: [outraged] Skunk!
- Dutch Muller: Shove off!
- [pushes Hattie to the ground]
- Hattie: Why, you dirty woman beater!
- Lil: Gee, Hattie, are you hurt?
- [to Dutch]
- Lil: You beast!
- Hattie: That big ape couldn't hurt me.
- [rubbing her behind]
- Hattie: You gonna give me the air?
- Nick Lewis: Who, me? Oh, no! Nick only give you something what you like.
- Nick Lewis: Hattie, you got what drives Nick cuckoo. Don't he never do nothing you want him for to do?
- Hattie: [to Nick] Come on. Why waste time with this riffraff?
- Dutch Muller: Look who's calling me riffraff? That cheap little tuna tinner, tryin' to red apple on the boss.
- Hattie: Yeah, well it looks to me like them red apples is sour grapes to you!
- Dutch Muller: Come on, honey, wet that whistle.
- Hattie: Why should I?
- Dutch Muller: Cause, you sweetness, I asked you to. Come on.
- Dutch Muller: [dancing] That's swell stink-up you got in your hair.
- Hattie: Like it?
- Dutch Muller: You know, this is hard to take.
- Dutch Muller: [Hattie kicks Dutch] Ow! You little mule. Go on. Go on, keep it up. I love it. I love dames with spirit! Dames and fishes!
- Hattie: Take your hands off of me! Let me go!
- Dutch Muller: Oh, now, you ain't really gonna get sore at me, are you honey?
- Hattie: You bet I am!
- Hattie: Them was the only furs I ever had.
- Dutch Muller: Aw, you don't have to take nothin' from that big ape. You know, there's other guys can buy you furs, if they wanna.
- Hattie: Yeah, well, I don't see 'em doin' it.
- Dutch Muller: You know, I know a lot of dames who would rather have a guy's arms around 'em, keepin' 'em warm. Sure, anybody can buy a dame a fur piece.
- Dutch Muller: What did you come here for anyway?
- Jimmy: We was going to the zoo; but, this was nearer!
- Nick Lewis: Mr. Markis, what for is de matter with me?
- Markis: I don't know, Mr. Lewis. Maybe it's the goose grease.
- Lil: What did Dutch Muller say?
- Hattie: That false alarm, if he'd come near the place they'd a turn the hose on him.
- Lil: He's going out with the fleet this morning for tuna.
- Hattie: Yeah, I know. I'm gonna throw my arms around his neck with my head on his shoulder and tell him to go jump down a whale.
- Lil: It makes you feel better, don't it honey, runnin' a guy down when you're stuck on him.
- Hattie: Who? Dutch Muller? The "Big I Am"? I don't mean nuthin' to him and he means less to me. So, that makes us both happy.
- Nick Lewis: Hattie, you're smart girl. You know Dutch is no good for a swell baby doll like you! But, honey, you got what it takes for Nick. He like to do something nice for you.
- Hattie: What are you workin' up to?
- Nick Lewis: Oh, no, no, no. Don't catch me on the wrong side up. Nick just want for to send you to night school. Make you his private stenographer. Then, you work in nice, clean office.
- Hattie: No thanks, Nick. I'll stick to the fishes. They ain't got hands.
- Hattie: I got to be goin'.
- Dutch Muller: Aw, you ain't goin' no place. That stink-up is drivin' me screwy. Want to slip me a little kiss?
- [long kiss]
- Dutch Muller: Looks like you and me been wastin' a lot of time.
- Hattie: Yeah. Well, it's takin' you a long while to find that out.
- Dutch Muller: [kiss] Who you gonna marry now? Who you gonna marry now?
- Hattie: Dutch?
- Dutch Muller: Yeah, you're gonna marry me, ain't ya?
- Hattie: Dutch! Oh, Dutch!
- [kiss]
- Dutch Muller: What are you blubberin' about?
- Hattie: I can't help it. I've been crazy about you all my life. My whole life!
- Dutch Muller: Did you think I didn't know it?
- Hattie: We ain't never gonna fight any more are we?
- Dutch Muller: I'll say we ain't! Come on, shut off the tears, baby!
- Dutch Muller: Well, I tell ya, honey, it's like this with me, I always sort of sidestepped gettin' tied down. I seen too many guys that were goin' along great, get saddled with a wife, pretty soon kids come along. Yeah, then the first thing you know the guy's nose is chained to the grindstone and the jig is up! They lose their, their, what do you call it? Their personality. Yeah, that's it. You get me?
- Dutch Muller: You brought me luck tonight. I don't know why you shouldn't keep right on doin' it.
- Hattie: I see. So, that's the reason, huh?
- Dutch Muller: Yeah! You're gonna do all right with me. Come on, slip us a little kiss.
- [Hattie slaps him instead]
- Dutch Muller: Hey, what's the idea?
- Hattie: What a big swell headed lug! What do ya think I am? Just an old rabbit's foot to bring you luck?
- Dutch Muller: Well, sure. Why not?
- Hattie: I don't have to marry you nor no other guy to bring him luck. There's plenty of 'em goofy about me!
- Dutch Muller: Oh, I see. You've been readin' them 'True Love Confession' magazines, huh? You want one of them oily guys that drools at the mouth. Say, listen, I don't ever get gabby about the way I feel and I do all right!
- Hattie: You let go of me, Dutch Muller!
- Dutch Muller: Aw, quit your kiddin'. You know you love it!
- Hattie: Take your hands off of me! I hate the touch of ya!
- Dutch Muller: Oh, I suppose you like the touch of that dressed up can of tuna, huh?
- Mrs. McCall: [at Dutch and Hattie's wedding] Oh, Hattie's a dear girl. You're both so lucky, Dutch.
- Dutch Muller: Thank you, Mrs. McCall. It's a great break for Hattie; but, she's a good little kid. She deserves it.
- Dutch Muller: Don't tell me you're sore?
- Hattie Muller: [sarcastically] Sore. Why should I be so when you call a strike in honor of our weddin'?
- Dutch Muller: Oh, come on, Squirt. Don't worry about the strike. Let me worry about it. That's my business. You just look after your wifely duties.
- [kiss]
- Dutch Muller: Take off your clothes, Mrs. Muller, and stay awhile.
- Hattie Muller: I didn't want to hurt you.
- Dutch Muller: You didn't want to hurt me? You talk as if they licked me!
- 'Brains' McCall: You can't get along without the Union. Come on, take the bitter with the sweet. Don't make it so hard for yourself. Come on back to work with us.
- 'Brains' McCall: Cool down, now, Dutch. A smart guy knows when the game is over. You're coming back to work with us.
- Dutch Muller: Back to work, back to work. Are you still peddlin' that fish?
- Dutch Muller: What's the use of kiddin' ourselves. You and me ain't gonna pull off no revolution and you know it.
- Lew: Let's get outta here. Look, Dutch. I've got a date with a swell Mama tonight. Here's the address. You go on and keep it, will ya? She'll be crazy about you.
