Quotes 

• Jonesy : I'll never forgive you.

  Ronnie Bowers : For what?

  Jonesy : [referring to Alexander Dupre]  For not blacking both his eyes.

• Virginia : [on the stage at the Hollywood Bowl]  Yoo-hoo! Can you hear me?

  Ronnie Bowers : [standing at the top of the hill]  I can hear you, but I can hardly see you!

  Virginia : I can see you! You look like the man in the moon!

• Ronnie Bowers : Thanks. Thanks, gang. Gee, Benny, it's swell of you to come and give me this send off. You got me kinda homesick before I leave.

  Benny Goodman : Oh, forget it, kid.

• Ronnie Bowers : I'm gonna miss you kids.

  Alice : Say, you're gonna be so busy running around with those picture stars that you won't have time to miss anybody.

  Ronnie Bowers : Yes, I will too.

  Georgia : Ah, what a life. Just fallin' in and out of swimmin' pools.

• Ronnie Bowers : I'll stick around the hotel here until I get a call from the studio.

  Bernie Walton : Just relax. You're on salary.

• Bernie Walton : I've got to interview a horse. We just signed him up for the lead in a Western.

  Ronnie Bowers : What are you gonna say to a horse?

  Bernie Walton : I don't know yet. He's an Arabian horse. But, they'll have an interpreter there.

• Virginia : [disguised as Mona Marshall]  The excitement of the premiere has made me more tired and nervous than I realized.

  Ronnie Bowers : Well, you must be tired. I never thought of that. Is there some place that you can go and rest and, well, I can kinda look at you.

• Ronnie Bowers : I'll never forget tonight.

  Virginia : [disguised as Mona Marshall]  Why?

  Ronnie Bowers : Oh, it's my first night in Hollywood, being with you, especially, being with you. It just doesn't seem real.

  Virginia : Maybe it isn't.

  Ronnie Bowers : Oh, it is with me. You don't know it, but, I've made love with you many times. I-I-I don't mean real making love, Miss Marshall. I mean, you know, like when people watch a picture show they always put themselves in the actor's place.

  Virginia : And now you are in the actor's place.

• Ronnie Bowers : Gosh, you're a big celebrity. You're beautiful. You're glamorous. You've got swell teeth!

• Ronnie Bowers : This is all pretty exciting. I don't know what to say. It's my first day in Hollywood and I feel that maybe...

  Radio Host at Premiere : That was Ronnie Bowers, ladies and gentlemen, and now I see a great many more celebrities coming down here. I'm going to try to get some of them up to the microphone to say hello to you. I'm sure you're going to want to meet all of them.

• Virginia : [singing]  I feel all wet and it's no wonder I do

  Ronnie Bowers : That's how I get when I'm with you...

• Ronnie Bowers : Oh! Then it was Mona Marshall who slapped me.

  Bernie Walton : Oh, it wasn't Joe Lewis.

  Ronnie Bowers : It felt like it.

  Bernie Walton : Oh, well. All's fair in love and war and the publicity department.

• Ronnie Bowers : You promised to show me the town. I haven't seen anything yet.

  Virginia : Where were you when I pointed out the Cocoanut Grove, the Trocadero, and the Brown Derby?

  Ronnie Bowers : I was lookin' at you.

• Fuzzy : This is an out-and-out stick up. What's the matter with you?

  Ronnie Bowers : Well, what if it is? The worm has turned.

• Ronnie Bowers : Look, you were right and I was wrong. Nobody likes to admit his girl has more sense than he has.

  Virginia : Oh, I'm too smart to ever let you admit that now.
