Closeup on Ace and Stuffy in the cockpit, cut to a view of the southern tip of Manhattan, and back to the cockpit]
Ace Boreman: There she is!
'Stuffy' McInnes: [blankly] What "she" are you talkin' about? Don't tell me you see a dame this high up.

'Stuffy' McInnes: [deadpan] Oh. Well, don't put skirts on it.
Ace Boreman: I guess there'll only be one girl in your life, eh Stuffy?
'Stuffy' McInnes: [puzzled] Yeah? Who's that?
Ace Boreman: This one: Polly.
'Stuffy' McInnes: Polly's different. She can't talk back.
