• Roxie Hart : [after they kiss]  Listen, sweetie pie. I'll tell you a secret. Any old time the going gets too tough, all I have to do is just say one word and I'm out. Just one word, that's all. So you needn't worry.

  Homer Howard : I'm so happy. Is there anything I can do for you?

  Roxie Hart : Yeah, go find Benham, that agent guy, and tell 'em I want some action.

  Homer Howard : Right away.

  Roxie Hart : A proposition like this, you got to keep it boiling, something new all the time. When ya got your whole future tied up in it, you gotta grab it by the horn and hit it while it's hot.

• Homer Howard : [Dancing with Roxie]  Mrs. Hart, I think you're just wonderful.

  Roxie Hart : [Hard to hear him]  What?

  Homer Howard : I know you didn't do it. I just know it.

  Roxie Hart : Why, you're a sweetie pie to say that... but if you print it, I'll wrap a chair around your neck.

• Homer Howard : Mr. Callahan? I've just seen Finnegan, the janitor.

  Jake Callahan : What janitor?

  Homer Howard : At the apartment house. And from what he says, she didn't do it!

  Jake Callahan : Ssh! Are you cra... ? Are you nuts? What are you trying to do, kill a story? Listen, you're supposed to be a newspaperman and not a detective. You understand? You're supposed to build up a story, not tear it down.

  [He grabs Homer's notes] 

  Jake Callahan : Give me that. Never scare me like that again!
