• Ann Harper : I wonder if all the family is downstairs yet?

  Betty : Well, you know the old saying, "Were there's a will, there's a lot of relatives."

• Ann Harper : How do you get into the newspapers?

  Betty : I don't. I've been lucky.

  Ann Harper : Yes, I know that. But how do you suppose I might get into the newspapers?

  Betty : First, get yourself a man. Then a reporter, and leave the rest to the typesetter.

• Betty : [singing]  I'm feeling that I'm reeling, When they strike up a band, Each rhythm has me with 'em, And I'll say that it's grand, There's only one reason, My feet want to fly, All stepping, out stepping, I'm telling you why, When music's good and hot, I start to sway a lot, And all because I've got, Loose ankles...

• Agnes : Will you be late, Miss?

  Betty : You said it! We're going to the opening of the Circus Cafe and we're going to be wild, wicked and whoopee!

• Betty : Oh! Pardon us for not knocking. Well, if it isn't Lindberg. The last time I saw you, you were flying out of a window. Have you still got your pants on backwards?

• Betty : Waiter, what's all the commotion down there?

  Circus Cafe Waiter : Oh, just a couple of drunks trying to put on a wrestling match.

  Betty : Oh, so that's the kind of a place this is.

  Circus Cafe Waiter : You never can tell.

  Betty : Says you.

  Circus Cafe Waiter : Says I.

• Andy Martin : Where is Miss Berry?

  Betty : She's in there.

  Andy Martin : Alone?

  Betty : Oh, no. She's with a dark, handsome gentleman who's trying to talk her in or out of something.

• Betty : [to Andy and Terry]  Can I drive you two cupids home?

  Andy Martin : If you promise to keep both hands on the wheel.
