Helen Broderick: Mrs. Gwen Mayen

Quotes 

• Young model : What's the matter with her? She's too ritzy for chili?

  Gwen : I don't know, maybe it's too chilly for the Ritz.

• Dick Smith : Glad to know you. My name's Smith.

  Gwen : I knew there was something different about you.

  Dick Smith : I'll let you in on a secret. I use Honeysuckle Mouthwash, that kissable preparation.

  Gwen : What an optimist.

• Gwen : Well, that's all for today, Sonny. You can either go through the door or the window. 'Course, the window has its points. You get a little glimpse of the Hudson as you pass the 39th floor.

• Lucius Philbean - Dick's Valet : How much emolument are you in the habit of receiving?

  Gwen : Well, she doesn't stand for much of it!

• Gwen : What a screwy outfit. Everybody that works for it!

  [taps on the blinds where Smith is hiding] 

  Gwen : That goes for you too, Smitty!

• Gwen : What's wrong with him?

  Gwen : Oh, there's nothing wrong with him, and there's nothing right with him. He's a foreigner. I don't understand him, and he's a bore.

• Gwen : Oh, what difference does it make what he collects, so long as he has the habit? You can get him to collect furs, emeralds, diamonds just as easy.

• Frances 'Cookie' Cooke : Oh, gee, Gwen. I wish I could wear this dress out tonight.

  Gwen : Well, why don't you? Your boss'll never know. He's too full of emolument.

• Gwen : Well, you keep your hands for other things. Honest toil never gave anybody that skin you like to photograph.

• Gwen : [Hearing the telephone ring]  Ooow, somebody's calling.

  Frances 'Cookie' Cooke : Ooow, goodie.

• Frances 'Cookie' Cooke : Besides, I don't go out with guys that earn seven fifty and day - some days.

  Gwen : Hmmm, but in the end you'll run true to form. Some big slug'll come along that needs mothering, and you'll wake up one morning and find you've taken on the job for life.

• Dick Smith : Say, I'm no cripple.

  Gwen : Well, you stand an awfully good chance of making it, if you don't scram.

• Dick Smith : Anyone ever tell you you'd look swell across a breakfast table?

  Gwen : Yeees, and I laughed so hard I fell right off my tricycle.

• Gwen : Now, wadda you want?

  Terry - Gwen's Husband : Please come back. I just can't stand bein' without you.

  Gwen : And I can't stand being with you.

• Gwen : So run away, both of you.

  Dick Smith : What? Run away with a strange man?
