Quotes 

• Louis Jarvis : You know, if I could stop looking at you long enough and think clearly, I might be able to ask you what you're doing in New York - what you're working at.

  Honey Carter : Well, if working is looking for a job, then I'm hard at work.

  Louis Jarvis : No luck?

  Honey Carter : Almost a month now. I was beginning to get a little desperate. That's how I decided to parade around in a bathing suit.

  Louis Jarvis : And a nice parader, too, if I may say so.

• Louis Jarvis : Well, what do you know. You don't fit the measurements, but, you'd get my vote for Miss Broadway.

  Honey Carter : Thank you.

  Louis Jarvis : Oh, you look familiar.

  Honey Carter : Well, since I ought to, I guess I can't say you're gettin' fresh.

• Sam Adams : What took you so long to get here?

  Honey Carter : Well, I don't particularly like walking around in bathing suits. But, when you have to eat everyday, I guess you have to forget a few things your mother told you.
