Quotes 

• Caravan Club Waiter : [at the Caravan Club Morley is at the table while Holmes dances with Patsy]  Fresh drink, sir?

  Sam Morley : Yes, a double. And, waiter...

  [takes out some money] 

  Sam Morley : here's ten dollars for your trouble. Go to the dance floor and tell Mr. Holmes he's wanted on the phone.

  Caravan Club Waiter : Sorry, sir. Mr. Holmes gave me twenty dollars *not* to call him to the phone. Anything else, sir?

  Sam Morley : [puts money back]  A sharp knife.

• Sam Morley : Get your book out. I'll write a letter to Pritchard.

  Peggy : It's Wednesday, Mr. Morley. I have a date at the Marriage License Bureau.

  Sam Morley : Peggy, do you have to get married?

  Peggy : Well, I've been waiting years for you to propose and nary a sign of it. Comes a time when a girl wants a breadwinner. It's a basic instinct.

• Sam Morley : Look at these bills! Every restaurant and cafe in New York. Champagne! Caviar!

  Barry Holmes : I get strange whims. Maybe it has something to do with my suddenly becoming 'a father.'

  Sam Morley : Look at these bills for flowers. Where do you two go? Funerals?

  Barry Holmes : Look, Sam. You laid out the whole campaign. She has to be courted... pursued.

  Sam Morley : Barry, I don't like this!

  Barry Holmes : Why not? It's working like a dream. Baxter's attorneys are drawing up the contracts.

  Sam Morley : And then what?

  Barry Holmes : Then what what?

  Sam Morley : You know very well what...

  Barry Holmes : What?

  Sam Morley : ...What. You and Patsy, that's what.

  Barry Holmes : Oh, you're jealous.

  Sam Morley : Jealous? Heh. That's ridiculous.

  Barry Holmes : Yeah, of course.

  Sam Morley : Why the whole scheme was my idea!

  Barry Holmes : Exactly. Baxter calls up twice a day to check on me. If I stop courting her now, we'll really be in the soup.

  Sam Morley : [pause]  Well, uh, keep up the good work.

  Barry Holmes : You can count on me, chief.

  Sam Morley : Are you, uh, gonna take her out tonight?

  Barry Holmes : I thought I'd better, don't you?

  Sam Morley : Oh, sure, sure. Uh, where do you plan on going?

  Barry Holmes : Oh, I thought El Morocco.

  Sam Morley : El Morocco, eh? Well, have fun.

  Barry Holmes : Thanks, chief.

  [Morley leaves and Barry buzzes his secretary] 

  Barry Holmes : Cancel my table at El Morocco and get me one at the Caravan, won't you?
