Quotes17

  • Schatze Page: I can't shack up with a dame I never met before and she's crazy too!
  • Pola Debevoise: You don't have to, if you don't want to. All I'm going to do is ask her to come up here. If you don't like her, that's the end of it.
  • Schatze Page: Is she class?
  • Pola Debevoise: Is she? Didn't I tell you she's been on the cover of "Harper's Bazaar" three times already?
  • Schatze Page: And she knows how to handle it?
  • Pola Debevoise: Well, let's see if she does
  • [on the phone]
  • Pola Debevoise: Loc?
  • Loco Dempsey: Yes.
  • Pola Debevoise: How much money you got?
  • Loco Dempsey: I've got a quarter.
  • Pola Debevoise: That's wonderful. Stop in on your way up here and pick up something for lunch for us.
  • Loco Dempsey: How many?
  • Pola Debevoise: Three.
  • Loco Dempsey: Okay, just as soon as I get something on.
  • [Pola hangs up the phone]
  • Schatze Page: Well there's a big contribution to a million dollar proposition. One whole quarter.
  • Pola Debevoise: Maybe, but she's awful clever with a quarter.
  • Pola Debevoise: Men aren't attentive to girls who wear glasses.
  • Loco Dempsey: I wouldn't mind marrying a Vanderbilt?
  • Pola Debevoise: Or Mr. Cadillac.
  • Schatze Page: No such person. I checked.
  • Loco Dempsey: Is there a Mr. Texaco?
  • Pola Debevoise: I want to marry Rockefeller.
  • Schatze Page: Which one?
  • Pola Debevoise: I don't care.
  • Schatze Page: I was nuts about him. Know what he did to me. First he gave me a phony name. Second, he was already married. Third, the minute the preacher said amen, he never did another tap of work. Then he stole my TV set and gave it to a car hop. When I asked him about that, he hit me with a chicken.
  • Pola Debevoise: A live chicken?
  • Schatze Page: No, a baked chicken; stuffed.
  • Loco Dempsey: I'll say this for him: we haven't ordered anything yet under five dollars a portion!
  • Pola Debevoise: If there's anything left over don't forget to tell the waiter you want to take it home for the dog.
  • Pola Debevoise: You don't think they make me look like an old maid?
  • Freddie Denmark: I've never seen anybody in my whole life that reminded me less of an old maid.
  • Freddie Denmark: I already think you're quite a strudel.
  • Pola Debevoise: Honestly?
  • Freddie Denmark: Absolutely.
  • Pola Debevoise: Why are you going to Atlantic City?
  • Freddie Denmark: Who's going to Atlantic City?
  • Pola Debevoise: Doesn't this plane go Atlantic City?
  • Pola Debevoise: He'd be holding if he could get his hands on it.
  • Schatze Page: How about one of those rich maharajas?
  • Pola Debevoise: How about three of them!
  • Loco Dempsey: Wouldn't that be wonderful if we had three of them up for dinner and they all married us.
  • Schatze Page: Think of all those diamonds and rubies.
  • Loco Dempsey: And all those *crazy* elephants.
  • J.D. Hanley: There'll be dancing and drinks and a few laughs, perhaps.
  • Pola Debevoise: Sounds just *creamy*, to me.
  • Loco Dempsey: I like laughs.
  • Loco Dempsey: Who is he?
  • Pola Debevoise: I don't know that either. But, he hasn't mentioned anything under a million dollars yet.
  • Schatze Page: My guy's real class. Never mentions his wealth, just refers to it.
  • Loco Dempsey: All Mr. Brewster talks about is what a horrible family he's got. But, I'll say this for him, we haven't ordered anything yet under $5 a portion.
  • Pola Debevoise: Go on. Tell me some more. Tell me anything.
  • Pola Debevoise: What happened to all those rich zillionaires everybody was talking about?
  • Schatze Page: Oh, what always happens to rich zillionaires.
  • Pola Debevoise: I think it's just creamy!
  • Pola Debevoise: Smooth, huh?
  • Pola Debevoise: Creamy. Are we really in?
  • Schatze Page: Built in.
