J.D. Hanley
- J.D. Hanley: [on why Schatze stopped their wedding] There was a last minute decision in your favor.
- Tom Brookman: Did you tell her about me?
- J.D. Hanley: No. So far as she knows you're still hustling a gas pump.
- Tom Brookman: Are you kidding?
- J.D. Hanley: Well let's go ask her.
- Tom Brookman: Wait a minute JD! Do you think I ought to tell her?
- J.D. Hanley: Are you nuts? She clearly prefers gas pump jockeys to millionaires. What do you want to do? Disillusion the poor girl?
- Schatze Page: Has he got on a tie?
- J.D. Hanley: No tie.
- Schatze Page: And at a formal ceremony! You see what I mean?
- J.D. Hanley: De gustibus non est disputandum.
- Schatze Page: Well, you can certainly say that again.
- J.D. Hanley: That's just one of the few advantages of age. Disappointments become a normal part of life.
- 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.
- J.D. Hanley: There's quite a party of us up from Texas.
- Schatze Page: All men?
- J.D. Hanley: Oh, some wives too. You met some of them this evening. The others went to a show. You know how the women are when they get to New York.
- Schatze Page: I know.
