- Bill Abbott: Now listen cutie-pie. I'm a big, bad trumpet player, and never in my life have I seen anything so gorgeous coming off a dance floor. I've seen thousands. I've kissed some of them, but not like I'm going to kiss you.
- Connie Ward: Now, please...
- [long kiss]
- Bill Abbott: Do you carry a battery?
- Connie Ward: What?
- Bill Abbott: Something made my heels tingle.
- Ben Beck: [as Bill Abbott approaches yet another pretty girl] There he goes. Out of the frying pan, into the frying pan!
- Cully Anderson: That man's a solid sender!
- Connie Ward: That's Bill Abbot.
- Cully Anderson: Yeah, when he gets ridin' on that go-toy the cats really start flyin'.
- Bill Abbott: You fellas are crazy. You were crazy to get married. Now, companionship is all right; but, there's no point in carrying it to an extreme.
- Band Singer: We heard that. You can't knock marriage to us. We're happy even when we're on tour.
- Band Vocalist: Happier. We don't have your mother with us.
- Band Vocalist: [singing] At last, my love has come along
- Jaynie Stevens: My lonely days are over, And life is like a song...
- Gene Morrison: It isn't the carriage trade that pays our salaries, boys. It's those kids that put those nickels in the jukeboxes all over the country.
- Cully Anderson: So, you wanna be sore at me, huh? So, I got a little fresh last night. So what?
- Connie Ward: So, shut up!
- Cully Anderson: So, I'm sorry. You were so darn cute, Connie. I got carried away.
- Connie Ward: You would have been if you'd gone any farther.
- Sinjin: This is the first time I ever saw a canary who looked like she swallowed a canary.
- Bill Abbott: Or a cat who looked like she swallowed another cat.
- Jaynie Stevens: I'll take the starch out of you.
- Dr. Ward: Henry, that heart will last you as long as you live.
- Henry Fink: It will? Swell, Doc. But, how long will I live?
- Rex Willet: What sort of fella is this - trumpet player?
- Cully Anderson: Oh, he's tall and good looking and when he plays - mmm - the shivers go up and down your back.
- Rex Willet: Really? Some trumpet player.
- Gene Morrison: Sinjin, where have you been?
- Sinjin: I was a bridesmaid.
- Gene Morrison: Ah, that's not funny. Where's Bill?
- Sinjin: He was a bride.
- Rex Willet: You know, Connie, like I just said to Henry: you start listening, you can hear anything you want.
- Bill Abbott: That's one of the things I like about you. You look at things like a man.
- Jaynie Stevens: Oh, don't tell anybody. I'm considered very feminine. Well, man to man, old boy, how did this happen?
- Bill Abbott: Well, I kissed her, strictly in passing, when the smoke cleared, I was knee deep in orange blossoms.
- Bill Abbott: Have you told your little bride *everything*?
- Bill Abbott: Everything?
- Natalie Mercer: Well, I mean the way you gamble and browse and things.
- Bill Abbott: Why, I wouldn't think of stealing your thunder. You're going to want something to talk about.
- Bill Abbott: How'd you ever find this place, anyway?
- Connie Ward: Just by inquiring. By trying to find out if there weren't other restaurants to eat in besides all night chop suey places.
- Bill Abbott: It's a pretty topsy-turvy life for you, isn't it?
- Connie Ward: Oh, it was a little bit bewildering the first few days, but, when you love anyone as much as I love you, you're topsy-turvy anyway.
- Bill Abbott: What a lucky mug I am to get a gal like you.
- Jaynie Stevens: [to Connie, wearing Jaynie's nightgown] Say, I never dreamed my nightgown would look like that!
- Natalie Mercer: Mr. William Abbot's fast work *begins* to make sense.
- Connie Ward: I didn't have any intention on getting married. I didn't even plan to stay over night.
- Elsie: Well, they do sort of go together, don't they?
- Connie Ward: Caroline and Natalie - why, they seem so close?
- Elsie: Well, you gotta get close to somebody to knife 'em, honey.
- Natalie Mercer: Naturally, when it comes to stealing a husband, it's always the wife's best friend who gets him.
- Elsie: Aren't you afraid Phil might get out of line while he's away?
- Natalie Mercer: Oh, he'll be flirting with every little filly he sees. After all, there are only three of these side trips on the tour. He looks forward to them like a kid does to Christmas. I think it's good for him to get away. He's *such* a worm.
- Natalie Mercer: Well, Jaynie, I never thought you were the kind of a filly who would weaken in the stretch.
- Jaynie Stevens: I don't know *what* you're talking about - but, I'm sure its indelicate.
- Natalie Mercer: [to Connie] You're very lucky. Jaynie always goes prepared for a honeymoon.
- Jaynie Stevens: Well, we single girls have to keep on our toes, you know.
- Jaynie Stevens: I'm hungry. Would I be playing the game if I asked you to take me out and buy me some chop suey?
- Bill Abbott: Well, I guess it's all right. Hey, you don't know a place in town where we can get some nice chicken pot pie, do you?
- Jaynie Stevens: Chicken pot pie? Are you going soft on us?
- Bill Abbott: Okay, chop suey.
- Elsie: No man can be trusted out of gun shot. If you want to be sure of yourself and you're married to a musician, you gotta sing with the band. Then, you can watch him day and night.
- Natalie Mercer: Phil always brings me roses. Oh, I wish I were married to a man who brought me diamonds. All my life I've wanted a necklace with diamonds as *big* as tiger's teeth.
- Connie Ward: Fortunately, Jaynie's such a nice girl.
- Natalie Mercer: My, my, it certainly is Noel Cowardish the way you and your rival are such pals.
- Jaynie Stevens: Don't apologize, darling, I know your heart's in the right place - just the right place for a swift kick!
- Connie Ward: Perhaps it's - all part of being an orchestra wife. If that's so, I don't want to be an orchestra wife.
- Sinjin: Now, look, Connie, you're not playing with dolls anymore. When you're playing with dolls you can make things to come out the way you want them to. But, when you play with men and women you can't do that. It's too bad; but, that's how it is.
