- Documentary Narrator: Each returning serviceman will get his job back when the war is won. And you girls and women, you'll be going home. Back to being housewives and mothers as you promised to do when you came to work with us. Your lives will return to normal.
- Hazel: Hey, buddy, who do you think you are?
- Moon Willis: I'm gonna' tell you who I am: I'm Moon Willis, and I've been workin' in this damn place for 12 long years, this is *my* parking space and I ain't about to lose it to a bunch of fly-by-night women like you! Huh-uhh... You don't belong here! None of ya'!
- Jack Walsh: So like I said, congratulations. Congrats!
- [toasts her with a bottle of beer]
- Kay Walsh: For what?
- Jack Walsh: You know... What did you say your were making?
- Kay Walsh: $1.35 an hour.
- Jack Walsh: What did you say about overtime?
- Kay Walsh: I didn't.
- Jack Walsh: [looks deflated] Beats me anyway. Beats me all to hell! Here's to ya', kiddo.
- Jack Walsh: That guy you work with... what's his name?
- Kay Walsh: Lucky?
- Jack Walsh: There's no question about that.
- Kay Walsh: What do you mean?
- Jack Walsh: Well, he's stateside, he's not in uniform... how lucky can you get?
- Kay Walsh: I don't think he'd call it lucky.
- Jack Walsh: Well, the next time you go to work ask him what he'd call it and where I might stand in line to get it.
- Kay Walsh: What would you call it, Jack?
- Jack Walsh: I'd call it cheating, Kay.
- Jack Walsh: So who else got lucky besides Lucky? Didn't it mean anything - that - that you're my wife?
- Kay Walsh: Of course it meant something.
- Jack Walsh: Blame it on the war - it's everybody's excuse.
- Kay Walsh: I'm not the same. And neither are you.
- Kay Walsh: [Kay and the other aircraft plant workers look up as a number of new aircraft zoom over them] We made those.
- Lucky Lockhart: How are you going to get home?
- Kay Walsh: If I can build a goddamn airplane, I can get myself home!
- Hazel: [singing] I wasn't thinking about romance, I didn't even give love a chance, I didn't believe that dreams came true, And suddenly I saw you...
- Rupert George: This is a rivet gun. But we don't want you shooting anybody with it, do we, boys? Get serious here for a moment. Riveting is real suited to you gals, because women are used to repetitive tasks. Believe me, ladies, as strange as all this may seem, after training, you'll use these tools as easily as you would a can opener or a sewing machine needle at home.
- Lucky Lockhart: I'm your leadman. Just take a deep breath and you'll get your confidence back.
- Kay Walsh: [takes a deep breath] Okay. Maybe I just should've stayed at home.
- Lucky Lockhart: Oh, balls. Look, you - I mean - I'm sorry.
- Kay Walsh: That's okay. My husband used to say that all the time, "Oh, balls. Oh, balls" It's okay.
- Lucky Lockhart: Is he dead?
- Kay Walsh: No.
- Lucky Lockhart: Are you okay?
- Kay Walsh: Yeah.
- Lucky Lockhart: You haven't quit yet.
- Kay Walsh: No. We have to win the war, don't we?
- Lucky Lockhart: I'm just try to pay the bills and stay out of trouble, myself.
- Hazel: Look, all you gotta say is, "Listen, you big ape. You ever pull that on me again, I'll slap your ears off."
- Kay Walsh: Lucky, that's a funny name. How did you get it?
- Lucky Lockhart: I better not tell you. It's kind of dirty.
- Lucky Lockhart: I'd like to think you helped. I'd like to think we made love to each other.
- Kay Walsh: Would you repeat that.
- Lucky Lockhart: I don't know what for. I'm not gonna make myself any clearer.
- Kay Walsh: Are you telling me I'm the one responsible for all this - when you've been asking me out forever and I keep turning you down? I keep saying no?
- Lucky Lockhart: And all the time you meant yes.
- Kay Walsh: No! I didn't mean yes, I meant no!
- Lucky Lockhart: Well, somebody around here said yes.
- Kay Walsh: Well, I said yes because I felt sorry for you. That's why I said yes.
- Lucky Lockhart: Oh, sure, and there's a *war* going on.
- Kay Walsh: Now, just get out of here!
- Lucky Lockhart: What the hell does it look like I'm doing?
- Kay Walsh: Well, do it faster then!
- Lucky Lockhart: You're all wet.
- Kay Walsh: I know.
- Lucky Lockhart: Your make-up's probably in your nylons by now.
- Kay Walsh: You're everywhere. In my work, in my life. How do I ever get rid of you?
- Lucky Lockhart: You can't, I hope.
- Kay Walsh: Ah, this is better than anything. This place, the music, dancing with you.
- Lucky Lockhart: It's pretty damn good.
- Kay Walsh: Oh, oh.
- Vocalist at Kelly's: [singing] You had plenty money, 1922, You let other women make a fool of you, Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
- Documentary Narrator: Each returning serviceman will get his job back when the war is won. And you girls and women, you'll go home - back to being housewives and mothers - as you promised to do when you came to work with us. Your lives will return to normal.
- Biscuits Toohey: Here's to Kay and Jack, Jeannie and Bobby, Clarence and Annie, Violet and Deacon, and Hazel and me. And all of us. And no more war - and one helluva future!
- Hazel: You're on your own, sweetheart.
- Kay Walsh: There's a word for you.
- Hazel: Just stay away from me!
- Kay Walsh: Only I can't say it. Oh, yes, I can. Whore!
- Hazel: Did you call me a whore?
- Kay Walsh: Yeah. Did you see anybody else I could be speaking to?
- Hazel: You're the whore, sweetheart.
- Kay Walsh: You're a bigger whore!
- Kay Walsh: Why aren't you in the service?
- Lucky Lockhart: I'm a Jap spy.
- Kay Walsh: Aren't you ever serious about anything?
- Lucky Lockhart: You tell me what there's to be serious about?
- Kay Walsh: Everything. The war, the Nazis, Winston Churchill.
- Kay Walsh: Penney's is looking for salesgirls.
- Jack Walsh: I don't want you doing any such thing. I don't want you working.
- Lucky Lockhart: So what about you? You like good music?
- Hazel: You addressing me?
- Lucky Lockhart: Correct.
- Hazel: You're barking up the wrong tree, mister.
- Lucky Lockhart: My mother always said someday I'd meet a wonderful girl like you.
- Biscuits Toohey: You got to see what fate has in store for you. 'Cause just when you think you're through and life has got you beat - bam, bam, bam - it comes right back to you, stronger than ever. And everything's good again.
- Biscuits Toohey: Something in our life keeps bringing you and me together, huh? I'm shipping out tonight.
- Hazel: Tonight?
- Biscuits Toohey: Yeah. I'm glad, though. Because now I can tell you I'm sorry. For Frankie, the broads, the promises, everything. I messed up real bad with you, Hazel.
- Hazel: You talk like you're going to die or something.
- Hazel: What about you, Jack, and Lucky? That made a real pretty picture, Kay.
- Kay Walsh: That was me and Jack and Lucky! This is me and you and Lucky!
- Lucky Lockhart: All right, that's it. You two don't need me.
- Second Interviewer: Swing shift, 60 cents an hour.
- Hazel: Swing shift?
- Second Interviewer: Swing shift: four to midnight. Okay?
- Hazel: [sarcastically] Great.
