- Doug Hallerton: There must be some more dignified way to sell Klenzrite... like you, taking a bath in it, stark naked in Macy's window.
- Doug Hallerton: Somebody stole my moustache. Fielding, I want that moustache returned, every hair in place.
- Kid Mariacchi: Where do you have to go?
- Ted Riley: Tim's Bar on Third Avenue. It's a long way from here.
- Kid Mariacchi: You're nuts. It's ten minutes.
- Ted Riley: No, it's ten years.
- Madeline Bradville: We had something so wonderful, a totally reformed drunkard who was going to tell us his inspiring story.
- Jackie Leighton: Yes, but he got drunk.
- Ted Riley: Look lady, if you'll excuse, you don't have to hang around with me all evening. I wish I didn't have to hang around with myself.
- Jackie Leighton: But, Ted, aren't you in terrible danger?
- Ted Riley: Yeah. Yeah, I'm in terrible danger. I'm in danger of believing that look on your face.
- Boxers: [singing] What a dame! What a dame! She belongs in the Hall of Fame! Baby, you knock me out!
- Lefty Louie - Gym Trainer: You're the dame with the fame they whistle at. You're the dame with the brain, picture that. You're the doll with a wallop like a baseball bat.
- Boxers: One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten. Boing!
- Ted Riley: You know something, I used to think I was greater than Babe Ruth, Justice Hall and Dick Tracy rolled into one.
- Jackie Leighton: What did they think you were going to turn out to be?
- Ted Riley: Oh, nothin' much. Just a great man. I have a sneaking feeling I've let them down just a wee bit.
- Ted Riley: I'm mixed up with some of the shadiest characters in town. As a matter of fact, knowing the inspiring and uplifting work you do on this program, I - I feel terrible showing my face in decent homes across the country. Boys, don't be like me. Live clean. Use Klenzrite.
- Ted Riley: I think you're about the prettiest program coordinator I've ever seen. You know, eh, a fella's not safe alone in a cab with a girl these days.
- Jackie Leighton: All right.
- [Leans over and give Ted a long, long kiss]
- Jackie Leighton: Okay. Satisified? I just couldn't face the boredom of fighting you off for the next ten blocks. Its the simplest method of my own invention: remove the initiative of the rude male and he'll retire in confusion. Now, while you're retiring in confusion, I'll do a little work.
- Ted Riley: What kind of a screwball are you?
- Jackie Leighton: To save you the strain of trying to understand me, I'll give you the salient facts: graduate of Barnard, summa cume laude; career girl; I'm fairly pretty - which is a nuisance; I attract a lot of men at first - but, I can always find a way of getting rid of them and then everybodies happy all around. In short, I can always scare them off.
- Jackie Leighton: As Shakespeare says in The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 7: Most friendship is feigning, most loving - mere folly.
- Ted Riley: Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly. Well, in some ways, you and me and Shakespeare see eye-to-eye.
- Jackie Leighton: See, you didn't bother me in the least on the rest of the trip. My own invention.
- Ted Riley: That invention's gonna explode in your face someday, Einstein.
- Jackie Leighton: I wouldn't bet on that.
- Ted Riley: You know, there's a lot of things you shouldn't bet on; like that Shakespeare quote, for instance. It ain't The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 7. It's As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 7: Heigh-ho, sing heigh-ho! Unto the green holly, Most friendship is feigning, most loving - mere folly.
- Ted Riley: Well, well, well, right on the dot. Are you always this prompt?
- Jackie Leighton: Yes. I'm - just a machine.
- Ted Riley: Good, I love to tinker with machinery.
- Boxers: [singing] One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten. Bong!
- Jackie Leighton: How strong! - - A one-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten. Bong! Come on! - - You got me hangin' on the ropes!
- Boxers: Baby, you knock me out. You're the broad I applaud in a Broadway show...
- Ted Riley: I don't get you. First, it was strictly - no dice, for which I can hardly blame ya, and now - you - I don't figure a broad like you.
- Jackie Leighton: I don't get you. You talk like a muck or you try to. But, obviously, well, that Shakespeare quote.
