Quotes 

  • Masher in Dance Hall : I've got a right to dance and you got to dance with me. I paid for it!

    Shirley Day : Yeah, you paid a dime with your feet, not your hands.

  • John Allen : Do you girls have to dance with everybody who has a ticket?

    Shirley Day : Why not?

    John Allen : Well, it must be sort of tough lettin' every guy paw you.

    Shirley Day : They don't paw me! Not if they know what's good for 'em.

  • Shirley Day : What do you do for a living?

    John Allen : Well, I'm a riveter.

    Shirley Day : Oh, that's where you get such a big muscle, ain't it. You make good money at it too, don't you?

    John Allen : Sixty-two fifty per!

    Shirley Day : Boy! You and Rockefeller!

  • John Allen : I think education is the biggest thing in the world.

    Shirley Day : Oh, not that I'm against education. I got a good one myself.

    John Allen : You have?

    Shirley Day : Yeah. I went a year to high school.

  • Shirley Day : Well, I'm through strugglin'. See! I'm at the end of my rope and I don't want to hang; so, I'm haulin' in. Get the idea?

  • John Allen : I don't know what keeps me from killing you.

    Shirley Day : If you did, the goose would stop layin' the golden eggs!

  • Shirley Day : [Getting ready to leave for the dance hall in a tight-fitting dress]  Well, Big Boy, what do I look like now?

    John Allen : [Contemptuously]  Just like what you are!

  • Shirley Day : Say, big boy, you sure are a swell little hoofer.

    John Allen : You ain't so bad, yourself.

  • Shirley Day : Fresh guy, huh!

    [slaps Masher] 

    Masher in Dance Hall : Heh!

    Tony : What's the matter here? What's the matter?

    Masher in Dance Hall : You try it again and I'll break your neck!

    Tony : More trouble!

    Shirley Day : Just because he paid a dime to dance with me, he thinks that entitles him to privileges!

    Masher in Dance Hall : Aw, who wants any privileges with you? A dime would be too much for a bimbo like you!

  • John Allen : That's what's the trouble with your job. You know, it makes a guy think you're - well, what he said you were. You hadn't ought to work there any more.

    Shirley Day : I don't.

    John Allen : Gee and it was my fault you got canned.

    Shirley Day : Oh, no! Nothing would have happened if I hadn't slapped him myself. But, then, I couldn't let him play around with me that way, could I?

    John Allen : No! Not if you're decent.

    Shirley Day : Well, that's one thing I am! I may work in a tough joint, but everybody that knows me, knows I'm on the level.

    John Allen : Well, that's the only way for a girl to be.

  • Shirley Day : I'll speak to Tony myself. I'm sure he'll take me on again.

    John Allen : Oh, no, no. Say, that would give all those fellas a chance to get fresh with you again.

    Shirley Day : It'll only be for a short time.

    John Allen : It sure is tough on a pretty girl, ain't it.

    Shirley Day : You really think I'm pretty?

    John Allen : Why, yeah.

    Shirley Day : I'm glad you think so.

  • Shirley Day : I know you don't care a rack about me.

    John Allen : [drunkenly]  Sure I do, Shirley. I like you a whole lot! I said I did.

    Shirley Day : You never kiss me.

    John Allen : Well, I did. Just awhile ago.

    Shirley Day : Oh, I don't mean like that. I mean kiss me because you must do it! Because you can't keep yourself back! Because your whole insides burn up just for me.

    John Allen : Oh, shucks, Shirley.

    Shirley Day : That's how I am with you.

    [passionate kiss] 

  • Bud Clark : I ain't gonna let you pull the old Army game on him!

    Shirley Day : Oh, who's pullin' the Army game?

    Bud Clark : You are and you know it! You got him drunk so's he'd get all hot over you. Now, you're framing him to marry ya!

    Shirley Day : I don't have to frame anything, Mr. Wise Guy. We're married already.

  • John Allen : Now, see here! I ain't standin' for this any longer. I stood for you payin' the rent because I couldn't help myself. But, if you go out with them things on, advertise what you brought me to, you can stay out!

    Shirley Day : You got it backwards, big boy! I'm feedin' the kitty now! See!

    John Allen : There ain't anybody gonna bring that kinda money into this house.

    Shirley Day : Aw, that kind of money. Since when did you begin to examine a dollar to see who its father was?

  • John Allen : Oh, why do you want to stay here for, when you're doin' so well by yourself?

    Shirley Day : I found out that a Mrs. can get away with things that a Miss can't! That's why the girls all look up to me and try to get tips on how I do it.

  • Shirley Day : Don't make me laugh. It'll crack my lips.

  • Shirley Day : [Condescendingly to John]  Here's a buck in case you run out of cigarettes or something.

  • Bud Clark : John. John!

    John Allen : [drunkenly]  What's the matter now?

    Bud Clark : Did you let this dirty little egg rope you in?

    Shirley Day : Hey! That's no way to talk about his wife.

    Bud Clark : You filthy little rat you!

    John Allen : What's the matter now?
