- Kay Curtis: [Referring to note in envelope] It's for us all right. It says "for the g.d. sisters." I don't know if he means gold diggers or another well-known word.
- June Dale: You've been like a father.
- Kenneth Van Dusen: I don't feel fatherly. I feel... uh, hotcha! That's it - hotcha!
- Kenneth Van Dusen: You may not realize it, but there's something of a caveman in me.
- June Dale: That's what I'm afraid of, Kenneth
- June Dale: What now?
- Kay Curtis: There's an old saying - when one fish gets away, bait your hook for another one.
- June Dale: I don't quite get you.
- Kay Curtis: You're the bait. Before the sun sinks in the good old west, we'll bait another one.
- Detective Chief J.T. McDonald: [to Kay and June as they are leaving] Oh, just a little parting advice - no one ever got in trouble by minding their own business.
- Kay Curtis: [Handing him back a gun] Thanks for the use of your bean shooter, Pop.
- Detective Chief J.T. McDonald: Too bad you're a woman. You'd make a great copper.
- Kay Curtis: Well, children, old lady Kay is going to hit the hay. You better grab a few winks yourself kid, that midnight jewelry's beginning to show under the eyes.
- Mrs. Bradford: I knew that if Daisy had to depend on her own brains, she'd be a flop.
- Alvin Bradford: Ah,yes, without your powerful mind, I guess we'd all be pretty well sunk.
- Mrs. Bradford: I'm brainy enough to know when to run for cover. Let's start packing!
- Alvin Bradford: They'll grab us directly we make a move.
- Mrs. Bradford: Listen, if I have a nervous breakdown over Daisy's disappearance, I could go to a New York sanitarium, and they wouldn't get wise.
- Alvin Bradford: If they ever get you under observation in a sanitarium, they'll probably keep you there.
- Mrs. Bradford: And I'd probably feel right at home there after being around you.
- Kenneth Van Dusen: Golddigger, huh? I never had any use for golddiggers.
- Kay Curtis: Anybody can see that. You're too smart.
- Kenneth Van Dusen: Any man who lets a girl make a fool out of him, deserves it.
- Kay Curtis: Oh, working for a living is old fashioned. But, then, on the other hand, so is starving to death.
- [first lines]
- June Dale: No!
- Kenneth Van Dusen: One little kiss never killed anybody.
- June Dale: But, you've been a gentleman, so far.
- Kenneth Van Dusen: When I brought you to Palm Beach, I had no idea of being a gentleman. I want to make love to you in a very worst way.
- June Dale: Why, Mr. Van Dusen! You shock me!
- Kenneth Van Dusen: You kept me in the icebox for three weeks now. This is the first chance I've had to be alone with you.
- Kenneth Van Dusen: I spent a lot of money on you. What do I get? Nothing but promises.
- June Dale: Why, Mr. Van Dusen..
- Kenneth Van Dusen: And that's another thing! From now on, I want to be called Kenneth.
- June Dale: All right - Kenneth.
- Kenneth Van Dusen: That's better. I want to be called Kenneth and I want kisses - and I want more than kisses. And no more promises.
- June Dale: Would I like to own him. Mmmm.
- Kay Curtis: Some days, he certainly tumbled into the sugar barrel.
- Kay Curtis: Gee, the gigolo business must be good these days when you lose track of your own sweetheart.
- Kay Curtis: Leave it lay! I'm coming up for more punishment. Come on, dice, sizzle over your great big sister. Ha-chi!
- [rolls dice]
- Kay Curtis: Just once more! Double or nothing. Double or nothing. Fourteen hundred dollars and I'll buy Champagne. I'll buy enough Champagne to take a bath in. Come on, dice, Champagne for Mama! Ha-chi!
- Kay Curtis: Oh, forget her - and him, too. I never saw you act this way before. After all, you only met him once - in an elevator. And you can't do much in an elevator.
- June Dale: Can you imagine him having a chauffeur?
- Kay Curtis: Oh, who hasn't?
- June Dale: We haven't.
- Kay Curtis: Look in your stocking around Christmastime. You'll find one.
- Henry Gibson: Here's my favorite remedy for a nervous headache.
- Daisy Bradford: Well, what is it?
- Henry Gibson: Fine old brandy and aspirin.
- Julie - Daisy's Maid: Anything more I can do, honey lamb child?
- Daisy Bradford: No, nothing more, Julie. Oh, yes. You might unpack the rest of my things.
- Julie - Daisy's Maid: Yessum.
- Henry Gibson: Where is Mrs. Gibson?
- Julie - Daisy's Maid: Ain't she in bed?
- Henry Gibson: I can't find her anyplace.
- Julie - Daisy's Maid: Lawsy me, I ain't been outta here but a couple of minutes.
- June Dale: Her husband is offering $25,000 reward for her return.
- Kay Curtis: Huh! I'd get him six like her for $10 a piece.
- Kay Curtis: Hey, listen, you offered this reward and we're trying to help you out. Now, if you don't like that, go fry an egg.
- Kay Curtis: [sitting in jail] Hey, you know what I think?
- June Dale: Please, don't think. One more thought out of you and we'll be electrocuted.
- Kay Curtis: He's up there pacing back-n-forth, just achin' to give away 25,000 cartwheels and here we sit and say no dessert.
- June Dale: This life of leisure isn't all its cracked up to be. I wish I'd been in the chorus where I belong.
- Kay Curtis: You know, June, sometimes I almost suspect you got an honest streak somewhere in your system.
- Kay Curtis: Now, don't slap me down when I spring this on you, but, all gold diggers are the same. That is, all except myself. I'm human. I got a heart.
- June Dale: Who in the world are you calling?
- Kay Curtis: Now, don't bother Mother when she's making business.
- Kay Curtis: There's no use my telling you anything. I tried to get you to listen to me the last time I was here and you acted like a dog catcher.
- Kay Curtis: [on the phone] Spiegalheimer!
- Nurse: I'm sorry, I didn't get the name.
- Kay Curtis: I'll spell it for you.
- June Dale: It'll take at least a year.
- Kay Curtis: S as in sardines. P as in peanuts. I as in indigestion. E as in elephant. G as in gosh. A as in adenoids. L as in lumbago. H as in hotcha. Another E. Oh, yes, that makes two elephants...
- Julie - Daisy's Maid: She lay down on the bed and seemed to go right to sleep - as if she was doped!
