Myra : Sorry about the paper. We get the news quicker from the radio there.
George : Yeah, but not this time of day though, do you?
Myra : No, along about evening. Even then sometimes the static is so bad we can't get anything. This time of year we have quite a bit of heat lightning, you know.
George : Heat lightning, huh? That will give my pal a thrill. Won't it Jeff?
Jeff : Yeah. That's all I need now. Something to remind me of...
Myra : It's enough to get on anyone's nerves.

George : What about the Uncle Horace out there? Is he on his way to Hollywood and the movies too?
Blonde Cutie : As far as I can make out he is on a lecture tour. All he's done since we picked him up in Kansas City, is give us speeches about nice girls not hitch-hiking.
Girl with Black Bangs : If that's all he did it wouldn't be so bad. But he tries to find out if our legs are in good condition.
George : I can't get very upset about you two tomatoes not being unable to take care of yourselves. I got a hunch the old man is the one who is really in a tough spot.

George : I sure am sorry we're not going the same way.
Blonde Cutie : Well. You go your way and - we'll go the way of all flesh.

Mrs. Tifton , Mrs. Ashton-Ashley : So were we.

George : Do you like it better here than you did in Tulsa?
Olga : I'm happy here. I know what living is about for the first time. I wouldn't change what I've got here for anything.
George : Never get lonesome?
Olga : I'm too busy.
George : Oh, I bet you think about the old town once in a while. Oil flares lighting up the streets. Everything wide open. Dance halls, gambling, girls.
Olga : Yeah. Don't forget the girls.
-
George : We're staying on here, but just long enough to get our hooks on the rocks those dames lugging around. We're in a tough spot and we might have to do some greasing to get across the border.
Jeff : Thanks. I'm glad you let me in on the plot.
George : We got our own New Deal coming up. Prosperity is just across the border.
-
George : My neck is just as valuable to me as yours is to you. And I am not going to do anything that will put a rope around it.

George : Wait a minute, lady, what's the beef?

George : Nobody ever got yellow with me that didn't get hurt.

George : Don't let anybody put anything over on you. That's the way to get along in the world. That's what I always done.
