Bartender Skelly : You've been to the races - haven't you? With a lady?

Steve Canfield : Stems, what causes a man to pass up a really great gal like you and fall in love with a shelf of books?
Hilda Spotts : The book shelf is the one with the cool face and the warm figure. What's wrong with her?

Hilda Spotts : An encyclopedia with a shape like that?

Steve Canfield : What's wrong with this, Stems? Ol' lady destiny comes along bearing gifts, we don't know enough to take 'em.

Steve Canfield : Hello, Sugar. Do you come with the room?
Dr. Ann Wotters : Well, that's what I wanted to talk to about.
Steve Canfield : Now, look, sweetheart, you add up to what the doctor ordered. But, I'm just a city boy who's afraid of wild flowers. Catch on?
Dr. Ann Wotters : What on earth are you talking about?
Steve Canfield : Merely my way of saying it's time to - chase along baby.
Dr. Ann Wotters : Didn't the manager tell you about me?
Steve Canfield : No.
[looks Ann over]
Steve Canfield : No, I guess he wanted to surprise me.

Steve Canfield : All a man has to do is to concentrate on something with the right appeal - and that's you Stems.
Hilda Spotts : You're not so hard to take, yourself.
