• Kitty : I'm certainly praying for a good house. You know, tonight tells the tale: Broadway or bust!

  Jimmy : Gosh, honey, I know the show would have a better chance if you were up there on the stage.

  Kitty : I wonder - if I ever will get a break.

  Jimmy : Sure you will! You're gonna be a big star on Broadway. Why, with your youth and beauty and me, in back of ya, why, honey, we're a cinch!

  Kitty : Together: we're sure fire!

• Nita : I'm desperate!

  Chorus Girl : We haven't been paid for two weeks.

  Harold : What about Mother?

  Kitty : What about Dad?

  Nita : What about me?

  Sarah : Oh, for Pete's sake, kids, stop worrying about the robbery. The Show has got to go on!

• Kitty : I could get Mr. Wallace to help us. Oh, Jerry, I know what he wants and so do you.

  Jerry : Now see here, Kitty, there's only a few of you sweet kids left. Stay that way. Get me?

  Kitty : I know, but, maybe I could make him my slave without even lettin' him touch me.

  Jerry : Your self-confidence is only exceeded by my big feet.

• Kitty : I know how those gold diggers work. I haven't been brought up in the theater all my life for nothin'.

• Kitty : Oh, Jerry. I know how that racket works.

  Jerry : No, forget it! If you try to pull any gag like that around here, I'll make your Dad spank you.

• Kitty : Is there something you wanted?

  Durant : Yes. I want you to quit high-hattin' me.

  Kitty : I'm not high-hatting you. I'm just trying to mind my own business.

• Durant : I'm crazy about you. I love you.

  Kitty : What kind of love?

  Durant : Practical love. The kind of love that comes wrapped up with jewelry. That's what I'm offering you, you sweet, pretty, little kid, you. The kind of love that don't fade with the moon. Don't you understand, Kitty? You're green. Get some experience and get it from me.

  Kitty : Well, maybe I am green.

  Durant : Awful green. It hurts my eyes. I have to wear smoked glasses every time I look at you.

• Jimmy : Your breath!

  Kitty : Oh, now, calm down. Everything's all right. Nothing's happened.

  Jimmy : You had a drink with that flat tire! Oh no, nothing's wrong, nothing's happened.

  Kitty : Oh, Jimmy, he and I were just...

  Jimmy : Just in here alone with the door shut! Waiting' for a street car, I suppose?

• Kitty : You don't understand. I can't go on!

  Jerry : You've got to go on in this racket today. Always. On with the show!
