• Trixie : I don't want your husband. I want a parachute!

• Trixie : You can't sleep in that room. It's very noisy! And there's a cat in the alley.

  Angela Brooks : No cat can disturb me.

• Trixie : I'd like a little peace!

  Jimmy Wade : As far as I'm concerned, you can rest in it.

• Trixie : Oh, you wives give me a pain. I've heard a lot of that hooey about bought kisses. Your's are the kisses that are bought. Bought with a stylish wedding and a big empty house. Something for nothing! That's the marriage game.

  Angela Brooks : What do you give him?

  Trixie : What do I give him? I laugh when he does. I drink when he does! I give him a pal with lips to kiss and shoulders to hug. I give him a dream made out of perfume and soft lights. I jazz all the dullness out of his soul for him!

• Angela Brooks : I'll get my husband back from you.

  Trixie : Try and do it!

  Angela Brooks : All right, I will! You made him sick of virtue, I'll make him so sick of vice he'll scream for decency! I'll give him perfume and jazz until his head reels! He wants them hot, does he? All right, I'll give him a volcano! They'll have to call out the whole fire department to put me out!

• Roman Senator : Well, if it isn't little Trixie. How's tricks?

  Trixie : [in disguise]  How did you know me?

  Roman Senator : I knew you by your appendix scar.

• Trixie : Hey, what's the idea? Forget that devil dame.

• Trixie : Make it snappy because sweet Papa's coming soon!

• Trixie : [singing]  Low down, Low down, Don't tell me to slow down, I'm sayin', When they start playin', The red hot rhythm, You'll find me with 'em...

• Trixie : [singing]  I love all the sin that puts the sin in syncopation, I do now and then, Get up the yam for a new sensation...

• Trixie : [singing]  Bach and Chopin, Can't give me what Jazz can, No, you kid, I like my music, Low down!

• Trixie : Who's the dame?

  Angela Brooks : Of course, you don't know me. I'm Bob Brooks' wife.

• Trixie : Say, what's the big idea of letting that dame park herself in my flat? What do you mean by it?

  Jimmy Wade : What do you mean by what do I mean?

  Trixie : Boasting you're my husband!

  Jimmy Wade : Boast? It isn't a boast, it's a complaint!

  Trixie : Say, you worm, get out of my room!

  Jimmy Wade : I wouldn't marry you to keep warm on an iceberg.

• Angela Brooks : Why, Jimmy, you haven't started to undress?

  Jimmy Wade : Oh, I was just going to.

  Angela Brooks : Oh, I really have inconvenienced you, now, haven't I?

  Jimmy Wade : No, not at all.

  Angela Brooks : Well, I'm just not going to leave until I know that you two turtledoves are comfy.

  Trixie : Go ahead and undress, Jimmy.

• Trixie : Get out of here, you viper!

• Jimmy Wade : Come on, old man, please, let's go. Will you?

  Bob Brooks : Oh, all right. But, I don't know where I'm going. I'm as free as the air! I've left home.

  Trixie : For me?

  Jimmy Wade : For good?

  Bob Brooks : For the good of all women!

• Angela Brooks : How can he like you?

  Trixie : Hmm. That's my secret!

  Angela Brooks : Nothing's secret about you. You're common and cheap!

  Trixie : Hmm. Oh, no, dearie! You're all wrong. I'm uncommonly expensive!

• Trixie : You're just sore because you couldn't hold him!

  Angela Brooks : I wouldn't use your methods.

  Trixie : You would if you could; but, you don't know how.

• Angela Brooks : I'd give my life to make a home for him.

  Trixie : That's not a home. It's an ice plant!

• Angela Brooks : If I believed you, I've thrown away my whole life.

  Trixie : You didn't throw it away. You put it in a safe deposit box and, now, you've lost the key.

• Trixie : You'll give it to me?

  Angela Brooks : Yes, I'll give it to you!
