• Lois Ames : You see, I've been having trouble with secretaries. The work is so uncertain. It needs a man. You understand that our relations will be purely of a business nature.

  Thomas 'Tom' : Of course, Mrs. Ames.

  Lois Ames : It pays 50 a week and may develop into something better. That, of course, will be up to you.

  Thomas 'Tom' : Well, I shall certainly appreciate the chance, Mrs. Ames.

  Lois Ames : Good.

• Thomas 'Tom' : Can't you get it through your fat head that, today, there's just as many serious-minded women in business as men. When you meet them you don't have to treat them as if your out on a party.

  Andy Doyle : Well, what did you do?

  Thomas 'Tom' : I didn't talk to her any differently than I would to a man.

  Andy Doyle : You're all alone with her.

  Thomas 'Tom' : Well, what of it?

  Andy Doyle : Well, why didn't ya?

• Thomas 'Tom' : Listen, kid, it isn't fair to you to be engaged.

  Ruth 'Ruthie' Holman : Why not?

  Thomas 'Tom' : Well, that night we were all swanked up and I talked you into it. Who am I to be engaged to any woman?

  Ruth 'Ruthie' Holman : You know something, you were just fooling, but, its true, if you hadn't been swank that night, we wouldn't be engaged.

  Thomas 'Tom' : I knew you had brains. I knew you'd see it that way.

  Ruth 'Ruthie' Holman : Why, of course, I do. Seeing you swank was what made me fall in love with you - the swell way you carried your liquor. Any boy who can get away with what you did, so politely, well, I want him for life.
