• Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : [At the State Reform School for girls, an inmate is at the piano singing the song "Diane", which includes the lyric "I'm in heaven when I see you smile"]  Will ya stop remindin' me of heaven... when I'm so close to the other place?

  Prisoner at Checkers Table : What's the matter Mary? Don't you like our little hotel?

  Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : Oh, I think it's swell. The ventilation is great, my room has a southern exposure, the rates are cheap, but somehow or other the atmosphere is too confining.

  Fat Prisoner : Don't let it getcha down, kid. At least we don't have to wait in line for a bowl of soup like they do outside.

  Mrs. Black, Prisoner at Checkers Table : Don't be always a-stewin', dearie. You only get your insides in an uproar, and for what? You're in and you're gonna stay in till they get even with ya for bustin' the rules.

  Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : Yeah, I'm in alright, but that don't mean I hafta like it.

  Mrs. Black, Prisoner at Checkers Table : I'll betcha a red herring against a case of pre-war scotch it was some man that got you pushed in here. Well, don't sit around figurin' the worst things you'd do to him if he was Mussolini. Just make up your mind not to get tangled up with a man again. Any man!

• Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : Will you stop remindin' me of Heaven when I'm so close to the other place?

• Ruth Wescott : [Referring to Vivian]  Some people get all the luck.

  Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : [Musingly]  I wonder.

• Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : Vivian, I'm no puritan and I'm no kill-joy. And I don't mind people havin' a good time, I never have. And I'm no buttinski either!

• Vivian Revere Kirkwood : Well, its been nice seeing you again. I look forward to hearing from you sometime this week? Did you keep Ruth's number?

  Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : Yes.

  Vivian Revere Kirkwood : Well, bring her along. We'll all have lunch together.

  Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : Sure! And dish the dirt!
