• Thelma : [Patsy slips on a roller skate and falls on her bottom]  What, again? And you promised me you'd be careful.

  Patsy : I broke my promise.

• Patsy : Did I ever cause you any trouble? I'm your palsy-walsy, toots!

  Thelma : Yeah? Beginning when?

• Patsy : That's the Todd spirit!

  Thelma : You keep your eyes open for a man on a motorcycle.

• Motorcycle Officer Baker : Where's the fire?

  Thelma : In your eyes, you great, big, gorgeous policeman.

  Motorcycle Officer Baker : That ain't going to get you anywhere with me, lady. What's the idea of doin' 50 miles an hour down this boulevard?

  Thelma : 50 miles? Why we weren't even going 40, not even 30! Why we couldn't...

  Motorcycle Officer Baker : Wait a minute! You'll be backing over somebody. I'm gonna give you a ticket.

  Patsy : We don't want to go to any policeman's ball.

• Thelma : You see, officer, it's like this, eh, we just won the car. Isn't it ducky? And, eh, we were just trying it out. And, eh, well, eh, we're just regular fellows and you look like a regular guy and, well, how's about it?

  Motorcycle Officer Baker : Ha-ha. Well, I'll sort of pass it up, this time. But, eh, don't do it again, will ya?

  Thelma : Okay, hand-some.

• Motorist : [Thelma's car hits another car at an intersection]  Lady, I'm awfully sorry, but if I'm not too insipid, you practically demolished my cavoletti.

  Thelma : Eh, I beg your pardon?

  Motorist : You smacked the devil out of my can.

  Thelma : Oh, I think you must be mistaken. We barely touched.
