Quotes 

• Lady Lee : I don't like that Sheila dame.

• Lady Lee : Watson, my magnifying glass, and a bottle of milk for Toodles.

• Mike Lee : You know you didn't help yourself much when you picked me for a father.

  Lady Lee : Am I squawkin'?

• Charlie Lang : Look, I don't know just how to say this to you. But, well, now that Mike's gone, I was wonderin' how you'd feel about - marrying me?

  Lady Lee : That's a swell idea; except, well, it just can't be. You see, the guy'd have to be on the up-and-up all the way with me.

  Charlie Lang : Aw, that's a lot of bonkers! It wouldn't make what a difference what a guy was if you really loved him. You'd stick with the payoff, that's the kind of a dame you are. No, what you're really trying to say is - I'm the wrong guy. Isn't that it?

  Lady Lee : I guess I'm a dope, Charlie.

  Charlie Lang : Oh, will you quit takin' it to heart. I'm only tryin' to help you out. We'll always be pals, won't we Lady?

• Lady Lee : I can stack 'em, cold deck 'em, palm 'em, anything you want. And I don't need glasses to read 'em.

• Lady Lee : I play my hunches.

  Jim Fallin : With a routine like this, you'd take a chance on luck?

  Lady Lee : You're an awful sucker, Jim. You see, my angle on it is that, well, everything you do is a gamble. If you're lucky, you win. And if you're not, there's no amount of stackin' gonna help you out.

• Garry Madison : [Sitting at a poker table]  Do you play poker every night?

  Lady Lee : No. Some nights I play blackjack.

  [to the dealer] 

  Lady Lee : I bet.

  Garry Madison : I'd like to play Hearts with you sometime.

  Lady Lee : I kinda figured that.

• Lady Lee : Remember, don't go pluggin' anybody.

  Mealy - Bodyguard : Me? Why I wouldn't hurt a fly.

• Garry Madison : Hi you, Bermuda.

  Lady Lee : Well, hello Norway.

  Garry Madison : No matter where you go, I'll find you.

  Lady Lee : So, I noticed.

• Lady Lee : Well, you sure fooled me, brother. I didn't spot you as a copper.

  Garry Madison : Well, what do you mean?

  Lady Lee : Where's your badge, flatfoot?

• Charlie Lang : Sorry to get you up so early.

  Lady Lee : Its a pleasure, believe me. Thanks for springin' me, kid.

  Charlie Lang : Anything for a pal.

• Garry Madison : I told you last night and I'm here to tell you just once more. I had nothing to do with that raid. I was an innocent bystander, just like yourself.

  Lady Lee : Well, then why do you go prowling around into places when you don't know how to act? Of all the dopey, stupid, greenhorn tricks I ever heard of. Bringing two complete strangers into a gambling layout!

  Garry Madison : All right I admit it was stupid, but it certainly wasn't intentional. Now, that's my story and you can take it or leave it.

  Lady Lee : I, eh, I think I'll take it.

  Garry Madison : Can you take it?

  Lady Lee : Mmm-hmm.

• Garry Madison : It is beautiful, isn't it, Lady?

  Lady Lee : Watch out. You're liable to get moonburned.

• Lady Lee : Sheila, darling, I don't feel like doing any tricks.

• Lady Lee : For the three hundredth and eight-seventh time: No!

• Lady Lee : Did that stop her? No! She came right into my own home and tried to make a monkey out of me!

• Lady Lee : Gerry, I need ten thousand right away.

  Garry Madison : Ten thousand what?

  Lady Lee : Dollars! Charlie Lang is down in the tombs and I gotta spring him.

• Charlie Lang : That Fallin shook me down, I'm gonna shake him down for a cool hundred Gs.

  Lady Lee : I don't wanna hear about it.

  Charlie Lang : What's a matter? You going soft?

  Lady Lee : No, but you ought to know better than to play that shakedown game. Why its like foolin' with dynamite playing around with those buzzards.

  Charlie Lang : Did I say anything? What's the matter? You going nuts?

• Garry Madison : You'd do anything, wouldn't you, to save your...

  Lady Lee : Don't say that!

  Garry Madison : Well, he was, wasn't he?

  Lady Lee : Figure it out for yourself. And I won't be here while you're making up your mind.

• Lady Lee : Every guy's entitled to one mistake.

  Sheila Aiken : Quite true. But, I'm not that mistake, Lady. You are.

• Charlie Lang : Hello, Lady! Would I love a chance to say no to you and would I be lyin'.

  Lady Lee : How'd you make out down South?

  Charlie Lang : Oh, I cleaned up in Ole Mexico. I took their whips and their pants and their sashes. By the way, here's a hundred bucks I owe you.

  Lady Lee : It was only fifty!

  Charlie Lang : Alright, I'm a sucker. Take it. Forget about it.
