- Sally Reardon: You mean, no wine?
- William 'Bill' Reardon: Yeah, that's it, no wine.
- Sally Reardon: Religious scruples?
- William 'Bill' Reardon: No. No, just mathematics. Filet mignon: $3.50. Strawberry parfait 75 cents. Six martinis.
- Sally Reardon: I only had three.
- William 'Bill' Reardon: They're charging me for mine too, you know. And all I've got in my pocket is a 20 dollar bill. Em, you don't happen to have a couple of dollars in your purse, do you?
- Sally Reardon: Money? Why didn't you say so.
- Policeman: Yes sir, that Mrs. Reardon is one wonderful little lady.
- Sam - Radio Car Driver: Yes she is. That Reardon's a lucky guy.

- Sally Reardon: Now we can let our back hair down.
- Lola Fraser: Who planted that dictaphone?
- Sally Reardon: Oh, probably that silly husband of mine. As if anyone wouldn't have sense enough to look for a dictaphone.
- Lola Fraser: How long do you suppose its been there?
- Sally Reardon: Why, I haven't the faintest idea but it looks awfully new. So, I guess it hasn't been used much.
- William 'Bill' Reardon: Listen, I gave her a week's salary. Why the extra five dollars?
- Sally Reardon: Ten dollars. For being here six months without flirting with you.
- William 'Bill' Reardon: Oh yeah, lady, you've been robbed.
- William 'Bill' Reardon: Tell me something, Snooks. If I'm as smart as you say, how did I happen to fall for a dumb dame like you?
- Sally Reardon: Believe me, I've sat up nights worrying about just that thing.
- William 'Bill' Reardon: What are you signing?
- Sally Reardon: I'm going to get 500 dollars for the story.
- William 'Bill' Reardon: For this story?
- Sally Reardon: No, for the love life of a girl detective.
- [Bill grabs the contract and rips it up]
- Sally Reardon: Bill, don't be angry. I wasn't going to give them any of the real inside dope.
- Detective Flannigan: What did Lola Fraser tell you after you cut that wire?
- Sally Reardon: She made me promise not to tell anyone, so, don't you repeat it.
- Detective Flannigan: I won't.
- Sally Reardon: It was just by accident, that she found out about it.
- Detective Flannigan: Found out about what?
- Sally Reardon: Oh, oh no. I couldn't betray her confidence. It's my girl scout training. Can you tie knots?
- Miss Jacobs - Reardon's Secretary: I, I don't mind anything, but your husband shouldn't have called me that name.
- Sally Reardon: What'd you call her, Bill?
- William 'Bill' Reardon: I didn't call her any name.
- Miss Jacobs - Reardon's Secretary: You did too. You called me a stenographer and I'm a private secretary.
- Sally Reardon: Are you angry at something, Bill?
- William 'Bill' Reardon: Me? Noooo. What have I to be angry about?
- Sally Reardon: Well, I don't know. You just look like you're ready to sock somebody in the jaw.
- William 'Bill' Reardon: Oh, no. I got over that an hour ago. Now I'm looking for an ax.
- Sally Reardon: [Having fallen back in her chair at the nightclub] Well, why don't ya pick me up, ya big lummox?
- William 'Bill' Reardon: I picked you up once - now look at me.
