Quotes 

• Ruth Edley : Why I'm so crazy about you, I don't know, but I intend to find out tonight.

• Ruth Edley : I'm Ruth Edley. Remember? I'm the girl you were supposed to have a heavy date at 8 o'clock last night.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Oh, I wasn't sure you were expecting me.

  Ruth Edley : What do I have to do to expect you? I soaked myself in $12 worth of perfume, spent 40 minutes getting into that *terrific* black dress, and put on a new lipstick that even *taste* good. Then, I turned on your favorite phonograph record and sat with the front door open for three and a half hours.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Oh, I'm sorry Ruth, I...

  Ruth Edley : Well, make it the same time tonight and I'll have a great big hello kiss waiting for you.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : I think maybe I better not.

  Ruth Edley : Sure you better not. But, won't it be fun?

• Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : I wouldn't be a good husband to anybody. I'd probably chase around other women.

  Ruth Edley : Not if you're married to me, you won't.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : I-yi yi-yi yi...

• Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Honest, I'm crazy about you; but, how do I know whether or not I want to get married?

  Ruth Edley : Come on around tonight and I'll show you.

• Dr. Leonard B. Gillespie : Well, honey, what can I do for you? What do you want?

  Ruth Edley : Red Adams. Every time I hold his hand, he cries like a baby; but, he won't kiss me and get himself hooked.

  Dr. Leonard B. Gillespie : Well, bust my britches.

• Ruth Edley : Good morning, good looking.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Oh, how are you?

  Ruth Edley : I need a doctor and *your* the doctor.

• Ruth Edley : Mister, you look wonderful.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Will you behave.

  Ruth Edley : Not if I can help it.

• Ruth Edley : Eight o'clock. In case I'm not ready, I'll leave the front door open. But, be sure to lock it as soon as you get in.

• Ruth Edley : The fortune teller was right. She said I'd *get* you on the fourteenth try.

• Ruth Edley : How do you like my dress? And it doesn't wrinkle easily.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Oh, brother.

  Ruth Edley : I had it made for a purpose. And you're the purpose. How about some food? Or, would you like a kiss first.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : It's kinda warm in here, isn't it...

• Ruth Edley : Red, look at me. Don't you like me?

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Oh, Ruth, you're the most gorgeous creature that ever walked the face of the earth and I'm goofy about you.

• Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Ruth, will you stop having a one track mind.

  Ruth Edley : Stop trying to get off the track - and kiss me.

• Ruth Edley : Now, what was it we were celebrating the anniversary of that we didn't do then, but, we're going to do now?

• Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : What's a guy going to do? I'll tell you what he's going to do. He's going to grab the girl...

  Ruth Edley : Grab, brother, grab.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Holy smoke.

• Ruth Edley : I knew I could change your mind and I haven't even started yet.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Okay, lady, I'll give you something to start with.

• Ruth Edley : Hello, Red. People are looking, so, go ahead and kiss me.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Please.

  Ruth Edley : Why not? Most men think I'm sensational and I am. Wouldn't you like a chance to find out?

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : I-yi yi-yi yi...

  Ruth Edley : Stop, moaning and kiss me. You're going to like it!

• Ruth Edley : This is really it, is it. Finie, la guerre.

  Dr. Randall 'Red' Adams : Yep.

  Ruth Edley : Well, I tried.
