- Louise Baker: Mr. Allen is a very distinguished author.
- Tommy Allen: Hey, take it easy! I'm just a free-lance magazine hack. I get by on quantity, not quality.
- Tommy Allen: A story is a story, Mr. Mueller. I don't think my stuff will make anyone hate Germans... only Nazis - be they past or present.
- [singing in a hotel room]
- Biff Baker: Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
- Louise Baker: You're a fine one to mumble - we've never had a home.
- Louise Baker: Don't you ever get tired of living out of a suitcase?
- Biff Baker: Well, sometimes, but we have big suitcases.
- Biff Baker: Honey, I caught up with a letter from the folks last week. They said that little white house up in Connecticut still had a "For Sale" sign on it.
- Louise Baker: Honey, I don't want a house - I want a home... and that takes two people.
- Biff Baker: I haven't given you much a home life... dragging you onto planes and trains, hauling you from one hotel to another all over the world. I've often wondered how you could take it so long.
- Louise Baker: Because I'm lucky. Just think, half the people of the world would jump at the chance to travel like we do!
- Biff Baker: Maybe, but being on a permanent Cook's tour isn't really living.
- Louise Baker: But being together is.
- Biff Baker: We didn't see you at dinner.
- Senor Rodriguez: I was not hungry... headache.
- Louise Baker: That makes us even. You got yours before dinner.
- [discussing Senor Rodriguez]
- Tommy Allen: Kind of a queer duck, isn't he?
- Biff Baker: First importer I ever met that didn't want to talk shop.
- Louise Baker: Biff, there's something wrong with that man. He gives me the creeps.
- Biff Baker: Well, he's no beauty.
- Louise Baker: He has the face of a man that could commit murder.
- Tommy Allen: Hey, you two sound like a couple of mystery writers! Quit poaching - that's my racket.
- Tommy Allen: How about a game of three-handed cards.
- Biff Baker: Your deck I suppose?
- Tommy Allen: Well, naturally. You don't think I make a living writing, do you?
