Quotes 

• Kitty Lane : [waiting on David at the diner]  ... How come *you* never annoyed me?

  David Livingston : Well, I don't like to compete with the whole college.

  Kitty Lane : If I owned this joint I'd bust ya in the nose for that.

  David Livingston : [looking up from the book he has been studying]  Yes, and if I were your brother instead of a customer here, I'd spank you. I'd like to finish this chapter.

  Kitty Lane : Well, go ahead, finish it someplace else where they burn incense or something.

  David Livingston : Alright, I will. I don't like this place anyhow. You may be hot, but the coffee's cold.

  [gets up to leave] 

  David Livingston : Keep the change.

  Kitty Lane : [throws David's coin on the floor; then, under her breath:]  Pinhead .... Nitwit ....

  Kitty Lane : [finds his hat on the chair]  Hey, you forgot your hat.

  [runs after him] 

  Kitty Lane : Hey stupid, you forgot your hat!

• Kitty Lane : [Reading the title of David's textbook]  What's anatomy?

  David Livingston : The study of the human body.

  Kitty Lane : Mmm. All in one volume? Your boyfriends are not satisfied just to read about it.

  David Livingston : So I noticed. I can't blame them.

  Kitty Lane : Why not?

  David Livingston : Well, what you don't ask for, you don't get.

  Kitty Lane : That shapes up like a dig. A nasty, filthy, dig.

  David Livingston : You asked for it.

• David Livingston : Well, what have you been doin'?

  Kitty Lane : Oh, nothin' much.

  David Livingston : Seems you've been holding out on me, what's this?

  [Picks up a notepad from Kitty's desk] 

  Kitty Lane : Now, you keep away from there.

  David Livingston : A love letter.

  [Reading words on the notepad] 

  David Livingston : Eleemosynary. Elective. Ejaculate. Taking your "e"'s I see.

  Kitty Lane : You're not the only one who has a right to an education. If there's anything that makes me mad, it has someone using a word that I don't understand.

• David Livingston : I imagine you're lonesome yourself sometimes.

  Kitty Lane : Oh, no, I have plenty of company. Men flock around here quite a bit.

  David Livingston : Oh, I can't blame them for that.

  Kitty Lane : Although not as much as they might. Wives are so apt to be narrow-minded.
