  [hiccups] 

  Jerry Dexter : calm your nerves.

  Cassie Barnes : Well there's nothing wrong with my nerves.

  Jerry Dexter : No?

  Cassie Barnes : No.

  Jerry Dexter : Well maybe you'd come with me. I need the air.

  Cassie Barnes : Yeah? Well I'm giving you the air.

• Jerry Dexter : Oh, go away, I hate blondes.

  Cassie Barnes : Well, I hate drunks; so, that makes us even.

• Cassie Barnes : What have you got against the world? It seems to be treating you all right.

  Jerry Dexter : I'm fed up. That's all. Fed up with - formal dinners, pompous butlers, and - and...

  Cassie Barnes : And blondes.

• Cassie Barnes : Say, was it a blonde that drove you to drink?

  Jerry Dexter : Oh, no. I don't need anybody to drive me to drink. I can do that myself.

• Cassie Barnes : It certainly must have been a wild party last night.

  Jerry Dexter : Oh, I don't know. I didn't stay there long. I ducked and spent the night in a speakeasy. I had to get away from those cackling women.

  [Falls on Cassie's lap] 

  Jerry Dexter : Oh, excuse me. I beg your pardon.

  Cassie Barnes : Well, don't tell me they were all blondes?

  Jerry Dexter : Did I say I hated blondes? Well, I was wrong! 'Cause I hate brunettes too! Yes, and redheads.

  Cassie Barnes : What have the poor things done to you?

• Jerry Dexter : Do you know what I'm going to do, the rest of my life?

  Cassie Barnes : No.

  Jerry Dexter : I'm going to spend the time looking for an honest woman. You think I'll ever find one?

  Cassie Barnes : No, never.

  Jerry Dexter : You're right! There ain't no such animal.

• Jerry Dexter : You know, you're quite a novelty. Most of the girls around here seem to spend their time competing to see who can get blotto first.

• Jerry Dexter : Well, you know, I like to get tight once in awhile.

  Cassie Barnes : Why?

  Jerry Dexter : Oh, it takes me to strange places, where I meet strange people. Like you - for instance.

  Cassie Barnes : Is that supposed to be a compliment?

• Jerry Dexter : Do you want to go out somewhere or prefer to sit around here and talk.

  Cassie Barnes : Sit around here and - talk? Can that be done?

• Jerry Dexter : Say, when do I get my Bromo-Seltzer?
