  Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : Oh, that's different. Come on, ladies. Come with Papa.

• Mary Magiz : You, pig! Look at my stockings. My best French imported stockings! You ruined them. Just look at them!

• Mary Magiz : Are you trying to tell me Mr. Magiz is not a wealthy man?

• Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : I hate to see you get mixed up with a gang of gorillas.

• Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : I'm just Office Boy, see. Everything the name implies. I'm just his body guard to keep the other mobs from shootin' him up. I haven't got any part of Shoots racket.

  Mary Magiz : What are you here for?

  Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : Five hundred bucks a month. Only I don't save all that, see. Now, last month I only saved 465. This, eh, suit sent me back 35 bucks.

• Mary Magiz : [sarcastically]  Go on, tell me the story of your life. I'm dying to hear it.

  Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : Yeah? Well, when I was six years old, my father bought me a lollipop, you see. One of those big, all-day, suckers. A little gal I was crazy about ran away with it. And I learned about women - from her.

  Mary Magiz : Well, your lollipops will be safe with me.

• Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : Let me give you a little tip. When you get a flock of jewels from Shoots - blow.

• Mary Magiz : [walks in on Office Boy in his underwear, pressing his pants]  Well!

  Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : Next time, knock. Sometimes I take a bath, too.

• Mary Magiz : Office Boy, I don't think we'll need you any more.

  Mary Magiz : A champagne cocktail, please!

  Waiter : Yes, ma'am.

  Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : Well, I don't know about me; but, you sure are common.

• Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : Try to remember that Shoots is in a better world.

  Mary Magiz : Oh, he was such a lovely man. So gentle. He was like a big dog around the house.

  Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : Yes. Yes. I know just how you feel. I had a Pekingese once that was run over.

• Mirabelle : Does he really know anything about horses?

  Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : Oh, he sure does! He's lost a fortune on 'em.

• Mary Magiz : You think I'm just a digger.

• Mary Magiz : If you'll call the minister, this is still your room...

  Jimmie 'Office Boy' Burnham : I wouldn't waste a nickel on a phone call!
