• Crystal Allen : I'm having him dine at my place. It's about time he found out I was a home girl.

  Pat : A home girl? Get her! Why don't you borrow the quintuplets for the evening?

  Crystal Allen : Because I'm all the baby he wants, pet.

• Lulu : Will I find anything in that ice box of yours?

  Pat : Yeah, cobwebs and a bottle of gin.

• Crystal Allen : [answering phone]  Hello? Oh, hello, Stephen.

  [surprised] 

  Crystal Allen : What? Well uh... Don't worry, my sweet, I... Of course, I don't mind your breaking our engagement! Well, that is, I mind, of course, but it's such good discipline for my selfishness about you.

  Pat : Holy mackerel, what a line!

  Crystal Allen : [to Pat]  Shut up, will ya?

  Crystal Allen : [to Stephen]  Well, I, uh... I was going to surprise you tonight, darling, and... and cook dinner myself in my little apartment.

  [laughs] 

  Crystal Allen : Why, of course I can cook!

  Pat : She thinks because Lulu's dark, he wont be able to see her!

  Crystal Allen : [to Pat]  Shhh!

  Crystal Allen : [to Stephen]  Oh, well, you don't know half my accomplishments...

  Pat : I'll say he doesn't!

  Crystal Allen : [to Pat]  Will you get out of here?

  Crystal Allen : [to Stephen]  Oh... Oh, well, that's all right, Stephen; I'll save you a piece of the cake... with a candle on it. Ah, well, I didn't want to tell you before, Stephen, because I was afraid you might do something extravagant! Oh, it is dear of you to want to be with me on my birthday, but... I won't be lonely. No, honestly, I won't. And uh... if this weather lets up, my neuralgia will be better...

  [shaky voiced] 

  Crystal Allen : then maybe I can... Oh no! It's nothing. It's just nerves. I had a rather gloomy letter from home today. My little sister, she's not very well...

  Pat : What's wrong with her? She got a hangover?

  Crystal Allen : [ignoring Pat]  But she'll be all right. Yes, I... I'm holding the thought. Oh, no, Stephen! I couldn't think of your disarranging your evening! I'll have another birthday next year!

  Pat : You'll have another one next week!

  Crystal Allen : [to Pat]  Look, so help me, I'm gonna slug you!

  Crystal Allen : [to Stephen]  Oh, Stephen, if you could drop by for just a few moments and have a glass of sherry to my health. Oh, Stephen... Oh, I do need you so... Yes, dear... Yes, darling, I'll meet you on our corner in five minutes!

  [sends kisses into the phone] 

  Crystal Allen : Goodbye!

  [hangs up] 

  Crystal Allen : [to Pat]  Say, can you beat him? He almost stood me up for his wife!
