- Martha Pease: [singing] He was caught in the wreck with his hand on the throttle, And was scalded to death by the steam, Beep! Beep!
- Harry James: [pinning a medal on Lola's chest] I hope this gives you as much pleasure as it does me.
- Oliver M. Pease: The question for today is very interesting: what influence did a baby ever have on your life?
- Slim: Did you say baby?
- Bookie: He said baby.
- Lank: [imitating the Bookie's gravelly-sounding voice] You said, he said baby. But did he say, he said baby?
- Slim: I thought I heard somebody say baby. Lank, does that word ring a familiar chord to you? Something like this.

- Slim: Baby made a change in me...
- Oliver M. Pease: When is the common man going to catch up to your style of painting?
- Martha Pease: You just did.
- Oliver M. Pease: In spite of your insults, I love you wit, I love your paintings, but, most of all, I love - your coffee.
- Lank: Are you - do you have to wear the bathing suit for the contest?
- Slim: You see, the bathing suit isn't quite professional enough. You see?
- Lank: Besides, you might catch cold.
- Lola Maxim: I'll wear a little simple thing my mother made.
- Ashton Carrington: I have the perfect costume for you. Three of these make a sarong.
- Gloria Manners: Sarong?
- Ashton Carrington: Yeah. Did you ever wear a sarong?
- Gloria Manners: [singing] She's the Queen of the Hollywood Islands, Since they photographed her wearing a sarong, She's never even seen Tahiti, Still she's the big Tahitian sweetie, From wearin' her shirt short and her lashes long...
- Ashton Carrington: Yes, I think the talkies are just a passing fad. What experience have you had?
- Gloria Manners: I ran an elevator at Marshall Field's.
- Ashton Carrington: Yes, I think I saw that. Very good picture.
- Martha Pease: Well, if you can't speak Oliver, will you bark or nod or something?

- Martha Pease: Good!
- Eli Hobbs: No, no! And you can keep your foundation outta this thing. I wouldn't take him back for a thousand dollars.
- Al: Couldn't you make it five - oh, you said you wouldn't take him back.
- Eli Hobbs: Yes, that's why I'm idiocentric. That's why I'm cuckoo. That's why - ever since I inherited that little savage, I'm going outta my mind. I'm going cuckoo! Cuckoo. Cuckoo.
- Floyd: Look, Al, I've watched you outsmart some of the sharpest monkeys in the business; but, with this kid, you're up against a junior genius.
- Al: Floyd, there's one thought that haunts me worst than death.
- Floyd: What?
- Al: That maybe the kid's been lying all along. Maybe his uncle hasn't got any money.
- Floyd: Maybe there ain't even an uncle.
- Al: Don't say that.
- Floyd: What kind of eggs are those?
- Edgar Hobbs - aka Sniffles Dugan: Chicken eggs! What do you think?
