Quotes 

• Danny Jones : Gee I can't eat, I can't sleep. Why I've gone around all day with nobody in my head but you.

  Blondie Johnson : Bet you had a tough time getting your hat over both of us.

  Danny Jones : Well you make me sick. If you was my dame I'd break your neck.

  Blondie Johnson : If I was your dame I'd deserve it.

• Blondie Johnson : I hope you'll notice I don't take a back seat when it comes to boiling coffee.

  Danny Jones : You don't take a back seat when comes to anything boiling.

• Danny's Secretary : Well, I hope you're satisfied! You found him undressed, didn't you?

  Blondie Johnson : Tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut. You peeked.

• Red : You got a swell head on your shoulders.

  Blondie Johnson : Another thing, Red, always see that you just admire my head.

  Red : Oh, I ain't dumb. I can see the hand-writin' on the ceiling.

• Welfare Interviewer : Where did you last work?

  Blondie Johnson : In a laundry on 14th Street. The Star Laundry. But, that was four months ago. I haven't been able to get any kind of work since.

  Welfare Interviewer : Laid off?

  Blondie Johnson : I - I quit.

  Welfare Interviewer : Oh, yes? Why?

  Blondie Johnson : I had to. The boss wouldn't let me alone. He...

  Welfare Interviewer : So, you quit! That's all for now, Miss Johnson.

• Blondie Johnson : Money - that's all I've ever heard. Money!

  A.I. Frankel, Attorney : Certainly. The ones that have it - have it. And the ones who don't - don't.

• Red : What's the idea? Who are you?

  Blondie Johnson : Santa Claus. I had my face lifted and my beard growing under my hat.

• Blondie Johnson : Listen, Red, this city is going to be my oyster and if you stick with me, you're going to help me open it.

• Blondie Johnson : As soon as I was old enough, I quit school and got a job at a laundry and worked with a bunch of ignorant foreigners. I got fired because I wouldn't let a filthy old muzzler put his hands on me.

• Blondie Johnson : I know all the answers - and I know what it's all about. I found out the only thing worthwhile is dough! And I'm gonna get it, see!

• Blondie Johnson : This city's gonna pay me a livin'. A good livin'! And its gonna get back from me, just as little as I have to give.

• Danny Jones : What are you trying to do? Put ideas in my head?

  Blondie Johnson : There's certainly plenty of room for 'em.

• Blondie Johnson : Kiss me, you lug.

• Blondie Johnson : Say, who's the dame with the platinum chassis?

• Blondie Johnson : Would you like to dance?

  Al Scannel : If you're not afraid.

  Blondie Johnson : Of who?

  Al Scannel : You're marvelous.

• Danny Jones : I like you, see.

  Blondie Johnson : Ah-ah, big boy. The ride's over. You keep your own seat.

  Danny Jones : Ah, but listen kid...

  Blondie Johnson : I started to, but you do all your talkin' with your hands.

  Danny Jones : You mean to tell me you just brought me here for coffee?

  Blondie Johnson : I brought you here for business. But, you don't seem to be able to keep your mind on it.

  Danny Jones : Well, what's on your mind?

  Blondie Johnson : Something a lot more important than is on yours!

  Danny Jones : All right, baby. I'm sorry. I'll lay off the finger exercises. From now on, I'll be colder around you than a monkey's nose.

• Danny Jones : I like you too much to let you fool yourself. Max is on to you. He don't like you at all. He told me to drop you.

  Blondie Johnson : Drop me?

  Danny Jones : Yeah. He thinks you're too smart. I ain't got any use for dames without ears.

• Blondie Johnson : We're out for the big stuff and we'll take everything that goes with it.

• Blondie Johnson : My, ain't you dolled up. New suit, shoes and tie.

• Blondie Johnson : Can't you see? Can't you get it through your head that whenever a man falls there's always a dame at the bottom of it? Look at Joe with Lulu, Eddie with Mae. Both those guys would go far but they got a couple of dames slowin' 'em up.

  Danny Jones : They may be goin' slower, but they're havin' a better time on the way. Oh, listen, kid, we're in the fast game, see. It don't last long. Can't we have a little fun before its all over?

• Mae : Why don't give him a tumble?

  Blondie Johnson : Maybe I got reasons.

  Mae : Who are they?

  Blondie Johnson : Ah, I don't mean that. I like him better than anybody, see. But, I got plans. Big plans! And the one thing that don't fit in with 'em is pants.

• Danny Jones : All right, kid, if you ain't gonna wise up.

  Blondie Johnson : Why don't you wise up? Why don't you stick a pin in that puffed-up head of yours and come down to earth?
