Allie Walker
- Allie Walker: You've had a drink.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: It's a free country.
- Allie Walker: There is such a thing as prohibition.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: All right, so it isn't a free country. Let's drink to that, and to the republic for which it stands.
- Allie Walker: [At ethnic Latvian dinner] Have some Jell-O. You always could talk your way out of anything.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: I'm giving up politics and I'm going back into show business.
- Allie Walker: You don't know the difference.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: Does anybody?
- Allie Walker: Chris Nolan phoned me.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: From my phone, no doubt.
- Allie Walker: Sometimes you have to play along to get ahead.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: Why get ahead?
- Allie Walker: You haven't changed, have you?
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: No, I'm still the fun-loving rover boy.
- Allie Walker: A lot of people think our marriage broke up because there weren't any children. But they were wrong. There was always one around the house.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: And now you wanna turn him into a man.
- Allie Walker: Why not? He'll never make a husband.
- Allie Walker: Aren't you taking a lot for granted? You didn't get enough votes to carry the bedroom - not for a while.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: I thought once I was mayor, I'd be off probation. You holding out for the presidency?
- Allie Walker: So, why don't you go back to your girlfriends - Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens?
- Allie Walker: Did it ever occur to you, Mr. Walker, that some people are kind because they wanna be? They don't expect to be paid for it.
- Allie Walker: [to Jimmy, before he leaves their dinner table to take the stage] Jim, suppose I ask you not to go up there?
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: What?
- Allie Walker: Just leave New York with me now, and open up a grocery store somewhere. What would you... what would you say?
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: Leave New York? Where else is there?
- Allie Walker: Is it possible that you could be married to a man for 18 years and still no know him?
- Chris Nolan: Well, of course he was never home much.
- Allie Walker: Whose fault was that?
- Chris Nolan: It's always the woman's.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: Have you thought over what I asked?
- Allie Walker: No divorce. We were both married in the Church. We knew it was for life. Still is for me.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: Ours hasn't been a marriage for years, and you know it.
- Allie Walker: I haven't interfered in your personal life, have I, Jim? Don't destroy your public life.
- Mayor James J. 'Jimmy' Walker: [Appearing with his wife at the Albany hearing on his corruption charges] You're a brave girl, Allie.
- Allie Walker: You're a lot of things, and I've called you all of them. But you're not a thief, and I'll fight any who says... .
- Allie Walker: You never know what you're going to do until you do it. You've lived your whole life off the cuff.
