Jimmy Dolan : Don't forget, we've got another radio audition tomorrow. You know, this radio racket is a lot harder than Vaudeville used to be. Remember when we got married?
Jerry Dolan : No, and don't remind me. By the way, I'm getting tired of these radio auditions. If we don't land a job soon, I'm going home to my mother.
Jerry Dolan : Well, that's better than bringing the old bat here.

Jimmy Dolan : Tony, who is she?
Tony : She's an orphan, I tell-a you! She run away, and she a-follow me here.
Jimmy Dolan : Jerry, she's a natural. Look at her! Did you ever see a better bet?
Jerry Dolan : Who is she?
Jimmy Dolan : She's part of our act, Dolan, Dolan, & Dolan. What's your name?
Barbara Barry : Betsy Weir. Are you Puddin'-Head?
Jerry Dolan : I'll say he's Puddin'-Head. What's this all about?
Jimmy Dolan : That kid's a novelty, just what we need for our new act.
Jerry Dolan : Are you crazy? What do you know about the child?
Jimmy Dolan : Everything there is to know. She ran away from an orphan asylum.
Jerry Dolan : Orphan asylum, your aunt. Did you notice her hands? Well, they don't manicure them at an orphan asylum.
Jimmy Dolan : I don't know. A buddy of mine got his hair cut in Sing Sing.

Jimmy Dolan : Now, listen, sweetheart, remember, you're Bonnie Dolan, the radio star. Don't use your real name around here. Don't even think about it. Just forget that you're Betsy Weir.
Barbara Barry : Are we playing a game?

Barbara Barry : I like games.
Jerry Dolan : Now, don't forget, Betsy.
Barbara Barry : The name's Bonnie Dolan.

Jimmy Dolan : Listen, darling, tell us the truth. Do you know Mr. Barry?
Barbara Barry : You won't be angry if I tell you?
Jerry Dolan : No, sweetheart.
Barbara Barry : Mr. Barry's my daddy!
Jerry Dolan : Didn't I tell you she didn't jump out of a hat? There's only one thing to do. Take her back to the apartment, telephone Barry where she is, and then duck.

Jimmy Dolan : Suppose the kid's story does turn out to be a phony? So we believed her. So we fed her, took good care of her, and put her on the air. They can hang you for that, can they?
Jerry Dolan : They can try.

Dan Ward : This client of mine, the one I was telling you about...

Jimmy Dolan : Didn't I tell you all we needed was a break? Thirteen weeks on the dotted line, signed and sealed.
Jerry Dolan : Oh, it's wonderful, Jimmy. I just hope we click.
Jimmy Dolan : Oh, we'll knock 'em dead.
Barbara Barry : Do we have to kill people?
Jimmy Dolan : Oh, we won't kill them, we'll just slay 'em.

Jimmy Dolan : My goodness, she sneezed! Get a doctor, quick! Maybe we should put her to bed. Maybe we should...

Barbara Barry : Danke schön!

Jerry Dolan : You know, we're a couple of heels, running out on the kid like this.
Jimmy Dolan : I know, but...
Jerry Dolan : Yeah, and a couple of crooks, too.
Jimmy Dolan : You're right. Everybody knows Dolan & Dolan, and they know we had the kid.
Jerry Dolan : Yeah, and if we run away, it'll look worse.
Jimmy Dolan : Let's go back and face them.

Barbara Barry : [singing on the radio] An ordinary day becomes a holiday when I'm with you.
Richard Barry : It can't be! Her voice is just like Barbara's! If I didn't know my child was at school... I'd swear...
Margaret Allen : All children's voices sound a lot alike. It's just that slight difference that makes Bonnie stand out. A proud father probably wouldn't even notice that difference.
Barbara Barry : [on the radio] Marry me, and let me be your wife!
Richard Barry : It is Barbara! I'm telling you, it's Barbara!
Margaret Allen : Are you losing your mind? That's Bonnie Dolan!
Richard Barry : I tell you, it's my daughter!
Barbara Barry : [on the radio] Even funny spinach takes like pumpkin pie when I'm with you.
Margaret Allen : You're just making a complete idiot of yourself. I know the child and I know her parents!
Richard Barry : But, I'm her parent!
Jimmy Dolan : Listen, darling, tell us the truth. Do you know Mr. Barry?
Barbara Barry : You won't be angry if I tell you?
Jerry Dolan : No, sweetheart.
Barbara Barry : Mr. Barry's my daddy!
Jerry Dolan : Didn't I tell you she didn't jump out of a hat? There's only one thing to do. Take her back to the apartment, telephone Barry where she is, and then duck.

Barbara Barry : Didn't he like what we did?
Jimmy Dolan : Sure he did. I guess he's just going in the next room to applaud.
Barbara Barry : But you said we were good.
Jerry Dolan : Never pay any attention to what he says.
