  Flo : So am I - singing ballads to a lot of clucks with sleeping sickness.

  Dot : What makes it hard is I've got to be a Marilyn Miller and a Sophie Tucker all in one - for $30 a week.

• Flo : Honey, you were wonderful. I was watchin' those old geezers out there.

  Dot : I was a little nervous. Did you see them stare?

  Flo : Stare? Say, some of those bald heads sprouted hair when they saw you.

• Dot : She's so old!

  Flo : Say, there's nothing age put on that old dame that gold dust can't wipe off.

• Dot : Flo, I've laid on my back on every floor in this hotel.

• Dot : A poor man hasn't got a chance with us.

  Flo : A sucker don't deserve one and a sport always takes a chance. Come on, honey. Put on your pretty pretties, while Mama goes bye-bye, and finds something for baby to play with.
