• Flo : You'll be sorry when we leave. This joint'll be like a rehearsal hall for echos.

• Flo : Ouch! Gee! Oh! Oh! I pull enough hairs from my eyebrows to stuff a pair of twin beds.

• Flo : Say, if that rooster invites you out to dinner, say yes for me too. I can go for Chicken à la King like nobody's business.

• [first lines] 

  Dot : Gee, this is a nothin'. I'm getting so tired of it.

  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 : Don't listen to that guy. If he went to the circus he'd squawk because the bearded lady didn't shave.

• Flo : I'm not shootin' bows and arrows at love. I think next to a big fat bankroll, a nice hot lover is the finest thing in the world.

• 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.

• Flo : Now, get your pick and shovel cause the gold rush is on.

  [winks her eye and spanks Dot in the behind] 

• Flo : Nothing's impossible! Where there's a will, there's a sucker. We must find our first sucker.

• Dot : She's so old!

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

• Flo : Listen, sister, never leave for tomorrow what you can take today. Come on, we'll shoot the whole works.

• Flo : You're beautiful, dangerous, and willing.

• 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.
