• Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson : I'm all washed up.

  Walter Burns : What's that?

  Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson : I mean it this time, Walter.

  Peggy Grant : Oh, Hildy, if I only thought you did!

  Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson : If I'm not telling you the absolute truth, may I fall dead. I'm going to New York tonight with you, if you give me one last chance. I'm going to cut out drinking and swearing and everything connected with the crazy newspaper business! Honey, I'll never even read a newspaper.

• Peggy Grant : Every time I've wanted you for something, my birthday, New Year's Eve when I waited up till five in the morning...

  Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson : Oh, I know, but a big story broke.

  Peggy Grant : It's always a big story. The biggest story in the world. Then, the next day, everybody's forgotten it. Even you.

  Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson : Oh, what do you mean, forgotten. That was the Clara Hammond murder on your birthday.
