Quotes 

• Kay Curtis : [Referring to note in envelope]  It's for us all right. It says "for the g.d. sisters." I don't know if he means gold diggers or another well-known word.

• June Dale : What now?

  Kay Curtis : There's an old saying - when one fish gets away, bait your hook for another one.

  June Dale : I don't quite get you.

  Kay Curtis : You're the bait. Before the sun sinks in the good old west, we'll bait another one.

• Kay Curtis : [Handing him back a gun]  Thanks for the use of your bean shooter, Pop.

  Detective Chief J.T. McDonald : Too bad you're a woman. You'd make a great copper.

• Kay Curtis : Well, children, old lady Kay is going to hit the hay. You better grab a few winks yourself kid, that midnight jewelry's beginning to show under the eyes.

• Kay Curtis : [to June]  I always knew you were jailbait.

• Kenneth Van Dusen : Golddigger, huh? I never had any use for golddiggers.

  Kay Curtis : Anybody can see that. You're too smart.

  Kenneth Van Dusen : Any man who lets a girl make a fool out of him, deserves it.

• Kay Curtis : Oh, working for a living is old fashioned. But, then, on the other hand, so is starving to death.

• Kay Curtis : Burn my clothes, here I come. Ha!

  [rolls dice] 

• June Dale : Would I like to own him. Mmmm.

  Kay Curtis : Some days, he certainly tumbled into the sugar barrel.

• Kay Curtis : Gee, the gigolo business must be good these days when you lose track of your own sweetheart.

• Kay Curtis : Leave it lay! I'm coming up for more punishment. Come on, dice, sizzle over your great big sister. Ha-chi!

  [rolls dice] 

• Kay Curtis : Be good to me bones. What about those seven big black eyes? Ha-chi!

  [rolls dice] 

• Kay Curtis : Just once more! Double or nothing. Double or nothing. Fourteen hundred dollars and I'll buy Champagne. I'll buy enough Champagne to take a bath in. Come on, dice, Champagne for Mama! Ha-chi!

• Kay Curtis : Why, that moth-eaten little skirt!

• Kay Curtis : Snake eyes. Wouldn't that frost your grandmother's cake?

• Kay Curtis : Get hot dice. Keep Mama outta jail. Ha!

  [rolls dice] 

• Kay Curtis : Well, I'll be a horse's pinfeathers.

• Kay Curtis : Well, that's life for you. Daisies and clover, we're out in the weeds.

• Kay Curtis : Oh, forget her - and him, too. I never saw you act this way before. After all, you only met him once - in an elevator. And you can't do much in an elevator.

• June Dale : Can you imagine him having a chauffeur?

  Kay Curtis : Oh, who hasn't?

  June Dale : We haven't.

  Kay Curtis : Look in your stocking around Christmastime. You'll find one.

• Kay Curtis : His name is Raymond Fox and he's Daisy's ex-jellybean.

• June Dale : Her husband is offering $25,000 reward for her return.

  Kay Curtis : Huh! I'd get him six like her for $10 a piece.

• Kay Curtis : Hey, listen, you offered this reward and we're trying to help you out. Now, if you don't like that, go fry an egg.

• Kay Curtis : [sitting in jail]  Hey, you know what I think?

  June Dale : Please, don't think. One more thought out of you and we'll be electrocuted.

• Kay Curtis : He's up there pacing back-n-forth, just achin' to give away 25,000 cartwheels and here we sit and say no dessert.

• June Dale : This life of leisure isn't all its cracked up to be. I wish I'd been in the chorus where I belong.

  Kay Curtis : You know, June, sometimes I almost suspect you got an honest streak somewhere in your system.

• Kay Curtis : There's something haywire about this. Looks like a fake to me!

• Kay Curtis : Now, don't slap me down when I spring this on you, but, all gold diggers are the same. That is, all except myself. I'm human. I got a heart.

• Kay Curtis : It's as clear as my baby blue eyes.

• Kay Curtis : If Daisy thought you were dead, she'd be the happiest widow in 48 states.

• Kay Curtis : I'll bet you money, marbles, or chalk.

• Kay Curtis : Hey, how 'bout flopping here for the night. You've got a spare room, haven't ya?

• June Dale : Who in the world are you calling?

  Kay Curtis : Now, don't bother Mother when she's making business.

• Kay Curtis : There's no use my telling you anything. I tried to get you to listen to me the last time I was here and you acted like a dog catcher.

• Kay Curtis : [on the phone]  Spiegalheimer!

  Nurse : I'm sorry, I didn't get the name.

  Kay Curtis : I'll spell it for you.

  June Dale : It'll take at least a year.

  Kay Curtis : S as in sardines. P as in peanuts. I as in indigestion. E as in elephant. G as in gosh. A as in adenoids. L as in lumbago. H as in hotcha. Another E. Oh, yes, that makes two elephants...

• June Dale : Have you gone crazy?

  Kay Curtis : Certainly! I've always been crazy.

• Kay Curtis : You tell him June. There's something about me that makes him bark.
