Orville Smithers : Sorry, honey, I guess you're not the type.
Rebecca Winstead : I can change my type. I'm very self-reliant.
Harry Kipper : But you didn't even let her finish her song!
Orville Smithers : The chief said he heard enough, and he's the one giving orders around here.
Harry Kipper : All right, but you're passing up the most colossal, the most...
Rebecca Winstead : You told him that once before, Uncle Harry, and it didn't do any good.

Orville Smithers : Gee, that was a swell program, wasn't it?
Gwen Warren : Yes, it was.
Orville Smithers : Wasn't she wonderful?
Gwen Warren : Rebecca's all right.
Orville Smithers : Oh, yes, she is, but I meant Lola. Gosh, she's sweet.
Gwen Warren : So it's like that, is it?
Orville Smithers : Well, only on my side. She's crazy about the chief.
Gwen Warren : Oh, really?
Orville Smithers : Gee, he's a lucky guy. He gets everything he wants.

Tony Kent : Do you realize if we don't find that kid, Bartlett cancels everything?
Lola Lee : Careful, Tony. Remember your apoplexy. I gotta run, darling. Goodbye, Casanova.
Orville Smithers : Goodbye, Lola.
Tony Kent : I gotta hand it to you, Orville. I've been out on a limb before, but I never had a guy behind me sawing it off. You realize we're on the worst spot of the century?
Orville Smithers : You've got nothing to worry about, chief. We got the kid's address.
Tony Kent : You have?
Orville Smithers : Of course. We got all their addresses.
-
Tony Kent : I'm going up to my farm where I can relax. Birds, trees, new-mown hay, the simple life, that's what I need. Oh, and when you find that kid, be sure to get that contract signed. Pay her anything she wants. Well, within reason. And if you make any mistakes, I'll tear your head off and use it for a doorstop.
Orville Smithers : Okay, chief, you know me.
Tony Kent : Yes, and I'm still regretting it.

Rebecca Winstead : Goodbye, Tony. I wish I could sing to you over the telephone like I did to Mr. Bartlett.
Gwen Warren : Tony, why not?
Tony Kent : What do you mean?
Gwen Warren : Broadcast from here! It's possible, isn't it?
Tony Kent : Yes, it could be done by remote control.
Orville Smithers : Sure, chief, we could run the wires like we did on the courthouse. Then the kid could stay in the program.
Gwen Warren : Please let's try it. With all her talent, Rebecca deserves a chance.
Rebecca Winstead : Oh, Tony, please do!
Tony Kent : It's insane, but I don't see why it won't work. Uh-oh. What about Aunt Miranda?
Gwen Warren : We won't tell her. You can count on us to keep her in the dark.

Tony Kent : You did find that kid all right, didn't you?
Orville Smithers : Well, chief, it's this way. The detectives...
Tony Kent : Did you find her?
Orville Smithers : Don't get excited. There are a lot of other kids.
Tony Kent : Quit stalling. What's happened?
Orville Smithers : Well, chief, I lost Little Miss America.
Tony Kent : What? What do you mean you lost her?
Orville Smithers : It's not our fault. We went to her address, and the kid had gone. I tell you, we even hired detectives. That kid has vanished from the face of the earth.
