• Gilda : Got a light?

  Uncle Pio : Yes, Mrs. Mundson. It is so crowded and yet so lonely, isn't it?

  Gilda : How did you know?

  Uncle Pio : You smoke too much. I've noticed. Only frustrated people smoke too much and only lonely people are frustrated.

  Uncle Pio : A harpy.

  Johnny Farrell : How would you classify me?

  Uncle Pio : [looks at the tip he was given]  Peasant.

• Uncle Pio : Your shoes.

  Johnny Farrell : About time.

  Uncle Pio : Do you wish me to put them on your feet?

  Uncle Pio : All bad things end up lonely, little one.

  Gilda : I know that, don't I. Keep your silly epigrams to yourself, can't you.
