  Tony Baker : I don't dig it?

  Mr. Robinson : Oh, I see. Dig me. I have no objection to your hip talk or hep talk or whatever its called at the moment. But, in my office lets talk just plain old fashioned English. It'll help us to understand each other.

• Gwen Dulaine : I hate to think of you running around all by your lonely.

  Gwen Dulaine : That's why I worry. Thinking of you coming up against those young, tight sweaters.

  Tony Baker : You ought to know.

• Gwen Dulaine : Stop treating me like a stranger. With Vic out of town, its lonely. Relatives should always *kiss* each other hello and goodbye, polite like.

  Tony Baker : You're gettin' paid for my room and board.

  Gwen Dulaine : But not enough.

  [moves in for a kiss] 

• Tony Baker : Mary Jane's a crazy name. It just makes me frantic. Mary Jane, we've got to get together sometime and have a ball. What do you say doll?

• Tony Baker : Who are you afraid of? Me or yourself? You don't have to worry. I'll see that you behave yourself.

• Tony Baker : You know, that Joan's a sick girl. You know what I mean, don't you, weed-head.

• Joan Staples : Petey said you were good people.

  Tony Baker : I know what's happening.

  Joan Staples : I'm dying to blast, but, I'm clean. How about it Tony, you holding?

  Tony Baker : Sorry, doll. I'm trying to make a connection myself. See, I've got the gold, but, no connection.

• Tony Baker : Come on, give me a chance to score.

  Joan Staples : Come here.

• Tony Baker : The fuzz just came in. Don't you feel the heat?

• Tony Baker : Joan told me that you could straighten me out. See, I wanna score like the Yanks.

  Jukey Judlow : Joan told you?

  Tony Baker : Yeah, she said you and Mary Jane were goin' steady.

• Tony Baker : Okay, doll, out.

  Joan Staples : You think I"m chicken like the others? Let's roll!

• J. I. Coleridge : You sure got the bread, brother.

  Tony Baker : There's a lot more too. If you just help me get some - some H, some coke, some goofballs.

• Tony Baker : Hey, you torchin' up? Now, look, don't be a drag, Kitten. We don't wanna get caught with a reefer again. I had enough of the pokey and all that jazz.

  Joan Staples : I"ll get my kicks out of you.

  [kiss] 

• Tony Baker : I was just joy poppin'. I'm not a habit man.
