Dehlia Flagg : [after divulging the 'accident' involving the Hudson sisters] So the fine woman you've chosen to run around with turns out to be broke and a murderer as well!
Edwin Flagg : I see!
Dehlia Flagg : Well, it's true!
Edwin Flagg : All right then, if it's true I'll ask her about it when I see her again. How's that?
Dehlia Flagg : You wouldn't see a woman like that again!
Edwin Flagg : Why not, you just told me she's got a rich sister.
Dehlia Flagg : Yeah, but there's the worst of it yet!
Edwin Flagg : [sarcastically] You mean there's more?
Dehlia Flagg : Yes, there is. After she run down her sister, your precious Jane Hudson ran off and left her there to die like some poor animal. She ran off and disappeared for three whole days!
Edwin Flagg : Oh? What happened then? Don't tell me they couldn't find her.
Dehlia Flagg : Oh, they found her all right. They found her all right! They found her in some hotel room with some man she'd never even seen before!
Edwin Flagg : WELL, WHY SHOULD THAT UPSET YOU?
[storms out]
Edwin Flagg : Isn't that how I was conceived?
-
Jane : I'll bring in some tea. You like tea?
Edwin Flagg : Oh, yes. I'm quite fond of tea. You must have guessed that I'm English.
Jane : Oh, really? How nice for you.
-
Edwin Flagg : Oh, do you mean you're really - the - Baby Jane Hudson?
Jane : Yes, I am! And I'm going to revive my act exactly as I used to do it. Of course, some of the arrangements will have to be brought up-to-date. Music changes so much, doesn't it? And you know they're desperate for new acts: television, Las Vegas, and all the clubs. Well, there are a lot of people who remember me. Lots of them!
Edwin Flagg : I don't see how you could fail.

[Jane has just finished singing as an adult]
Jane : [happily] You certainly can play, can't you?
Edwin Flagg : [proudly] And you *certainly can* sing!
-
Dehlia Flagg : Now, listen, I won't let on who I am. You see, I'll just tell 'em I'm Mr. Flagg's sec-e-tary.
Edwin Flagg : Secretary.
Dehlia Flagg : Sec-re-tary. Well, do you know, I do believe your old Mum would be a jolly good secretary, at that!
-
Jane : Dehlia? Who's Dehlia?
Edwin Flagg : You might not think it to look at her, but, she's my mother.
Jane : [laughs] Oh, for a minute I thought you had a wife or a lady friend tucked away somewhere.
Edwin Flagg : Oh, no! No. Oh, no. Nothing like that.
-
Jane : I wonder if you can guess who I am?
Edwin Flagg : Can you give me a hint?
Jane : Well, its not really fair to make you guess. I'm - I'm Baby Jane Hudson.
-
Jane : I don't understand?
Edwin Flagg : They are trying to say I'm drunk.
Police Officer : Oh, we just say that you're a little happy. Okay?
Edwin Flagg : Whose happy? I'm not happy.
-
Edwin Flagg : Call who?
Dehlia Flagg : These people.
Edwin Flagg : Might as well.
Dehlia Flagg : Now.
Edwin Flagg : Well, it wouldn't be a lot of bloody use calling next week, would it?
