• Laurel : I did it for you. Daddy made me agree to marry Ellis. He could have put you in prison, Bus. He would have. I was only 17!

  Bus Riley : All he had to do is give us consent, that's all.

• Laurel : You were the scrawniest life guard I'd ever seen. You filled out since then.

  Bus Riley : So have you.

  Laurel : Can I take that as a complement?

  Bus Riley : Sure. Just don't build anything on it.

  Laurel : Oh, you didn't used to be so careful with your complements. You used to think I was all there was - the whole department store.

  Bus Riley : Used to.

• Laurel : I didn't even get to see you in your little - little sailor suit.

  Bus Riley : I never saw you in your bridal gown. You did wear white, didn't you?

  Laurel : Oh - I could have lived without that remark.

• Laurel : Honey, I'm just miserable.

  Bus Riley : Yeah, misery's a big plum. But, there's one nice thing about it. Anybody can join.

• Laurel : Don't be so moral, for heaven's sakes.

• Bus Riley : Say, it may not be any of my business, but, doesn't that husband of yours ever - ever show up?

  Laurel : Oh, well, he was here last Sunday; but, he had to fly to Iran to see some more oil wells.

• Laurel : Aren't you going to ever drink anything stronger than a coke?

  Bus Riley : No.

  Laurel : Just because your father was a lush, doesn't mean you have to be. You're missing a lot of fun.

  Bus Riley : Maybe not.

  Laurel : I would just love to see you get turned up sometimes.

• Laurel : I bet you're afraid to kiss me.

  Bus Riley : Why? Why should I be?

  Laurel : Because. Because if you kiss me just once, you'd be just as hooked as you ever were.

  Bus Riley : Say, doesn't that - doesn't that husband of yours ever give you any fun?

• Laurel : It's very middle class to wonder what the servants think.

• Laurel : I like your tattoo.

• Laurel : Well, what am I gonna do now? I look forward to seeing you all day and being with you tonight. Now, I've got nothin' to do.

  Bus Riley : That's your *problem*.

• Laurel : Come here.

  Bus Riley : Now, we make love all over and over again.

  Laurel : Yeah!

  Bus Riley : And it never gets us anywhere.

• Country Club Lady in Pink Suit : I'll bid. Spade.

  Country Club Lady in Green Top : I pass. - Your bid, dear.

  Laurel : Ah, heart.

  Country Club Lady in Floral Dress : Oh, that's insufficient, dear. Your partner bid one spade.

  Laurel : Two hearts then.

  Country Club Lady in Floral Dress : Two, no Trump.

  Country Club Lady in Green Top : Me, the team with a kamikaze pilot.
