- Hong Kong Bartender: [mixing a very complex drink] I haven't made one of these since the fourth of July. I was making one when the quake hit Frisco. Believe me, friend, I wouldn't go to all this trouble for any of these foreigners. Uh, uh, gotta wait a minute to let the oil sink in. There you are, partner, you can tell your grandchildren about that one.
- Dan: [Before Dan can take a sip, the contents of the glass are knocked out of his hand by Joan backing into him] Say, what in the name of...
- Joan: Why... I'm so sorry.
- Dan: I'm so glad.
- Joan: Such a beautiful drink too.
- Dan: Yes, paradise cocktail. Seem to be a few drops left.
- Joan: [prophetically] Always the most precious, the last few drops. That's luck.
- Dan: Yes, my name is Dan.
- Joan: Mine's Joan.
- Dan: Hello, Joan.
- Joan: Hello, Dan.
- Dan: May we, errr, drink to our meeting?

- [the bartender pours another drink. Skippy downs it quickly]
- Bartender #2: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! What fight?
- Skippy: The fight between you and me. I can't pay for these drinks!
- [He stumbles away, laughing drunkenly]
- [last lines]
- Bartender #1: I'll be glad when this thing's over.
- Bartender #2: You telling me. These holidays are dynamite.

- Betty: I've been busy.
- Skippy: Oh, sure, with that copper! You know, I think you're falling for him.
- Betty: He's not such a bad guy.
- Skippy: Oh sure, copper-lover! Falling for the law. The fox falling in love with the hounds. I'm ashamed of you. I tell you, that guy's no good.
- Betty: Now, wait a minute. His racket's on the other side of the fence, but he's playing it on the up-and-up. He's 100% copper, just the same as you're 100% thief. And you know yourself, 100% puts you at the head of the class.
