- Larry Haines: [Trying to get away from Karen] Taxi! A thin taxi for one!
- Karen Bentley: Larry! Larry! You have 3 hours between trains. Wouldn't you like to go past my apartment house and drop me off?
- Larry Haines: Drop you off? I sure would. How many stories is it?
- [Plane engine sputtering]
- Larry Haines: What's that?
- Karen Bentley: It isn't moving properly. There's not enough gas to clean a doily.

- [Screaming as plane dives]

- Karen Bentley: Who's Nat Burton?
- Larry Haines: He's my agent.
- Karen Bentley: Do you think he'll help?

- Larry Haines: [Impersonating a famed pediatrician before a crowd of mothers]
- Mother Who Has a Girl of Nine: Dr. Higby, I have a girl of nine who won't listen to what's right. She always does what's wrong. What should I do?
- Larry Haines: Wait ten years, and if there's no improvement... send me her number.
- Larry Haines: [as they're attempting to escape in a small plane, which Karen is going to pilot] Hey, you sure you know how to run this thing?
- Karen Bentley: Sure! My brother's a British ace.
- Larry Haines: Yeah, well, my uncle's a dogcatcher, but I can't bark.
- Karen Bentley: [surreptitiously] There's no time to lose. Do you know what it feels like to be followed, hounded and watched every second?

- Larry Haines: Yes, I am. I said every word you heard.
- Larry Haines: Say, you know honey: You and me could make music together. Right now I feel like the philharmonic.
