Connie Allenbury:
Any woman can be starved by neglect. The little attentions Bill paid you seemed so much greater, because you weren't getting them from Haggerty.
Gladys: The only time Warren ever sent me flowers, he signed Bill's name to the card!
Connie Allenbury: Exactly! He probably never noticed the clothes you wore, never told you how lovely you looked, the way Bill did.
Gladys: That's right! How did you know?
Connie Allenbury: Women can't fool women about men.

You can't build a life on hate, or a marriage on spite. Marriage is too important. Mine only lasted an hour, but... I know.

Evelyn Prentice:
There's nothing wrong with those letters. They're innocent.
Lawrence Kennard: Then why are you here?
Evelyn Prentice: There's nothing safe with a man like you.

Fah Lo See:
I have seen a vision, the prophecy is about to be fulfilled. Genghis Khan, masked in his plate of gold, bearing the scimitar that none but he could ever wield comes back to us. I've seen a vision of countless hordes swarming to recapture the world. I've seen them victorious. I've heard the shouts of the dead and the dying drowned by the victorious cries of our people. Genghis Khan comes back! Genghis Khan leads the East against the world!

Gertie Waxted:
Say, I'm hungry!
Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Well, why didn't you yell?
Gertie Waxted: I didn't want to spoil your beauty sleep.
Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Oh, thoughtful as well as alluring, eh?
Gertie Waxted: Alluring?
Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Well, do you doubt it?
Gertie Waxted: Well, I did last night. I didn't exactly have to fight for my honor. A few more weeks of this and I'll be out of condition. Say, are you still in love with someone, or are you just decent?
Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Maybe I think you're decent.
Gertie Waxted: A girl who comes into a man's apartment at night?
Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Well, you might have come here just to look at the Chrysler Building.
Gertie Waxted: That must have been it.
