- Don Hewes: Five foot six.
- Mike the Bartender: [filling the glass a little more] Try this.
- Mike the Bartender: Spend your life behind a bar, you get to know what makes people tick. This place is like a clinic. People come in here because they've got troubles. Well, if you listen, you learn. I've been here 15 years and I can boil down trouble into two classifications.
- Don Hewes: Yeah? What are they?
- Mike the Bartender: Women and their mothers.
- Jonathan Harrow III: He seems under the impression that you aren't too fond of him.
- Hannah Brown: But I am! Terribly!
- Jonathan Harrow III: Well, I'm afraid it's a little late.
- Hannah Brown: A little late? Little late? Well, that can't be! What'll I do?
- Jonathan Harrow III: Well, if I loved someone, I'd find a way to let them know it.
- Hannah Brown: Well, it's different with a man.
- Jonathan Harrow III: Why?
- Hannah Brown: I don't know. It just is, that's all. It's easier.

- Sam - Don's Valet: How did the act go, Mr. Hewes?
- Don Hewes: One bow.
- Sam - Don's Valet: Too bad.

- Hannah Brown: Was I too terrible?
- Don Hewes: No. No.
- Hannah Brown: I've never really danced before.
- Don Hewes: You're going to be fine.
- Hannah Brown: Mr. Hewes, Mr. Hewes... You know you don't have to go on with this.
- Don Hewes: Now look...
- Hannah Brown: No, I mean it. You're the most wonderful dancer I've ever seen. You could get anyone to dance with you. You could get the very best.
- Don Hewes: I don't want the very best. I want you.
- Jonathan Harrow III: [Lovingly to Hannah] Do you know that scientists say that people fall in love quickest during a rainstorm? I can prove that. Because that's when I fell in love with you.
- Mike the Bartender: What are you doing here by yourself?
- Hannah Brown: Oh, I don't know. I just wanted to get away for awhile.
- Mike the Bartender: Sure. Well, if there's anything I can do, breaking one's neck or anything like that, just say the word.
- Hannah Brown: No thanks, Mike. There isn't anything anyone can do.
- Mike the Bartender: Ah, don't say that. No man is that important. Plenty of fish left in the sea. You know it's always darkest just...
- Hannah Brown: Oh, Mike. I don't think you have a motto for my kind of problem.
- [first lines]
- Don Hewes: [as he enters the apartment] Hat please.
- Essie, Nadine's Maid: Oh, Mr. Hewes.
- Don Hewes: [to Nadine] Hello darling! Where are you?
- Nadine Hale: Oh Don, I've been trying to call you.
- Don Hewes: Uh, Essie, will you help me with these things please?
- [laughs while struggling with several stacked boxes]
- Don Hewes: Thank you. Well, I got all tied up with an Easter rabbit. Hello sweetheart.
- [kisses Nadine]
- Don Hewes: Here.
- [hands her the hat he bought]
- Don Hewes: .
- Nadine Hale: Oh I wish you hadn't.
- Don Hewes: Oh. Say, haven't those men come for your trunks yet? I told them to pick them up this morning.
- Nadine Hale: Well they weren't ready Don.
- Don Hewes: Well, we'll send them by pidgeon. Here, try on your hat. We'll just have time to walk in the Easter parade tomorrow before our train leaves.
- [obviously bothered, Nadine then breaks the news that she's been offered an entertainment performance contract of sorts and that she doesn't want to continue on to Chicago with Don as a dance duo]
