[first lines]
Flanagan: [at the ticket window at a train station] Pretty soft for you, sister, getting the city to pay your fare to Danbury.
Mae: Pretty soft for the city I don't live in Australia. C'mon, grandpa.
Flanagan: [on the train, placing Mae's luggage on the rack] There y'are.
[to the conductor]
Flanagan: The lady goes to Danbury, chief.
[to Mae]
Flanagan: Now take my advice, sister, and keep out of New York.
Mae: [snidely] OK, grandpa. I'll remember all your advice: I'll watch my diet, go to the dentist twice a year, keep my nose clean, and pray for you every night - to break a couple of legs.

Lil Blair: [at Lil's apartment at the Wellington Manor. "Frivolous Sal" is playing in the background] Danbury. That's where they make hats, ain't it?
Mae: Yeah, I'da gone there, only I got a hat.
Lil Blair: I been there once. Great town. They don't bury their dead - just let 'em walk around.
Mae: Sounds like just the place for me.
Lil Blair: How ya fixed for money, kid?
Mae: Who me? Oh, I'm OK. Say, money's the last thing I think about.
Lil Blair: Yeah, every night before falling asleep. C'mere, babe. You can't kid this old-timer; you're moving right in here with me.
Mae: I wish I could, Lil, but I can't take a chance. I gotta lay low for awhile. Runnin' into that dick wouldn't be too healthy for me. And in a joint like this? Oh!
Lil Blair: Put that record on again, willya Mae? Gee, that song does somthin' to me; kinda gives me a funny little pain.
Mae: [sardonically] Where?
Lil Blair: What's eatin' ya kid?
Mae: Me? Nothing. I got no kick comin'. I got a beautiful home on Long Island, four or five Rolls Royces... and a big stiff pain in the neck.
Lil Blair: Listen, you're lettin' this get under your skin. I wanna tell you somethin': hangin' around me ain't gonna do ya any good. Why don't you get out? You're young and pretty...
Mae: Did you ever try it? You've been around a long time.
Lil Blair: Since I was seventeen.
Mae: You did your Christmas shopping early.
Lil Blair: Mmmm. I found out there wasn't any Santy Claus, too. Oh, I coulda got out of it once, but I had a rotten break: I fell in love. Don't ever let that happen to you, Mae. Get out while you can.
Mae: [wistful] Yeah. Try and get out. Once you're in, you're in. It's like hopping out of a window; when you jump, you just naturally gotta keep going.
