Cathy Gray : [Sue is helping Cathy with her corset] Pull it tighter Sue. Pull it tighter! I want a waist like Anna Held's.
Sue Allen : If I pull it any tighter you're not going to be able to breathe.
Cathy Gray : Oh. Oh, that's alright, I don't need much breath anyway. As my late friend Matty used to say, "If a girl don't watch her figure, the men won't."
Sue Allen : Matty? Wasn't that the man you were going to marry?
Cathy Gray : Yes, but he hung himself instead.
[giggling]
Cathy Gray : Oh Matty was such a card.
Sue Allen : Well where's your new friend going to take you tonight?
Cathy Gray : To the Hauffman House for dinner, then to Tony Pastor's for the vaudeville show.
Sue Allen : That sounds like fun.
Cathy Gray : Oh, yeah he's a free spender, alright. A little bit older than I like them; but, awfully distinguished looking.
Cathy Gray : Is he nice?
Sue Allen : Oh, awfully nice. A real gentleman. Except, when he's had a couple of drinks in him. That's to be expected. I'm moving up!
[stops and breathes in slowly]
Sue Allen : I'm moving up in the world, honey. No girl ever hits the jackpot till after she passes 14th street.

Cathy Gray : They always want a corpse.

Matthew Burke : Where would you like to go, baby? Atlantic City?
Cathy Gray : No. Niagara Falls. We can get the license in Buffalo.
Matthew Burke : License?
Cathy Gray : Yeah, you know, legitimate.

Cathy Gray : Look at me! Not too long ago I was down on Delancey Street. And tonight I'm moving right up there among the bright lights on 23rd.
Sue Allen : Now, when you get up there tonight, don't drink too much.
Cathy Gray : Oh, don't worry. I won't. He keeps trying to pour the liquor into me, but, I always manage to keep my head. After all, now that I'm going regular with a Swell, I got social obligations.

Cathy Gray : Your not like me Sue. You never could be. You've got all the brains and all I got is - what I got.

Cathy Gray : There! If I don't sizzle him tonight, I might as well give up!
