Ira Lowenstein : This is what it's going to be like in the factories, too, I suppose, isn't it? "The men are back, Rosie, turn in your rivets." We told them it was their patriotic duty to get out of the kitchen and go to work; and now, when the men come back, we'll send them back to the kitchen.
Walter Harvey : What should we do - send the boys returning from WAR back to the kitchen?

Walter Harvey : You kind of let me down on that San Antonio job.
Jimmy Dugan : I, uh, yeh, I, uh... I freely admit, sir, I had no right to... sell off the team's equipment like that; that won't happen again.
Walter Harvey : Let me be blunt. Are you still a fall-down drunk?
Jimmy Dugan : Well, that is blunt. Ahem. No sir, I've, uh, quit drinking.
Walter Harvey : You've seen the error of your ways.
Jimmy Dugan : No, I just can't afford it.
[giggles]
Walter Harvey : It's funny to you. Your drinking is funny. You're a young man, Jimmy: you still could be playing, if you just would've laid off the booze.
Jimmy Dugan : Well, it's not exactly like that... I hurt my knee.
Walter Harvey : You fell out of a hotel. That's how you hurt it.
Jimmy Dugan : Well, there was a fire.
Walter Harvey : Which you started, which I had to pay for.
Jimmy Dugan : Well, now, I was going to send you a thank-you card, Mr. Harvey, but I wasn't allowed anything sharp to write with.
-
Walter Harvey : You go out, wave your cap, give the people a thrill.
Jimmy Dugan : Why don't you get an organ grinder, I could do a little dance.
Walter Harvey : If your knees are up for it, go ahead.

Ira Lowenstein : [When Harvey talks with Lowenstein about shutting down the league at the end of the year] Do you realize how dedicated these players are? They play with sprained ankles, broken fingers. Sometimes they ride a bus all night to play a double-header the next morning!
Walter Harvey : I'll make it up to them.
Ira Lowenstein : What, with Harvey Bars?
-
Ira Lowenstein : [after they watch the thrilling end to the World Series and seeing the large crowd cheering] Well, Walter, what do you say?
Walter Harvey : Alright, Ira. We'll stick with it.
-
Ira Lowenstein : Mr. Harvey, I would like your executive approval for me to take over the league.
Walter Harvey : What? Ira, aren't you listening to me? All the owners are backing out, there's no point to it anymore. Just let them finish the season, and that's it!
Ira Lowenstein : I sold you a product when there was no product. This is a product!
Walter Harvey : There is no room for girls baseball in this country once the war is over.
Ira Lowenstein : Well, I think you're wrong.
[Harvey walks away]
Ira Lowenstein : And I'm going to prove it to you, Mr. Harvey!
