Jan Morrow

 * Mr. Allen, this may come as a surprise to you, but there are some men who don't end every sentence with a proposition.
 * At least my problems can be solved in one bedroom. You couldn't solve yours in a thousand!
 * Wonder how it would be to have someone to pillow talk with me?
 * If you'll excuse me, I better go to the powder moon. I mean room. Fix my lipstick.
 * I'm yours tonight. My darling possess me.
 * Can you believe that? They sent a woman. That's like sending a marshmallow to put out a bonfire.

Brad Allen

 * I've had hangovers before, but this time, even my hair hurts.
 * Why did I spend a fortune having this apartment done over? Why did I cut myself off from every girl I know? Why does any man destroy himself? Because he thinks he's getting married!

Alma

 * If there's anything worse than a woman living alone, it's a woman saying she likes it.

Dialogue

 * Jan: Officer, arrest this man - he's taking me up to his apartment!
 * Police Officer: Well, I can't say that I blame him, miss.


 * Brad: Look, I don't know what's bothering you, but don't take your bedroom problems out on me.
 * Jan: I have no bedroom problems. There's nothing in my bedroom that bothers me.
 * Brad: Oh-h-h-h. That's too bad.


 * [Jan and Brad are on the phone discussing a phone schedule]
 * Jan: We'll just have to try living with each other...
 * [Jan pauses, waiting for a response]
 * Brad: Well?
 * Jan: I was waiting for you to make some off-color remark.
 * Brad: Miss Morrow, is that all you have on your mind?
 * Jan: Never mind my mind! You just stick to your half-hour and I'll stick to mine!


 * Jan: [about living alone] Well, what am I missing?
 * Alma: If you have to ask, you're missing it!


 * Brad: Why don't you take her over for the rest of the evening?
 * Jonathan: Me?
 * Brad: Yeah! Take her dancing maybe. She's dying to learn how to dance.
 * Jonathan: Wait wait. She doesn't know how to dance?
 * Brad: Well naturally, she doesn't get out of the house very often.
 * Jonathan: What do you mean, "naturally"?
 * Brad: Jonathan, believe me, you and Moose - I mean Miss Taggett will get along...
 * Jonathan: "Moose"?
 * Brad: So what the girl picks up a nickname? You know, how cruel kids can be. Especially, when someone is a little different.
 * Jonathan: Different? How different?
 * Brad: Well... You know. [hesitatingly points to face] Just different.
 * Jonathan: [Pointing to a fat lady sitting at a table] That couldn't be her, could it?
 * Brad: How can you tell?
 * [waves at the lady, who waves back]
 * Brad: See, she's so friendly. C'mon.
 * Jonathan: Oh no! Its your moose. Happy Hunting!
 * [Jonathan leaves]
 * Brad: Yes, indeed.


 * Jonathan: Brad, she is the sweetest, she is the loveliest, she is the most talented woman I have ever met.
 * Brad: That's what you said when you married that stripper.
 * Jonathan: She wasn't a stripper. She was an exotic dancer... with trained doves.


 * Brad: [on the phone pretending to be Rex] Am I gonna see you tonight?
 * Jan: I'd love to Rex, but I already have a date.
 * Brad: Who with?
 * Jan: A client. You don't know him. Jonathan Forbes.
 * Brad: Of course, you're not the kind of girl who would break a date.
 * Jan: No I'm not.
 * Brad: And I ain't the kinda guy who'd ask you to.
 * Jan: I know you're not.
 * Brad: I'll pick you up at 8.
 * Jan: I'll be ready.
