Quote context

[...]

- But let's go there for dinner, Freddy, huh? I'd like to introduce you to the gang. They've heard me talk so much about you.

- Anything you say, honey.

- Here's some perfume and some other junk I bought in Paris.

- Oh! Fleurette No. 5. And this scarf's cute. To think of having things from Paris.

- Little black flowers that grow in the sky.

- Hey, that's me!

- When we go out tonight, will you wear your uniform?

- Oh, no.- For my sake.

- I'm sorry, baby.

- I'd be so proud to be out with you. Won't you, please?

- Well, seeing as it's you. Seeing as I can't find any place to hang it up, all right.

- But it's the last time. From now on, if you don't like me in civilian clothes we'll just have to stay here all the time.

- Would that be so bad?

Yeah, I know. You're the junkman. You get everything sooner or later.
Well, that's vanishing cream. This is a vanishing cream remover. I'll tell you how you can save money. If you don't put that on, then you don't need this to take that off.
Don't say it, chum. The customer's always right, so I'm fired. But this customer wasn't right.
How many times have I told you I hated you and believed it in my heart? How many times have you said you were sick and tired of me, that we were all washed up? How many times have we had to fall in love all over again?
