- Oh, who cares about the Boston Yates?

- Anyway, Bob isn't a clerk. He's an architect. He's only clerking until he can get started.

- One who clerks, Polly, is a clerk, and that settles it.

- And I want you to remember that no Potter has ever been involved in a single scandal.

- How about Uncle Dick?

- It's a well-known fact that your uncle was drunk at the time.

- And another thing, young lady, I'm quite tired of your sitting out on the beach all hours of the night.

- Hey. Hey. Why don't you take something for that insomnia? You ought to cut out drinking so much coffee.

- I'm sorry, sir.

- Say, any luck with the 4:30?

- Yes, it didn't hit me. That's the only luck I had with it.

- Mr. Hammer, I think I know what's wrong with the hotel.

- Maybe the hotel hasn't opened yet.
