• Law Secretary : Your boss sure has come up in the world.

  Olga Michaels : Yeah, another month and he'll be able to kick a worm in the chest.

• Olga Michaels : Remember, I told you it doesn't pay to take cases against these big uptown lawyers. They got too much pull!

  Anton (Tony) Adam : Yeah, well, I got a lotta push.

• Anton (Tony) Adam : Gee, you ought to see that office. Forty-ninth floor. Real mahogany. Carpet's up to your ankles. Dollar cigars.

  Olga Michaels : Just what you need. Will it be a relief to interview a few customers that can speak English. You know, you've outgrown that East side charity clinic of yours. You're comin' up in the world!

  Anton (Tony) Adam : That settles it. The defense rests. Did anybody ever tell you, you're a better lawyer than I am?

  Olga Michaels : Not in so many words; but, I've suspected it.

• Anton (Tony) Adam : Any more advice?

  Olga Michaels : Plenty! If you're going uptown, find out who Bentley's tailor is!

  Anton (Tony) Adam : Say, what's the matter with these clothes? Aren't they all right?

  Olga Michaels : Sure. They've been all right since the armistice.

• Olga Michaels : I worked for a successful man once and you know why he was a success?

  Anton (Tony) Adam : Sure; because, you worked for him.

  Olga Michaels : No. Because he let the dames alone.

• Law Secretary : No home to go to?

  Olga Michaels : Boss wanted to sign these when he got back.

  Law Secretary : Maybe he had a flat tire.

  Olga Michaels : I'll say she was.

• Anton (Tony) Adam : Olga, is there anything wrong with me?

  Olga Michaels : I wouldn't be surprised.

  Anton (Tony) Adam : Olga. Olga! Olga. Do you think I'm fascilating?

  Olga Michaels : I think you're drunk!

• Olga Michaels : You lugs wouldn't believe you were born without seeing your own birth certificates, would ya. Wise guys!

• Olga Michaels : Now we'll probably get into more trouble. I smelled trouble the minute that long blonde started throwing those bedroom eyes on you. Well, you never listen to me til it's too late! But, just remember, I told you so!

• Olga Michaels : That's what happens when a smart lawyer gets mixed up with a dumb blonde!

• Anton (Tony) Adam : Don't worry. Everything's going to be all right.

  Olga Michaels : Oh, sure it is. But, who's going to take your case?

  Anton (Tony) Adam : I am.

  Olga Michaels : You are?

  Anton (Tony) Adam : I know, I'll have a sap for a client.

• Olga Michaels : Aw, gee, Tony. I wouldn't walk out on you. I come with the furniture. Let's go back to East side, where we came from!

  Anton (Tony) Adam : What? Go back licked? A lot of dirty politicians giving me the bird because they scared me out of the their end of town? Not me!

• Anton (Tony) Adam : Look down there. People. Millions of 'em. Every guy for himself. Pushing. Shoving. Trampling each other. Sure! A city full of 'em. Crooked streets and crooks. Fight. Cheat. Deal... Boost the guy that's riding high and kick the guy that's down. That's what it takes to make good here. And that's what I'll give 'em. When they kick you, kick 'em back, only harder. Sock 'em. If they can't take it, that's their hard luck. They made a shyster outta me. Okay! I'll be the biggest, busiest shyster that ever hit this town. If they want rats, I'll be a rat, a daddy of all rats! I'll show them. - - That's a long speech on an empty stomach.

  Olga Michaels : That's a long speech on a nine-course dinner.

• Olga Michaels : Well, remember...

  Anton (Tony) Adam , Olga Michaels : I told you so.

• Anton (Tony) Adam : This is something I've been saving for a long time. That guy put the skids under me and now it's my turn! You think I've been tough? Huh! You've only got a sample of what I'm going to be. I haven't forgotten. I haven't been asleep. I've got enough on that guy to hang him.

  Olga Michaels : What are you gonna do?

  Anton (Tony) Adam : Hang him.

• Olga Michaels : Where's your gun?

  Anton (Tony) Adam : Gun? What do I want a gun for?

  Olga Michaels : Some people use 'em to shoot ducks with!
