    Scotty : I might surprise you.

    Bea : You probably won't.

    Bea : Out for a few minutes.

    Chester Kent : He'll be out for life if he doesn't stick closer to business.

  • Chester Kent : Come with me and I'll put you in the cat unit.

    Scotty : Oh, that's keen.

    Chester Kent : Don't be so optimistic.

    Bea : Meow.

    Scotty : Meow!

  • Scotty : Say, did you see me dancing?

    Bea : Do you crochet, too?

  • Bea : Nan, are you busy?

    Nan Prescott : No, just dreaming lazily about life.

    Bea : Tell me, where do you get your hair done and where do you get all those pretty dresses?

    Nan Prescott : What's the idea?

    Bea : Well. Well, you're the type men like and...

    Nan Prescott : Me? Know any more funny stories?

  • Bea : I got sick of looking like a schoolteacher and I'm sick of working in an office. I wanna go back on the stage!

    Boy Cat 'Sittin' on a Backyard Fence' : Uh-huh, uh-huh, I kinda thought you'd weaken', Sittin' on a backyard fence...

  • Scotty : [singing]  Just a winding stream, Where I can drift and dream, And now I'm waiting, For you, By a waterfall, I'm calling you-ou-ou-ou

    Bea : Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo...

  • Scotty : We'll make love in 40 cities.

    Bea : And then start all over again!
