  Henry Burton : Say, who is this guy?

  Irene Malvern : He's as real as everything else in my life. He just doesn't exist.

• Henry Burton : Did you call in a doctor? Good! He'll give you some vitamin B and you'll be a different woman.

• Henry Burton : Look, honey, now that we've got a hit, don't you think we ought to have a little celebration? Come on over to "21". The whole gangs there.

  Irene Malvern : No.

• Henry Burton : You know, he's a nice fellow.

  Irene Malvern : What's nice about him?

  Henry Burton : What do you want, a complete psychoanalysis? He just struck me as a nice fellow.

• Henry Burton : That's my Irene. I wouldn't want you to be like the others, with a husband, with children, with families, with complications. You're alone.

• Henry Burton : You got nobody to worry, nobody to worry about. You go to the studio in the morning. You play your scenes. You come back at night. The home is quiet. It's peaceful. You have a nice dinner. You go right to bed. You're alone.

• Henry Burton : You get up the next morning, You go to the studio. You come back. You haven't got a husband to fight with. No kids with measles. No relatives. You're alone.

• Henry Burton : You feel like playing the radio, you play it. You haven't got to worry about him. You feel like reading, you read. You feel like sleeping, you sleep. You ever want kids, you adopt a couple of 'em. You hire a nurse. You don't even have to see 'em. I tell you, if I knew then what I know now, my life would be different too. And I'm not saying anything against Mrs. Burton.

  Irene Malvern : Goodnight, Henry.

• Henry Burton : Believe me, Irene, there's nothing else in life but work.

  Irene Malvern : Oh, yes there is.

  Henry Burton : What, for instance

  Irene Malvern : Well, there's fishing.

  Henry Burton : Yeah, sure. Say, I didn't know you like fishing.
