Judge:
What's your name?
Rosette Henrietta LaRue:
Rosette Henrietta LaRue! Occupation: hipswinging!
[
the court erupts in laughter]
Judge:
Now, Miss LaRue, just what constitutes a striptease?
Rosette Henrietta LaRue:
A good constitution and a couple of zippers.
[
the court erupts in laughter again]
Judge:
Don't be ambiguous.
Rosette Henrietta LaRue:
Oh, I won't if you won't.
Janie 'Duchess' Barlow:
[
to the heavy drinking Tod Newton] You sure drink a good dinner.
Janie 'Duchess' Barlow:
What kind of a guy is Patch Gallagher, Rosie?
Rosette Henrietta LaRue:
Compared to him an elephant's hide is tissue paper, but he sure knows his stuff.
Janie 'Duchess' Barlow:
I've got good legs, Mr. Gallagher.
Patch Gallagher:
Yes, so I've noticed, but don't let them run away with you.

Girl with Tod:
I don't like the looks of this place Todd.
Tod Newton:
Ah, come on. You'll get a lot of laughs.
Patch Gallagher:
Say... what's this you're dishing out?

last lines]
Janie 'Duchess' Barlow:
Can't you take it?
Girl with Tod:
The judge will give you 15 years for what you're thinking.
Tod Newton:
It'd be worth it.
Janie 'Duchess' Barlow:
Sorry to tell ya, but I'm the kind of investment that doesn't pay.
Janie 'Duchess' Barlow:
I'm like the guy throwing quarters in the slot machine. I keep on trying.
Janie 'Duchess' Barlow:
I'll stick to those thousand-to-one shots - sometimes they win.
Janie 'Duchess' Barlow:
You didn't stop to think that I might have to wrestle my way home did you?
Rosette Henrietta LaRue:
That's all right. Let him insult you. Plenty a girl has cashed in on a good hearted insult.
Janie 'Duchess' Barlow:
[
reading a note from Tod] Don't say 'them things'. Don't say 'can it'. Don't say 'guy'. Don't buy shoes with ribbons on them. Don't forget, what's a striptease on 2nd Avenue is art on Broadway. The $50 is to buy you a dress without a zipper.
