- Linda Rogers: The bigger the fire, the better I look. In fact, during the Chicago fire, I was a ravishing beauty.
- Johnny Prentice: I wanna ask you something.
- Linda Rogers: Well, go ahead.
- Johnny Prentice: I, I don't mean now.
- Linda Rogers: Well, then why bring it up?
- Johnny Prentice: Well, I don't think this is the place.
- Linda Rogers: What's the matter with this place?
- Johnny Prentice: It's all right, but I'd rather ask you on the night without you asking.
- Linda Rogers: Well, what was it you wanted to ask me?
- Johnny Prentice: If I tell you, I might as well ask you. But look, there is something I wanna tell ya, even if something happens and... I don't ask ya.
- Linda Rogers: Johnny, you're not making any sense.
- Johnny Prentice: W, well, what I'm tryin' to tell you is that, well, I don't seem to be able to say what I wanna tell you without being able to say what I don't wanna say.
- Linda Rogers: You seem to be a little bit involved.
