• Tom 'Tommy' : You're up to your old tricks, eh? Three calls so far today.

  'Rickey' Mayberry : Who were they?

  Tom 'Tommy' : All the same party. She said to tell you she was stopping at the Hanover Apartments, and to get in touch with her. Some dame named Irene Malcolm.

  'Rickey' Mayberry : Tommy, are you really glad to see me?

  Tom 'Tommy' : Well, sure I am.

  'Rickey' Mayberry : Then do me a favor and call her up and try to date her up. I'll give you anything if you take her off my hands.

  Tom 'Tommy' : You're a cinch. All you have to do is pay the expenses.

  'Rickey' Mayberry : I'll do better than that. Someday, if a dizzy dame ever bothers you, you give me a buzz and I'll take you off the hook.

  [enters his boss's office, Irene is sitting across the desk; she heard the entire conversation] 

  'Rickey' Mayberry : Checking in chief! I...

  Irene Malcolm : Thanks! For fixing me up on a blind date!

  'Chet' Phillips : [Rickey looks for some help]  Don't look at me. I'm not gonna dig you out.

  'Rickey' Mayberry : Irene, I was just kidding. I wouldn't for the world...

  Irene Malcolm : [angry]  I know just what you mean, darling. You wouldn't for the world!

  'Chet' Phillips : Now, wait a minute. If you two are gonna hash anything over, do it on your own time. Let's pick up from where you had your brains shot out.

• 'Chet' Phillips : Ever since they been married, she squawked at all his foreign assignments. And now that she divorced him...

  Irene Malcolm : Divorced him?

  'Chet' Phillips : Sure.

  [Irene starts laughing uncontrollably.] 

  'Chet' Phillips : Hey, do you know something I don't? Come on, Irene, out with it.

  Irene Malcolm : [still laughing]  Oh, Chet, everything's marvelous! You're wonderful. In fact, you're beautiful and I'd marry you in a split second.

  'Chet' Phillips : Wait a minute! Don't mean to say he tried that line on you? How that guy gets away with things- I've heard him say that so often, I tried it myself one night.

  Irene Malcolm : How'd you do?

  'Chet' Phillips : Not bad for me. All I lost was a pivot tooth.

• 'Chet' Phillips : Shhhh! Save your appetite, baby, I only want him to think he's through.
