Maisie Was a Lady (1941)

Maisie Ravier, an alias of Mary Anastasia O'Connor: [after having lost her job due to Bob's drunken antics] Maybe life's a jolly 4th of July picnic for you, brother, but it certainly isn't for me. You cancelled out my meal ticket, its the middle of the night, there's no trains or buses until morning, and I got exactly 2 dimes and 45 miles between me and New York. Well what are you going to do about it?
Robert 'Bob': I'll take you
Maisie Ravier, an alias of Mary Anastasia O'Connor: How? Piggy back?
Robert 'Bob': No, no, no, no... in my car. Sure, we'll have a little drink here with Curly and then we'll shove off, what do you say?
Maisie Ravier, an alias of Mary Anastasia O'Connor: In a word "No"... I don't need to see the newspaper picture of the accident to know how I'd look sprinkled all over the highway.

Maisie Ravier, an alias of Mary Anastasia O'Connor: yeah a phase, on the barroom floor

Motorcycle Policeman: [riding next to Maisie who is driving a convertible] Pull Over.
Maisie Ravier, an alias of Mary Anastasia O'Connor: Look Officer, I'm in kind of a hurry... so if you're lonesome and want to talk can't we just ride along like this?
