Quotes from

Ernie Mott: I'm so broke I'm in two halves.


Aggie Hunter: Don't worry for me. I'm here if you need me. I can't help my own nature. If I love you it's something I can't help, and something that I need. People are what they are and love what they love, and I don't see any sense in trying to be something else. I wouldn't trade it for a box at the opera, the thing I feel for you. And you can't change it or take it away from me. And there you are mister jack in the box.


Ernie Mott: They say money talks... all it's ever said to me is goodbye.
