Joyce Arden: As you leave the theatre this evening, that distasteful blotch you will see to the left of the stage door will be all that remains of our ex-doorman! And I wish I could do the same for you, you billy-goat!


--Bette Davis (as Joyce Arden) in It's Love I'm After

Joyce Arden: I think I'm going to scream!
Basil Underwood: Now, Joyce...
Joyce Arden: I'm sure I'm going to scream! Ahhhh!
Basil Underwood: Now Joyce remember your glands!
Joyce Arden: You leave my glands out of this!

Joyce Arden: If you knew what I was thinking, you'd shrivel where you stand.

Joyce Arden: You thing! You unutterable!


--Bette Davis (as Joyce Arden) in It's Love I'm After

Joyce Arden: You're going to have love for breakfast, love for luncheon and love for dinner. Sweet, sugary, sticky worship. You're going to have a steady diet of it till you're ready to scream - you billygoat!

Joyce Heath: [to Don] I should laugh at you, should I? But I can't help it. You were so awkward that I almost laughed in your face at first. And then it made me sick to think that anyone could be stupid enough to be taken in by old tricks. I thought you might at least be amusing, but you turned out to be dull, and stupid and so afraid. Well you needn't be? I won't hurt your Sunday school romance or your oh so nice career. Hurt me? Get out of here before you give me hysterics!

Joyce Heath: And just where DID I arrive, if I'm not asking you to betray a confidence?
Mrs. Williams: This is Mr. Bellows' place. He's an architect - one of them fellows that draws pictures.
Joyce Heath: Thank You. And I suppose you're Mrs. Bellows, or are you just one of his sketches?
Mrs. Williams: Nope. I'm his housekeeper, for when he comes down here weekends.
Joyce Heath: How cozy.

Joyce Heath: I am now humiliated to the point where I must thank you!


--Bette Davis (as Joyce Heath) in Dangerous

Joyce Heath: I'm bad for people. I don't mean to be, but I can't help myself.


--Bette Davis (as Joyce Heath) in Dangerous

Joyce Heath: It's either going to be your life or mine. If you're killed, I'll be free. If I'm killed it really doesn't matter. If we both die-good riddance!
