Regi: We're exactly alike.
Ted Drew: No, ha ha, oh no, your hair is much prettier than...
Regi: We are! We're both trying to do the same thing: marry for money.
Ted Drew: Is that what you want to do?
Regi: Mm-hmm.
Ted Drew: Oh, no, you're too nice for that.
Regi: Well, I don't want to spend the rest of my life working in a barber shop.
Ted Drew: Well, but to go out in cold blood and deliberately marry somebody for money, that's no good.
Regi: Well, what are you doing?
Ted Drew: Well... Well, it's different for me: I'm a heel!
Regi: Well, did I ever say I wasn't one?

Toni Carstairs Day: I've decided to write a book. "My Breathless Years."
Jerry Day: Will I be in it?
Toni Carstairs Day: Yes, but you won't stay long. I'll kill you off early.
Jerry Day: Not getting tired of it, by any chance?
Toni Carstairs Day: Never a dull moment, dear.

Toni Carstairs Day: You've always said there was no time for anything else but fooling.

George Smith: And you wanted my respect!
Lily Garland, aka Mildred Plotka: Who cares about your respect? I'm too big to be respected. The men I've known have understood that.
George Smith: Men you've known? Jaffe, you mean.
Lily Garland, aka Mildred Plotka: Yes, Jaffe. He'll tell you what I am: A first-class passenger entitled to privileges.
George Smith: Oh, an artist!
Lily Garland, aka Mildred Plotka: You're darned tooting I am!

Jerry Day: Nice ham.
Toni Carstairs Day: You said that in Vienna.
Jerry Day: Not about ham. That was wiener schnitzel. I distinctly remember arguing the relationship of a cow to a calf.
Toni Carstairs Day: Jerry, you're an idiot.
Jerry Day: You said that in Vienna.
Toni Carstairs Day: And London and Rome and a few other places.

Jerry Day: Penny, this is sort of your new mother. And Toni, I guess you'd say this is sort of our new daughter.
Toni Carstairs Day: I guess you would.


--Carole Lombard (as Toni Carstairs Day) in Now and Forever

Jerry Day: Toni, don't get one thing wrong. I still love you.
Toni Carstairs Day: You don't need to say anything because there isn't anything left to say. If you'd even told me - but lying. You've lost your size, Jerry, and I could never chase trains with a little man.
Jerry Day: Toni, I do love you.
Toni Carstairs Day: That's very sweet, but I'm afraid we've missed the train.


--Carole Lombard (as Toni Carstairs Day) in Now and Forever

Jerry Day: Toni, I know what's eating you. You think I haven't got any business with that kid. Well, you're wrong, dead wrong. You haven't got a thing to worry about, you wait and see.
Toni Carstairs Day: I see, and what's in the past is all in the past. No more beating debts or dodging gentlemen in uniforms or chasing trains. No more hurried departures from unpleasant business. Your only concern is for your daughter's future, and you want above everything to make her happy.
Jerry Day: Absolutely, dear.
Toni Carstairs Day: So you sold Uncle Felix the phony goldmine to get the money for the good time. Stop lying, Jerry.
Jerry Day: Lying?
Toni Carstairs Day: Yes, stop lying. It doesn't become you. I know exactly what you were thinking - fun, excitement, thrills. You wouldn't know a responsibility if you fell over one in the street.
Jerry Day: Well, supposing it was like that, what difference does it make?
Toni Carstairs Day: You've got to mean it. You're her father, and she's yours, so you've got to quit selling goldmines. You can't take a child out of a good home and throw her into a life like this.


--Carole Lombard (as Toni Carstairs Day) in Now and Forever

Jerry Day: Toni, we're rich.
Toni Carstairs Day: Again? That's nice.
Jerry Day: This letter's from my brother-in-law. He's been looking after the baby.
Toni Carstairs Day: Baby? What baby?
Jerry Day: My baby.
Toni Carstairs Day: Wait a minute, Jerry, do you mean you have a child?
Jerry Day: Yes, didn't I tell you? She must be, uh, five or six by now. I don't know exactly.
Toni Carstairs Day: For a man who talks so much you say very little.

Wally Cook: For good clean fun, there's nothing like a wake.
Hazel Flagg: Oh please, let's not talk shop.
