- Steve: I got to get nursie out of here or she never will come to.
- [picks up Mme de Bursac who passed out from chloroform, Slim follows]
- Slim: What are you trying to do, guess her weight?
- Steve: She's heftier than you think.
- [lays her down on a bed]
- Steve: Better loosen her clothes.
- Slim: You've been doing all right.
- [Steve starts to loosen]
- Slim: Eh, maybe you'd better look after her husband.
- Steve: He's not going to run out on me.
- Slim: Neither is she.
- Steve: Anybody got a match?
- Slim: Change your mind?
- Steve: No money, those guys cleaned me out.
- Slim: I forgot too - maybe I can do something, its been a long day and I'm thirsty.
- [surveys club patrons]
- Steve: Picked him out yet?
- Slim: You don't mind do you?
- Steve: You're thirsty, go ahead. If I get tired of waiting, I'll be back at that hotel.
- Slim: All right
- [starts moving through tables]
- Steve: You're both going to take a beating 'til one of you uses that phone. That means one of you will take a beating for nothing.
- Eddie: [Steering the boat] What's the matter? Why are you lookin' at me like that fer? What are you laughin' at?
- Steve: Just a joke that neither one of us knows the answer to.
- Eddie: What joke?
- Steve: Whether you're gonna hold together or not.
- Eddie: [His feelings hurt] Don't say that, Harry! I'm a good man! You know I am!
- Steve: Yeah, I know you are, but you're goin' all over the ocean. Stay on your course.
- Eddie: Why do you always... Hey, could I have just one? I don't want to get the shakes.
- Steve: Make it short! I want you rum brave, not useless.
- Eddie: [Anxious to get below decks to have his drink] Thanks, Harry!
- Mme. Hellene de Bursac: I'm just having a hard time trying to say something.
- Steve: Go ahead, say it. I'm not gonna bite you.

- Steve: [to the Bursacs] Get down on the deck flat and stay there!

- Steve: [Angrily] Shut up, both of you! Get down on that deck flat! You save France - I want to save my boat!
- Slim: You're sore, aren't you?
- Steve: Why should I be?
- Slim: I didn't behave very well, did I?
- Steve: You did all right. You got the bottle, didn't you?
- Slim: You're sore, aren't you?
- Steve: Now, look, get this straight, I don't care...
- Slim: I know. I know. You don't give a whoop what I do. But when I do it, you get sore.
- Slim: The story of my life. Where do you want me to begin?
- Steve: I got a pretty fair idea already.
- Slim: Who told you?
- Steve: You did. That slap in the face you took.
- Slim: What about it?
- Steve: You hardly blinked an eye. It takes a lot of practice to do that. Yeah, I know a lot about you, Slim.
- Slim: The next time I get slapped I better do something about it.
