Doug Blake: [has just sprung a little boy as an unexpected new roommate on Vi, whose apartment management does not allow children or pets] Vi, isn't he wonderful?

Vivian Martin: Yeah, cutest little lease-breaker I ever saw. Where's his mother?

Doug Blake: She's downstairs, she wasn't sure how you'd take this.

Vivian Martin: Yeah I'll bet.

Brick: Why you heard what Big Daddy said? That girl's got life in her body.

Mae: That's a lie.

Brick: No. No, truth is somethin desperate and Maggie's got it. Believe me, it is desperate and she has got it.

Mae: [to Gooper] Why don't you say somethin', honey?

Gooper: All right, honey. SHUT-UP!

Brick: Maggie?

Maggie: Yes?

Brick: Come on up here.

Maggie: [at the door to their bedroom] Yes, sir. Thank you for keepin still, for backin me up in my lie.

Brick: Maggie, we are through with lies and liars in this house. Lock the door!

Wally Fay: Sure was a big night for me. I come out looking for an evening of fun and laughter and what do I get? Dishpan hands and a date with a Girl Scout.

Oliver Niles: You know Libby you missed a lot not knowing Norman Maine.

Matt Libby: Not knowing him? I spent my life knowing him. I knew what he was going to do before he did it. I knew him backwards.

Oliver Niles: You didn't know him at all. He was quite a guy.

Matt Libby: Friends, my eye! Listen. I got you out of your jams because it was my job, not because I was your friend. I don't like you. I never did like you. And nothing made me happier than to see all those cute little pranks of yours catch up with you and land you on your celebrated face.

Norman Maine: Pretty work, Libby. Always wait till they're down, then kick them.

Matt Libby: If you'll be kind enough to glance between my shoulder blades, Mr. and Mrs. Gubbins, you'll find there a knife buried to the hilt. On its handle are your initials.
