Jane Norton : Say, who was that?
Miss Applegate : That? Oh, that's Mrs. Dexter.
Jane Norton : Oh.
Miss Applegate : Yeah, she pops in every now and then to see if Barney boy is working on buildings or build-ups.

Miss Applegate : You know, Mr. Dexter has a mind of his own. He's a genius. Everybody says so, including Mr. Dexter.

Miss Applegate : Well, are you in or out?

Jane Norton : Oh, it's 9:30. Say, has the boss been yelling for me?
Miss Applegate : He wouldn't yell for you, darling, he'd coo. You got Barney boy all a fluttered. You know, I think he's a little afraid of you.

Miss Applegate : She asked me about you.
Jane Norton : Oh, she did. What did you tell her?
