6 quotes Tira Tira Am I makin' myself clear, boys? Suckers.
Tira Always remember, honey. A good motto is: Take all you can get and give as little as possible.
Tira Don't forget, honey. Never let one man worry your mind. Find 'em, fool 'em and forget 'em.
Tira Well, Beulah, that's another performance under my belt and I still got the face...It's my fortune. When I was born with this face, it was the same as striking oil.
Tira And don't forget. Come up and see me sometime.

Rajah [reading Tira's horoscope]
You were born in August.
Tira Yeah, one of the hot months.
Rajah It was on the 17th under the sign of Leo, the Lion.
Tira Aw, King of the Beasts, huh.
Rajah Ah, you have a wonderful future. I see a man in your life.
Tira What, only one?
Rajah But this is one very particular man. He is very wealthy, enormously wealthy.
Tira ...What does he look like?
Rajah I see he has brown eyes. In fact, I see two men...two different men. In the near future, I see a change....I see a change of position.
Tira Sitting or reclining?...
Rajah The horoscope. Keep this where you may consult it frequently.
Tira All right, I'll take it to bed with me.
Tira Five times!...Wedding bells must sound like an alarm clock to you.
The Chump
I don't suppose you believe in marriage, do you?
Tira Only as a last resort...What do you do for a livin'?
The Chump
Oh, uh, sort of a politician.
Tira I don't like work either.
The Chump
Oh, you know I like to get around and travel, and believe me, I've been places and seen things.
Tira I've been things and seen places. That sorta evens us up, huh?

[as Tira seductively dances for him]
You're certainly givin' me the time of my life, baby.
Tira Don't say givin'. I don't like that word givin'.
Kirk Well anyway, you've been awfully kind. I'll never forget you.
Tira No one ever does.
A maid
I been under the impression that you is a one-man woman.
Tira I am. One man at a time.
Tira Oh, Beulah.
Beulah Yes, ma'am.
Tira Peel me a grape.
[about Kirk]
He's neglecting important business on your account and, of course, there's Ms. Hatton his fiancee to be considered. [He sits down] Do you mind if I get personal?
Tira Go right ahead. I don't mind if you got familiar. It's all in the family.
Tonight, you were especially good.
Tira When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad, I'm better.
The only thing, I'm going to be jealous...Cause if I could only trust you.
Tira You can. Hundreds have.
Do you know I'm mad about you?
Tira I could tell you'd be the first time I saw ya.
Say, I must be transparent.
Tira Honey, you're just wrapped in cellophane...
I could be your slave.
Tira Well, I guess that could be arranged.
Reporter Why did you admit knowing so many men in your life?
Tira Well, it's not the men in your life that counts, it's the life in your men.
