A scene from The Lady Eve 1941

Jean

I don't see why I have to do all the dirty work. There must be plenty of rich old dames waiting for you to push them around.

Colonel

You find them, I'll push them.

Jean

Boy, would I like to see you give some old harpie the three in one!

Colonel

Don't be vulgar, Jane. Let us be crooked, but never common.

Colonel Well, it certainly took you long enough to come back in the same outfit. Jean I'm lucky to have this on. Mr. Pike has been up a river for a year. Charles You're certainly a funny girl for anybody to meet who's just been up the Amazon for a year. Jean Good thing you weren't up there two years. Charles Would you care to come in... and see Emma? Jean That's a new one, isn't it?
