(response) "With anyone. Me, for instance."
 

“Young lady! Are you trying to show contempt for this court?”
(response) “No. I’m doin’ my best to hide it.”

(about to gamble at cards) "Is this a game of chance?"
(response) "Not the way I play it, no."

"I didn't squawk about the steak, dear. I merely said I didn't see that old horse that used to be tethered outside here."

“You know I’ve been mad about you from the first time I laid eyes on you. Why, you’re my whole world! What do you want to do, drive me to the mad house?!”
(response) “No. I’ll call you a taxi.”

“Great town St. Louis. You were born there?”
(reply) “Yes”
(response) “What part?”
(reply) “Why, all of me.”

"Ruby, I must have you... your golden hair, your fascinating eyes, your alluring smile, and lovely arms, your form divine..."
(response) "Wait a minute, wait a minute. Is this a proposal, or are ya takin' inventory?"

“Are you in town for good?”
(reply) “I expect to be here but not for good.”

"What if she's right - he didn't do it, and they give him the chair?"
(response) "Suppose they do? What difference does it make? There's too many people in the world anyway."
(reply) "What's the use of talking to you? You think everything's a joke."
(response) "My son, it is. If it weren't, life wouldn't be worth living."

(a fake substitute teacher announcing to his students) "It's gonna be a really tough project. It's going to test your head, your brain, and your mind, too."

(to his students) "Ok, here's the deal. I have a hangover. Who knows what that means?"

(teacher's response) "No. It means I was drunk yes-ter-day."

"What’s your nationality?"
(reply) "I’m a drunkard."

"Don't talk to me about self-respect. Self-respect is something you tell yourself you've got when you've got nothing else."

"Well, don't you even say 'Good night'?"
(response) "It's good-bye, and it's tough to say good-bye."
(reply) "Why is it? You've never seen me before tonight."
