  Cary Grant as Walter Burns:  
     
     
  Diabetes! I ought to know better than to hire anybody with a disease.  
     
   
     
  I wish you hadn't done that, Hildy...Divorce me. Makes a fellow lose all faith in himself...Almost gives him a feeling he wasn't wanted.  
     
   
     
  Let's see this paragon! Is he as good as you say?  
     
   
     
   Sounds more like a guy I ought to marry. What's his name?  
     
   
     
  Baldwin, Baldwin. Oh, I knew a Baldwin once. A horse thief in Mississippi. Couldn't be the same fella, could it?  
     
   
     
  I've still got the dimple and in the same place.  
     
   
     
  You led me to expect you were marrying a much older man...I realize you didn't mean old in years.  
     
   
     
  Listen, the last man that said that to me was Archie Leach just a week before he cut his throat.  
     
   
     
  Well, by that time, you'll probably have made enough so that the money won't mean anything to you. But suppose you haven't made good Bruce? What about Hildy's old age? Think of Hildy. Ah - I can see her now. White-haired. Lavender and old lace. Can't you see her, Bruce? ...She's old, isn't she?  
     
   
     
  ...he looks like, uh, that fellow in the movies, you know, uh, Ralph Bellamy.  
     
   
     
  He does, does he? How did I treat ya, like a water buffalo?  
     
   
     
  You know. You know. You got the brain of a pancake. This isn't just a story you're covering. It's a revolution. This is the greatest yarn in journalism since Livingston discovered Stanley.  
     
   
     
  Well, it would have worked out if you'd been satisfied with just being editor and reporter - but not you! You had to marry me and spoil everything.  
     
   
     
  What do you think I am, a crook?  
     
   
     
  You're losing your eye. You used to be able to pitch better than that.  
     
   
     
  Take all those Miss America pictures off Page Six...Take Hitler and stick him on the funny page...No, no, leave the rooster story alone - that's human interest.  
     
   
     
  Oh, well don't get technical at a time like this.  
     
   
     
  Sure, they'll be naming streets after you. Hildy Johnson Street. There'll be statues of ya in the park. The movies will be after ya. The radio. By tomorrow morning, I'll betcha there's a Hildy Johnson cigar. I can see the billboards now. They say, "Light up with Hildy Johnson".  
     
   
     
  Now look, if you won't do it for love, how about money?  
     
   
     
  Say, why don't you carry that in your hand?  
     
   
     
  You've got an old fashioned idea divorce is something that lasts forever, 'til death do us part.' Why divorce doesn't mean anything nowadays, Hildy, just a few words mumbled over you by a judge.
