Walter Burns: Look, darling, this will bring us back together again. Just the way we used to be.
Hildy Johnson: That's just what I'm afraid of! "Any time, any place, anywhere."

Walter Burns: You can get married all you want, Hildy, but you can't quit the newspaper business.
Hildy Johnson: Well, why not?
Walter Burns: I know you, Hildy. I know what quitting would mean to you!
Hildy Johnson: What would it mean?
Walter Burns: It would kill ya!
Hildy Johnson: You can't sell me that, Walter Burns.
Walter Burns: Who says I can't? You're a newspaper man!
Hildy Johnson: That's why I'm quitting! I want to go someplace where I can be a woman.
