Biff: You don't mean to tell me that an unprotected girl like yourself is going to be seen going to the Campus Candy Store in broad daylight!
Babs: Well, why not? Is it so terrible?
Biff: Terrible? Why I, alone, have dragged from that opiate-reeking atmosphere the bodies of innocent young girls, their sallow complexions give testimony to the lives they have lived. Sinful slaves to the chocolate drop. Shameful addicts to the bon-bons.
-- Babs -

Eddie: Waste not the hours with yonder young horse pistol.
Biff: Don't while the night with nothingness with that numb-scullion.
Eddie: Oh, I beseech thee, young lady, put your okay on me.
Babs: I know, we'll settle this as if the fearless knights of old.
Biff: What do you mean?
Babs: Battle to the death and the victor shall be my escort to the hop.
-- Babs -
Babs: Aw, don't be silly Biff. You know I like you.
Biff: You don't show it.
Babs: Well, what do you want me to do? Tattoo your name on my chest?
Biff: Oh, Babs, I wish you wouldn't talk like that. I only wanted to tell you, that I - oh, gee, I'm all balled up.

Cushie: Funny the way the men have changed. They used to talk about what they'd do when the war was over and things like that.
Rosalie: Yeah, now all they talk about is women.
Babs: Yes, women. It seems to be the only thing the men are interested in. Why even the youngsters are so afraid they'll die before they've ever lived.
Joy: Well, it makes me awfully nervous the way they always want to look at you and touch you. Why, even the doctors are getting so...
Cushie: Well, even the doctors are human, I suppose.
-- Babs -
Babs: Are you going to get married?
Joy: Well, he hasn't said anything about that, yet; but, I know he will. Maybe on his next leave. Oh, it will be so wonderful. Don't you want to get married?
Babs: I should say not. I've had enough war.
-- Babs -
Joy: You know girls, I was always told it would be disgraceful to see a man undress.
Babs: Well, I've watched so many naked men lately that I'm ready to go live with the eskimos. They only undress once a year!
-- Babs -
Babs: Well, this is an idea. I think I'd make a swell nurse.
Rosalie: Behave...
Babs: Just think of the thrill. Holding hands all night with good-looking sick officers.
Rosalie: And can you imagine moonlights nights at no-man's land. Oh, boy.
Babs: Yeah, with a general on each arm.
Rosalie: You know, with that it would have it on Paris. They've commandeered our cars and left nothing but 80-year old men on the boulevards.
Babs: You, said it! With five million men up there, that's our place, darling.
Rosalie: Hooray.
-- Babs -
Babs: Thanks. You're sure its alright?
Wally: Looks perfect to me.
Babs: I'd never forgive myself if I was out of commission for tonight.
Wally: Oh, that's alright. I don't care about dancing anyway.
Babs: Dancing? I'm on night duty, tonight.
Wally: Yeah, that's what I mean.
Babs: And if I wasn't, I'd be sleeping.
Wally: Gee, its wonderful the way you get all of my ideas.
-- Babs
