Can you imagine? Punching a time clock, sittin' around with a lot of stuffed shirts, talking statistics. Why, you'd be like a fire horse tied to a milk wagon. Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
Listen to whose talking. Journalists! Peeping through keyholes, running after fire engines like a lot of... dogs, waking people up in the middle of the night to ask them what they think of Mussolini, stealing pictures off of old ladies with their daughters to get attacked in Grove Park, a lot of daffy buttinskies running around with holes in their pants, borrowing nickels from office boys, and for what? So a million hired girls and motorman's wives will know what's going on

Yes. This place is beginning
to smell like a... like an owl's foot.
00:00:20.502 --> 00:00:23.547
Peeking through keyholes, running after
fire engines like a lot of coach dogs,
00:00:44.151 --> 00:00:46.153
And you'll all end up on the copy desk,
00:01:41.583 --> 00:01:44.712
You and I'll go around and say good-bye
to everybody in the building.
00:00:37.311 --> 00:00:38.771

And for what? So a million hired girls and
motormen's wives will know what's going on.
00:00:27.134 --> 00:00:30.262
stealing pictures off of old ladies of their
daughters that get attacked in Grove Park.
00:00:40.814 --> 00:00:44.998
I've been a newspaper man for 15 years —
a cross between a bootlegger and a galoofer.
00:01:38.033 --> 00:01:39.693
I'll hit ya!
I'll hit ya, I will!
00:01:39.705 --> 00:01:41.005
Come on, Jenny.
I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:00:30.346 --> 00:00:32.997
Daffy buttinskies,
swelling around with holes in
00:00:32.002 --> 00:00:33.748
their pants,
borrowing nickels from office boys.
00:01:34.702 --> 00:01:36.999
Hildy Johnson,
you keep away from me!
00:01:36.241 --> 00:01:38.271
