- Mary Jones: Have some candy?
- Charlie Hall: Where'd you get it?
- Mary Jones: Mr. Stevens.
- Charlie Hall: [Reading Steven's business card asking Mary to have dinner with him] Say, you're not gonna keep this date, are you?
- Mary Jones: Oh, I don't know. I haven't decided yet.
- Charlie Hall: Listen, I'm not going to have any future wife of mine galavanting around with strangers.
- Mary Jones: But he's no stranger.
- Charlie Hall: Oh, he isn't?
- [the two start arguing with audio being heard]
- Willie: [Watching the argument along with Mr. Stevens, from the next office] The possessive instinct.
- John E. Stevens: [Charlie and Mary are hugging] What's the meaning of this?
- Charlie Hall: I'll tell you what's the meaning of this Mr. Stevens. This young lady has just consented to be my wife.
- John E. Stevens: What?
- Charlie Hall: Yes, sir, and I want to give you her notice right now.
- John E. Stevens: Why, she can't do that. She's the only one who knows my filing system. It'll take me months to break in another girl.
- Charlie Hall: [shaking his head] I'm sorry, Mr. Stevens, but no wife of mine is going to work.
- Mary Jones: Aren't you going to congratulate us?
- John E. Stevens: Aww, sure.
