Quotes 

• Una Yancy : I have come to a decision. If we're all we've got, there's something wrong.

  Whitney Young : You're so right.

  Whitney Young , Una Yancy : [singing]  Enough is enough, We're sick of this stuff, We're tellin' you Bub, That this is the rub

  Whitney Young , Una Yancy , Mary Kate Yarbrough : We've gotta go out and get ourselves a guy! It's time we all went out on an amorous bender, Went out and got loaded up with the opposite gender...

• Whitney Young : The trouble is men can go anywhere, they can do anything they want.

  Una Yancy : [gesturing to Whitney, Mary Kate, and herself]  Well, sailors candy anything! Oh, manager, can you tell us the name of a very nice cocktail place - the kind where women are admitted, but, grudgingly.

  Tearoom Manager : The Mahogany Room at the Blakely. It was a men's bar till last month, when a new management took over and ruined it.

• Una Yancy : What are you doing here? Getting away from it all?

  Whitney Young : Well, in a manner of speaking. What are you doing here?

  Una Yancy : It all got away from me. So, I'm looking for it.

  Whitney Young : What's it's name?

  Una Yancy : Archie O'Conovan, United States Navy.

• Una Yancy : Oh, I like the way he did that. Smooth.

  Whitney Young : It shows he has tact.

• Una Yancy : Of course, knowing all the angles helps. And all the goldbricking helps. But, it is a little restricting, if you know what I mean. For example, in our barracks its restricted to women. Nothing but dames!

• Lt. Cmdr. Paul Elcott : [looking at Whitney]  I can't say you strike me as a woman's woman.

  Whitney Young : I've never struck myself that way either.

  Una Yancy : It's funny. Why is it that there are lots of men's men; but, hardly any women's women? And if there were, would this be good thing or not?

• Una Yancy : It isn't everyday you get to met a guy who looks so bright and ain't so bright.

  Lt. Cmdr. Paul Elcott : Yancy, are you trying to apple polish me?

• Whitney Young : All you got was one postcard from Archie and he said he thought he was going to France.

  Una Yancy : Listen, my Archie don't think for nothin'.

• Whitney Young : You're both a couple of goodies.

  Mary Kate Yarbrough : Well, come with us if we're such goodies.

  Una Yancy : Oh, please, Whit.

• Una Yancy : You can't miss what you haven't got.
