"Maybe I can't use the act." " Not use Ted Hanover?" " Well, the show is pretty well set." " You're in, but he's out." " You could change the show for a special occasion like this." "Of course he could." "He's just trying to hide his gratitude." "Jim, you'd better think up a number for us." "Well, just what do you visualize, Ziggy?" "Uh, let's see, um..." "For Washington's birthday, I see a sort of a romantic costume thing." " Naturally." " Something that just reeks with grace and charm, you know." " Mm-hmm."

" Jim, you deliberately kept me from working at the Inn tonight, didn't you?" " Yeah." "You knew there would be men here from Hollywood who might offer me a chance in pictures." "You decided I shouldn't have that opportunity, not even the opportunity to refuse." "I was afraid the offer might be too important for you to turn down." "The point is you don't trust me to make my own decisions... because they might interfere with your own selfish plans." "I've had about enough of that, Jim." "[Danny] Ted!" "Linda!" "Mr. Parker, Mr. Dunbar, I want you to meet the greatest dance team in show business:" "Hanover and Mason and the owner, Jim Hardy." "Nice little place you've got here." "Even though you haven't seen Miss Mason dance, I can assure you..." "Hardy, Hollywood is always interested in new ideas and we think this is a honey." "We'd like to do a picture based on Holiday Inn." "The idea behind it, how it works, the special holiday songs." "It's purely a speculative thing, far from foolproof, and we can't afford to pay too much." "You don't have to start talking it down because the idea is not for sale." "We expect to use Mr. Hanover and his partner in the picture." "I don't know how the others feel, but I'd like to keep this setup just the way it is." "Jim, would you be decent just once and let somebody else here have a chance?" "Wait a minute, Danny." "The place belongs to him." "He can do as he wants." "I guess it was just too good to last, huh?" "A simple little layout where we could do our best at the work we know... without having any illusions of glory." "But I can see now that I'm the only one who could be happy here." "Go ahead, take the idea." "Take the music, take Linda, take the whole darned thing." "But we'll need you in Hollywood to write the rest of the music." "Oh, no." "I work right here." "I'll send you the music when it's written." "And don't bother me before, huh?" "I guess maybe I was a little selfish, huh?" "Is that the deal you wanted, or should I have thrown in my shirt?" "Chummy sort of a fella, isn't he?"

"'Cause a slicker stole your gal and you ain't got fight enough to get her back!" "Um, excuse me, Mr. Jim, but..." " I tried to keep her here." " What kind of keeping is that?" "Nothing but tricks!" "If you went to Hollywood and told Miss Linda how much you loves her, and told her that the way a lady likes to hear it told," "I'll betcha she'd be the quickest ex-movie star that ever ex'd."
