Mae West In "I'm No Angel"

Carnival Barker: "Miss Tira, the vision of supreme pulchritude ... the only show in town where the tickets are made of asbestos."

Man: "I don't suppose you believe in marriage, do you?"
Tira: "Only as a last resort. Ah, what do you do for a living?"
Man: "Sort of a politician ..."
Tira: "I don't like work either ..."

Tira: "I had to shoot a lion once."
Lady: "Really? Was he mad?"
Tira: "Well he wasn't exactly pleased about it."

Man: "You've been awfully kind ... I'll never forget you."
Tira: "No one ever does."

Man: "Do you mind if I get personal?"
Tira: "Go right ahead. I don't mind if you get familiar ..."

Man: "You were wonderful tonight."
Tira: "I'm always wonderful at night."
Man: "Tonight I thought you were especially good."
Tira: "When I'm good I'm very good, but when I'm bad I'm better."

Man: "If I could only trust you ..."
Tira: "You can ... hundreds have."

Man: "I'm crazy about you."
Tira: "I did my best to make you that way."

Man: "What are you thinking about?"
Tira" "Same thing you are ..."

Jane: What I wouldn't give to be Mae West for a week!
