Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
Goodbye, Duffy. Watch the diabetes. Walter, it's been fun.

Duffy:
What's he mean by that?

Walter Burns:
He's leaving us. Getting married.

Duffy:
Yeah? That hostess at the Hotsy-Totsy Club?

Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
You're not even close. Why, this is a very classy dame. Philadephia. Studied to be a concert pianist.

Walter Burns:
Where in the hell would you meet a concert pianist?

Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
Well, actually, she's a widow. Husband cracked up in a brand-new Packard. Only had 18 miles on it. So, to support herself, she's playing the organ at the Balaban & Katz Theater.

Walter Burns:
The one in the Loop?

Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
Yeah. We've been dating three months.

Walter Burns:
Jeez, Hildy. why didn't you tell me? Kid, I woulda thrown you a little farewell party...

Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
Oh, no, no, no! I know your farewell parties! When Ben Hecht was leaving for Hollywood, you slipped a micky in his gin fizz. It took four of us to get on the California Limited.
