"No, No, Nanette" was originally a Broadway show produced and directed by Harry Frazee in 1925, running for 321 shows. To finance the show, Frazee - then owner of the Boston Red Sox - sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in December of 1919.
In this version, young Eve Arden plays the character of Winnie, but in the Doris Day remake (_Tea For Two (1950)_ ) she plays Pauline.
In this film, Zasu Pitts plays Pauline - the same role she played in the now-lost 1930 version.

Pauline, what's this?

Bacon.

Well, I know that but...

You mean...?

Not another slice until Wednesday.

I've never seen such a man for bacon.

I've never seen such bacon for a man.
Styles:
Do you know what they gave Pauline and Remington for breakfast this morning? Black pudding with milk.
Nanette:
Oh, that sounds horrible!
Styles:
Sounds horrible? It would be all right if you only had to listen to it. But you got to eat it!
Mrs. Susan Smith:
Your horoscope says "Beware of 1940."
