True Confession

Continuity mistake: Helen Bartlett is on the phone with her friend Daisy, who says she can't join her but is conned into leaving her workplace by Carole Lombard faking suicide. During the scene, Una Merkel's desk is arranged differently depending on the camera angle; a closer angle has room for just the telephone, while in the wider angle she also has a notebook in front of her.

Tony Krauch: Uh, uh. Uh, Mr. Bartlett, that man of mine.
Kenneth Bartlett: What about him?
Tony Krauch: Well, he's took up with some no-good gal in town and spendin' all the money I makes takin' her out Susie-Q'in' and such.
Helen Bartlett: Oh, that's a shame. Susie-Q'in', huh?
Tony Krauch: Yes'm. And, uh - uh, Mr. Bartlett, I was wonderin'. Well, speakin' right to the point, if I lets go with a few well-aimed bullets, does you think you can get me off with the law okay?

Helen Bartlett: If you get Tony Krauch acquitted, Mrs. Zimmerman has another cousin, a lady cousin, who wants a divorce! Ken, this is the biggest break you've ever had.

Helen Bartlett: If you'd only let me go out and get a job.
Kenneth Bartlett: I'm taking care of you.
Helen Bartlett: A lot of wives work - even millionaires' wives.
Kenneth Bartlett: Oh, but that's different. They work because they're bored and not as a signal to the rest of the worid that their husbands need help. If you went to work, I'd be a confessed failure and I'm not that - yet.
