- Tony Naylor: We're trying to finance our show. I'd like to take you folks in as partners. Now, please don't rush but who'd like to be the first to write a check?
- Jerry Ralby: Of course, we've just given you the highlights.
- Al Marsh: And we got some terrific lowlights. Like the part when I play a 36 inch man dropped from a flying saucer, I zoom through the...
- Tony Naylor: It's dynamite!
- Bubbles Cassidy: Spread out, boys, you bother me. I hear you knockin' but you can't come in.
- [singing]
- Bubbles Cassidy: Let me warn you fellas, I'll be hard to handle, I won't give an inch, So don't go and bet it's easy to get me in a clinch...
- Bubbles Cassidy: [singing] I'm prepared to wrestle, If safety demands, I'll wrestle those guys with four pair of eyes and sixteen hands...
- Tony Naylor: No wonder business is bad. Women come to these places to be made alluring! Look at that sketch. It wouldn't lure a sailor his first day off the boat!
- Jerry Ralby: [singing] When you dance you're charming and you're gentle
- Clarisse: If our lips should brush it's accidental
- Jerry Ralby: You know my approach is strictly mental
- Clarisse: Good heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos, A that's why I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup,
- Jerry Ralby: You know that music leads the way to romance, So if I hold you in my arms...
- Clarisse: I won't dance!
- Tony Naylor: Paris isn't bricks and steel and mortar. Paris is a beautiful woman! The perfect hostess. She dines you, wines you, entertains you. She sees to it that you meet someone wonderful. And then after you fall in love, she discreetly leaves you alone.
- Tony Naylor: [singing] You're devastating and so far above me, To think of mating I never could dare...
- Max Fogelsby: Champagne for everybody! And remember, champagne, tous les chèques. Let's live a little!
- Zsa Zsa: Oh, le champagne! C'est bien! And the bubbles! À santé!
- Max Fogelsby: Hey, duchess, care to wrestle a few choruses?
- Bubbles Cassidy: Well, if you don't mind, I...
- Max Fogelsby: Why should I mind? I'm the one who asked you! Come on, let's go!
- Bubbles Cassidy: You've got a lot of nerve. What do you think I am? A bodyguard or something?
- Tony Naylor: But, Bubbles, baby...
- Bubbles Cassidy: Don't you baby Bubbles me!
- Tony Naylor: Don't you see? The girl's designing the dresses. The dresses will get us dough for the show. Looking after her means looking after your investment.
- Bubbles Cassidy: I like her designs; but, I'm not so sure about yours!
- Tony Naylor: Now, look, don't you think I should take her home, make sure she gets there?
- Bubbles Cassidy: Let Al take her home! He's in the taxi, waiting for her.
- Tony Naylor: He's in no shape to be trusted.
- Bubbles Cassidy: I see, so Al's gonna take me home?
- Tony Naylor: Nah, I wouldn't let him. You're gonna take him home.
- Bubbles Cassidy: I got a better I idea. I'll take her home and you take him home.
- Tony Naylor: That is a good idea. We'll try it next time.
- Clarisse: It takes a girl years to develop a reserved personality and develop a few complexes and what happens? She goes out and meets a man and has a few dances and a few drinks and all those years of work are just right out the window!
- Jerry Ralby: You're a very good dancer; but, you have no idea what dancing really means.
- Clarisse: I do to! I've looked it up. Dancing is moving parts of or your entire body to rhythm to express an action or a - emotion.
- Jerry Ralby: And that's all?
- Clarisse: Is there more?
- Jerry Ralby: There are many things about dancing you won't find in a dictionary.
- Jerry Ralby: To me, dancing is the loveliest way I know to meet a girl. It's the only way I can hold a girl in my arms in a crowded room and still have her all to myself.
- Jerry Ralby: All I ask is just one more chance. Just one more dance?
- Clarisse: You practically have me on the floor already; so, why don't we do it the right way.
- Bubbles Cassidy: When I gain weight, I worry about my figure. And when I worry about my figure, I got no time to worry about other things.
- Al Marsh: Oh, I get it. the more calories, the less memories.
- Al Marsh: How many choruses are there to this thing anyway?
- Tony Naylor: Seventy-six.
- Al Marsh: Oh, that's the spirit!
- Bubbles Cassidy: Listen, let me tell you something about Tony. Believe me, I've done a lot of research about the subject. He's what we call in America, quote, a fellow with a drive, unquote. Which is just another name for being *selfish*, thoughtless, egotistical, self-centered, and inconsiderate!
- Bubbles Cassidy: I think he loves you a great deal, but, not as much as he loves himself. He's your competition, not me.
- Stephanie: [singing] Now laughing friends deride, Tears I cannot hide, So I smile and say, When a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes.
- Max Fogelsby: [to the stewardess] Pardon me, Lieutenant, were you with us when we took off or did you just get on?
- [laughs, turns to Tony]
- Max Fogelsby: I always kid these girls. They love it!
- Al Marsh: [to the Fashion Show audience] Roberta. What memories are kindled by that magic name. Ah, but tonight, we put away our memories of an old bouquet. And summon the irrepressible today. In silks and satins, in moods and music, we bring you the new, the great, the gay!
- Al Marsh: [to the Fashion Show audience] Oh, yes, it is the morn, bright youth of day, when sunlight fills the world and hope is born, gay flowers nod their welcome to the breeze.
- Jerry Ralby: Honey, I'm the poorest / Example of a tourist / I bathe in gloom / At just the thought of Napoleon's tomb / For educational purpose I'd learn much more with you / If I toured a night club floor with you / Dance each dance from eight to four with you / What say Baby, what say Baby?
- [new intro lyrics to "I Won't Dance" apparently written for this movie]
- Tony Naylor: [Looking at the dress shop catalog] Now, there's a little number calculated to drive a man clean out of his mind. Who dreamed that one up?
- Stephanie: I did. That was designed for the Baroness de Risor, our oldest customer.
- Tony Naylor: And when she dies, you're out of business, huh?
- Tony Naylor: [When his girlfriend arrives unexpectedly from America] This is, uh, Miss Stephanie, uh, Bubbles Cassidy. She, uh, owns a small piece of, uh, our piece, of... your piece.
- Al Marsh: Do you think we can take in a picture tonight? One of those foreign movies where they play pictures - in English.
