- [looking in the mirror] Hello, gorgeous.
- Note: ranked #81 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.
- You think beautiful girls are going to stay in style forever? I should say not! Any minute now they're going to be out! Finished! Then it'll be my turn!
- I'm a bagel on a plate full of onion rolls!
- "No law against waiting," I said, "people do it all the time." For once, I didn't say too much, I didn't say too little, I said just what I said and then walked.
- [singing] Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter.
- [singing] Don't tell me not to fly, I simply gotta
If someone takes a spill It's me and not you
Don't bring a cloud to rain on my parade.- Don't Rain on My Parade
[edit] Dialogue
- Nick: I'd be happy to wait while you change.
- Fanny: I'd have to change too much, nobody could wait that long.
- Fanny: Where I come from, when two people... well, sort of love each other... oh, never mind.
- Nick: Well? What do they do when they "sort of love each other"?
- Fanny: Well, one of them says, "Why don't we get married?"
- Nick: Really?
- Fanny: Yeah, and sometimes it's even the man.
- Fanny: You could get lonesome being that free.
- Nick: You could get lonesome being that busy.
- Fanny: Now who'd think to look at us that we got the same problem!
- Fanny: He's a gentleman. A gentleman fits in anyplace.
- Rose: A sponge fits in any place.
- Rose: When you look at him, you only see what you want to see.
- Fanny: I see him as he is. I love him as he is!
- Rose: Fanny. Love him a little less. Help him a little more.
- Fanny: Flo! Flo, quit yelling or your ulcer will flare up.
- Florenz: That's funny coming from you, you gave me that ulcer!
- [Nick has just ordered "filet de boeuf, sauce bordelaise" in French]
- Fanny: I would have ordered roast beef and potatoes.
- Nick: I did.
- Fanny: If I can't tell when you're ordering roast beef and potatoes, how will I know when you're making advances?
- Nick: You'll know. I'll be much more direct.
