• Frances Elliott , Nancy Barklay , Charles : [singing]  One kiss to last us forever

  Frances Elliott : Then let our moment be through...

• Nancy Barklay : How's my favorite actress?

  Frances Elliott : How's my favorite daughter?

  Nancy Barklay : Oh, just fine. But, my hands are so sore from applauding so long and hard. Gee, you were wonderful.

• Nancy Barklay : I feel like I've lived all the parts I've acted. I've been a nun, I've been a drunkard. I've played Portia, I've been in love. I've been so many people, sometimes I wonder if the real me can ever fall in love.

  Frances Elliott : When you fall in love, darling, you'll be just plain Nancy Barklay and your only concern will be to make your husband happy.

• Frances Elliott : Would you like fish today for lunch or chops?

  Gregory Elliott : Let's have chops. No, no, no, it's too hot for chops. Let's have something nice and cool like chili peppers.

  Frances Elliott : Oh, I don't know. How about ice cream and cucumbers?

  Gregory Elliott : No, no, no. I think some lemonade, baked beans and sauerkraut, eh?

• Frances Elliott : Well, hello, darling. All fresh and ready for Rio?

• Frances Elliott : Are you sure this is funny?

  Nancy Barklay : It doesn't sound very funny when you tell it; but, oh, the dialogue's simply magnificent. And, well, there's a great part in it for me. I fall in love and I have a nervous breakdown and men commit suicide over me and, oh, just everything. Oh, you'll love it.

• Gregory Elliott : She and this fella are captured by headhunters and they're all going to be boiled in oil.

  Frances Elliott : Oh, darling, I should be boiled in oil.

  Gregory Elliott : You know, I feel like getting boiled myself.
