- Joe Hammond: What's the matter? What's this? You've been kissed before...
- Willie: What difference does that make? If I'd been married before, would that make you wanna marry me? If I'd been hurt before, would that make you wanna hurt me?
- [first lines]
- Frank Colloni: Whaddya say, Joe.
- [to Charley]
- Frank Colloni: Boy, this is sure seein' Europe the hard way!
- Charley Grayson: Aw, it's better than dodgin' those sheriffs in Kentucky. Besides, we might do pretty good here.
- Peggy: Hi, lover. Did you miss me?
- Joe Hammond: Miss you? I couldn't eat; couldn't sleep, couldn't drink...
- Peggy: Uh-huh. Couldn't even write, you muscle-bound ape.
- Frank Colloni: Would you mind taking off your dress?
- Willie: Sometimes there are phrases in English I do not understand. Did you ask me to take my dress off?
- Frank Colloni: Afraid of me?
- Willie: I'm not afraid of anyone!
- [Willy removes her dress and strikes a pose]
- Willie: Well?
- Frank Colloni: You know what I was thinking?
- Willie: Probably.
- Frank Colloni: You're wrong. I've been thinking lately the act might go better if I had a partner. That's all. It's just an idea.
- Willie: [to Joe] If you were *starving* to death and *howling* for food, I wouldn't throw you a *rotten* bone.
- [he backhands her]
- Joe Hammond: [grabbing her by the shoulders] You're stuck with me, baby. And you know it. Whatever I am, we're both made of the same kind of stuff.
- Willie: [she pushes him away] We are not! I'm not *dirty* like you. When I stole your money I was hungry. Whatever I've done wrong shames me. But *you,* you love to *wallow* in the mud.
- [quietly]
- Willie: You've been paid in full. Now get out of here.
