• Nellie Bly : I want to play hard to get - for a change.

• Johnny : Are you a real redhead?

  Nellie Bly : I'm a real everything.

  Johnny : What's your lucky number?

  Nellie Bly : 1. One at a time.

  Johnny : One it is. Would you mind giving them your magic touch? Just for luck. You better get the bottom one too. By this time tomorrow, this ship should be the S.S. Johnny. What's your name, Lucky?

  Nellie Bly : Nellie. Nellie Bly.

  Johnny : Welcome aboard!

  Cully : That's it, Bly! I need a name to rhyme with "eye" for a new song I'm writing. Now I got it. Nellie Bly!

  Johnny : You're going to be made famous in a song.

  Nellie Bly : Well, I've tried every other way.

  Johnny : [as the roulette wheel spins]  I don't even have to look. I know it's going to be number 1.

  [finally the tiny silver ball falls into the number "1" slot of the wheel] 

  Cully : Ha! Ha! Maybe that gypsy knew something.

  Johnny : Maybe? My future just got here!

• Clint Braden : I thought you came back because you missed me.

  Nellie Bly : I wasn't good enough for Broadway. I'm big in the small time and small in the big time.

  Clint Braden : You'll always be my star attraction.

• Clint Braden : Johnny, my number one girl: Nellie Bly.

  Johnny : Well, how about that? She means a lot to both of us!

  Clint Braden : She's private stock - all 120 pounds of her.

  Nellie Bly : 118.

• Nellie Bly : What would you do if I got big eyes for someone else?

• Nellie Bly : Maybe the gypsy was right. Maybe we were meant for each other.

• Nellie Bly : Johnny thinks I'm his Lady Luck. He just wants me to go to the casino with him.

  Frankie : What else does he have in mind?

  Nellie Bly : Well, that depends on how much he wins - or how much I want to lose.

• Nellie Bly : What happened?

  Frankie : He won and I lost. And it's just the way I want it!

• Nellie Bly : You sound more like me than I do!
