Quotes 

  • Steve Raleigh : [singing]  If you want to learn to dance, You can be a social riot, Get right in the swim and try it, Follow in my footsteps...

  • Peter Trot : Hey, you're a pretty good lookin' gal. Did you ever think of goin' on the stage?

    Steve Raleigh : Were you ever stage struck?

    Peter Trot : Yeah, hit me right here.

    [puts his hands over his stomach] 

  • Sally Lee : You sing it.

    Steve Raleigh : Me? If I sang one note they'd stop the train and come running back here with lanterns looking for a flat wheel. Now, come on, sing it.

    Sally Lee : But, after all, it's your song.

    Steve Raleigh : Nah, it isn't. It's yours and mine.

    Sally Lee : [singing]  Love can come along in the strangest ways, It looks at a lucky couple and sets their hearts ablaze, I can feel that fire in my happy heart, For we are the lucky couple - couple - look what we have for a start, The stars that shine, Are yours and mine...

  • Steve Raleigh : Now, I'm going to do something for you Duffy. Here's the $200 you loaned me when things were tough.

    Duffy : Why Steve, I can hardly believe it.

    Steve Raleigh : You didn't believe I'd pay you back?

    Duffy : No, I can hardly believe I ever had it to lend you.

  • Hamilton Brown : Where'd you find her?

    Steve Raleigh : In a boxcar.

    Duffy : I beg your pardon?

    Steve Raleigh : In a boxcar. You know the thing they carry horses in?

    Hamilton Brown : With a horse?

    Steve Raleigh : Yes!

    Duffy : Let me get this straight now, you found a girl and a horse in a boxcar?

    Steve Raleigh : Right!

    Duffy : And she's a great dancer.

    Steve Raleigh : Right!

    Duffy : You mean the girl.

    Steve Raleigh : Yes. The girl.

    Duffy : That's a relief.

  • Hamilton Brown : But, Steve, you can't put a show over with an unknown in the lead.

    Steve Raleigh : Why can't I? The picture people do it. They're always giving some unknown a chance and then praying for them to make good so they can cash in on a new star.

    Duffy : Yeah, but pictures are different Steve. They print them on celluloid. If the girl doesn't make good, they can just take a pair of scissors - cut her out, like that. Now, this girl gets on the stage and she has to stay there till the curtain comes down. By that time, you'll be over Newark, looking for a new backer and I'll be apologizing to the newspaper boys for having called you a smart Producer.

  • Sally Lee : Look, Broadway!

    Steve Raleigh : Yep, that's Broadway. The place people come to from all parts of the world, to write home for money.

  • Steve Raleigh : Oh, we're going to put a ring through Broadway's nose and lead it around - just you and I.

  • Sally Lee : You're not doing this because you - well - because you like me a little?

    Steve Raleigh : No. Oh, just because we'll be working together doesn't mean that I shouldn't like you, does it?

    Sally Lee : No.

    Steve Raleigh : Because I couldn't help doing that.

    Sally Lee : I'm glad you can't help it - now.

    [kiss] 

    Steve Raleigh : Well, that wasn't work, was it?

  • Steve Raleigh : I need twelve hundred and fifty dollars.

    Herman Whipple : Well, I'd like to help you out, Steve, but, after all, twelve hundred and fifty dollars is twelve hundred and fifty dollars.

  • Steve Raleigh : Some other time.

    George Papaloopas : There's no presence like the time. You got to make hay while the iron is hot.
