Mike Dodd : You know these - these lily white hands are working too hard.
Corinne Talbot : So, you'd rather put them in dish water?
Mike Dodd : Maybe you'd like playing housewife. Look, boss, we're in the right business, we could write beautiful music together. We could book ourselves into heaven 52 weeks a year.

Tony Martinez : Corinne, Confucius say: Woman who want man, thinks of a thousand ways to make him love her. And no ways, to make him hate her.

Mike Dodd : Corinne, listen to me. Steve's in love with Lisa Johns. He's not even looking at other women.
Corinne Talbot : So you think it's all decided?
Mike Dodd : Lisa wants a ring on her finger, you want to put a ring threw Steve's nose. Which do you think he'd rather have?
-
Corinne Talbot : You're an investment, Lisa. You'll become an idol of the teenagers. You'll develop a big public. Hundreds of fan clubs. College boys will be voting you the girl they'd most want to get caught in a compromising situation with. My agency will be spending a fortune on your publicity and exploitation. The bigger you and the boys become, the more money we'll all make. But, you're the only girl with the outfit. The only one that means: S-E-X. Like a movie star!
-
Corinne Talbot : What's your big idea?
Steve Hollis : A rock-n-roll jamboree.
Corinne Talbot : Keep going!
Steve Hollis : Now, for weeks I've had other bands and vocal groups making up rock-n-roll arrangements. Now, as I see it, we take a bunch of these good acts, put them all together into one big show, and we'll give them a night of jive they've never seen before. Now, to get the movement going coast to coast, I think I can talk one of the big networks into televising us on a national hook-up.
Corinne Talbot : Son, you've hit the jackpot!
-
Corinne Talbot : Well, it's a good thing I had another man warming up in the bullpen.
