- Dick Avery: When I get through with you, you'll look like... What do you call beautiful? A tree. You'll look like a tree.
- Dick Avery: You ARE mad, aren't you?
- Jo Stockton: No, I'm not mad. I... I'm hurt and disappointed and... and mad.
- [Dick kisses Jo]
- Jo Stockton: Why did you do that?
- Dick Avery: Empathy. I put myself in your place and I felt that you wanted to be kissed.
- Jo Stockton: I'm afraid you put yourself in the WRONG place. I have no desire to be kissed, by you or anyone else.
- Maggie Prescott: Wait a minute. I understand the whole thing. She put herself in your place. All you have to do is put yourself in her place, and the two of you are bound to run into each other in *somebody's* place.
- Maggie Prescott: Oh, she's just filled with virtues, isn't she? Only she's not wasting any of them on us.
- Maggie Prescott: Look at her. I think her face is perfectly funny. The Quality Woman must have grace, elegance and pizazz.
- Dick Avery: This is the first time I've seen you lack imagination. Every girl on every page of Quality has grace, elegance, and pizazz. Now, what's wrong with bringing out a girl who has character, spirit, and intelligence?
- Dovitch: That certainly would be novel in a fashion magazine.
- Dick Avery: Sir, I owe you a drink.
- Maggie Prescott: [looking for signs of intellect] Marion, dear... what are you reading?
- Marion: [holds up comic book] "Minutemen from Mars"!
- Maggie Prescott: Lettie, take an editorial! "To the women of America...!" No, make it to the women everywhere. "Banish the black, burn the blue, and bury the beige. From now on, girls, think pink!"
- Jo Stockton: How could I be a model? I have no illusions about my looks - I think my face looks funny.
- Jo Stockton: If the individual rights are not respected by the group, the group itself cannot exist for long.
- Maggie Prescott: What does that mean?
- Dick Avery: Something like do unto others as you'd have others do unto you.
- Maggie Prescott: [to Jo] We're only going to do unto you for a moment and you have my word that it's no more than we would do unto ourselves.
- Jo Stockton: What about these pictures?
- Dick Avery: Well, we're using this shop as a background for some fashion pictures for Quality Magazine.
- Jo Stockton: I'm sorry, but I can't let you do this. Dr. Post would never approve. She doesn't approve of fashion magazines. It's chichi and an unrealistic approach to self-impressions as well as economics.
- Dick Avery: We want to sit at your feet and learn. We have so much to learn.
- Maggie Prescott: We sit at your feet humble and ignorant but so willing.
- Jo Stockton: Look, you two just leave his feet alone.
- Maggie Prescott: [talking about the newest edition of her magazine] This is just paper. And if I send paper to the American woman, I will have let her down! Oh, yes. D for down, D for dreary, and D for dull and for depressing and dismal and deadly!
- Dick Avery: Let me show you something.
- [Serving wine and speaking in a friendly tone]
- Dick Avery: Gentlemen: may I take this opportunity to tell you that you look like a mess of worms? And that you not only look like a mess of worms, but you ARE a mess of worms. And I'll bet you've been sitting at this table all these years because if you ever left it you'd be picked up on a vagrancy charge.
- Old French men: [Nod and smile in enthusiastic agreement]
- Dick Avery: Your defense rests.
- Maggie Prescott: In the 60 years of "Quality" magazine, this hits rock bottom. If I let this go through, I will have failed the American woman.
- Babs, Laura, Lettie: Oh no, Miss Prescott, don't say that.
- Maggie Prescott: The great American woman, who stands out there naked, waiting for me to tell her what to wear.
- Maggie Prescott: [singing] Red is dead, Blue is through, Green's obscene, Brown's taboo, And there is not the slightest excuse for plum or puce - or chartreuse, Think pink! Forget that Dior says black and rust, Think pink! Who cares if the new look has no bust...
- Jo Stockton: I don't want my hair cut. I don't want my eyebrows up or down. I want them where they are. And I see no functional advantage in a marvelous mouth.
- Jo Stockton: This is my second and last encounter with you lunatics. You just keep your hands off me, all of you. I make a delivery and find myself being pillaged and plundered.
- Maggie Prescott: Girls, the eyebrows up, a light powder. I want a little rouge right here. She needs a *marvelous* mouth. The hair - the hair is awful. It *must* come off.
- Jo Stockton: [singing] Oh, I feel, Like I could melt. Into heaven I'm hurled, I know how Columbus felt, Finding another world, Can I trust how I feel? Is this my Achilles heel?
- Jo Stockton: A man of your ability wasting his time photographing silly dresses on silly women.
- Dick Avery: Most people think they're beautiful dresses on beautiful women.
- Jo Stockton: At most, a synthetic beauty.
- Dick Avery: My work is pleasant, the pay is excellent, and I get a trip to Paris every year.
- Jo Stockton: I certainly envy you that. I'd be in Paris now if I could afford it.
- Dick Avery: You'd have a ball. You'd go to a party every night, drink nothing but champagne, swim in perfume, and a new love affair every hour on the hour.
- Dick Avery: [singing] I love your funny face, Your sunny, funny face, For you're a cutie, With more than beauty...
- Dick Avery: [singing] I want to step out, Down the Champs-Élysées, From the Arch of Triumph, To the Petit Palais, That's for me: Bonjour, Paris!
- Maggie Prescott: I want to wander ,Through the Saint-Honoré, Do some window shopping, In the Rue de la Paix, That's for me: Bonjour, Paris!
- Jo Stockton: I want to see the den of thinking men, Like Jean-Paul Sartre, I must philosophize with all the guys, Around Montmartre - and Montparnasse!
- Dick Avery, Maggie Prescott, Jo Stockton: I'm strictly tourist, But I couldn't care less, When they parlez-vous me, Then I gotta confess, That's for me: Bonjour, Paris!
- Maggie Prescott: [singing] This has got to be illegal, What I feel, Trés gay, trés chic, Trés magnifique, C'est moi, c'est vous, C'est grand, c'est too tout, It's too good to be true, All the things we can do...
- Jo Stockton: Dancing is nothing more than a form of expression or release? There's no need to be formal or cute about it. As a matter of fact, I rather feel like expressing myself now. And I could *certainly* use a release!
- Dick Avery: Now, about the guest of honor, where is she? How does she look?
- Maggie Prescott: If she's here, she looks invisible.
- Dick Avery: She didn't show?
- Dick Avery: [singing] It's most immoral for us to quarrel, Why can't we both agree? Don't you know Ben Franklin wrote about this thing at length? On the proposition that in union there is strength...
