• [Millie has just spotted movie star Brooks Mason on the deck of a cruise ship] 

  Millie De Grasse : My dream man! I'm gonna meet him in person. And I warn you, if he makes one false move, I'm his!

  Dorothy March : I suppose you think it'll do you a lot of good to throw yourself at him.

  Millie De Grasse : Throw myself at him? If I thought it would do any good, I'd have myself shot at him out of a cannon!

• Millie De Grasse : So, you're going to go through with it. You're gonna marry this Grayson girl just because she has a big plantation with lovely pineapples.

• Millie De Grasse : Ohhh. Oh, Dot! Dot! Oh, am I excited, am I thrilled, am I all goose pimples. Am I? Am I? Well, of course, I am.

• Millie De Grasse : Oh! Oh, Dorothy, feel my heart, feel my pulse. Something has stopped. Oh, maybe I'm dead?

• Millie De Grasse : [singing]  I'm on my merry way, I'm on a holiday, I mean, I'm on my way to Honolulu. The days just drift along, The nights are filled with song, I hope, That I'm not wrong on Honolulu. I bought a ukulele, I practice on it daily, It sounds wicky-wacky-waily, My hula-hula song...

• Millie De Grasse : [clapping after Dorothy finishes her "Honolulu" dance]  Isn't that wonderful?

  Lifeguard on Ship : It's swell.

  Millie De Grasse : You know, she keeps spinning like that all the time - and I'm always dizzy.

• Millie De Grasse : What's the matter? Do your tootsies hurt?

• Millie De Grasse : I thought she'd never get over her fright. We nearly died until the doctor came.

  Brooks Mason : What was the trouble?

  Millie De Grasse : Well, she woke up one night and she looked down and both her feet were black. But, when the doctor came, he took off her stockin's and then we all went back to bed.

• Dorothy March : This is Millicent De Grasse.

  Brooks Mason : How do you do, Miss De Grasse?

  Millie De Grasse : Oh, just call me Millie and cut De Grasse.

• Millie De Grasse : I don't think my boyfriend likes me any more.

  Dorothy March : Oh, so you found a friend already?

  Millie De Grasse : Well, he's not exactly a friend. I met him in the elevator. He said, "Where you going tonight, girlie?" And I said, "Third floor." And he said, "How about going downstairs for a bite?" So, we went downstairs and I bit him.

• Dorothy March : There are plenty of other fish in the sea.

  Millie De Grasse : Well, that may be all right for you, but, I'm not the babe I used to be.

• Millie De Grasse : Would I lie to you? Oh, Mr. Grayson, you don't know what it's like to live with a crook. To go to sleep every night with a gun under your husband's pillow. You don't know what its like to kiss your husband goodbye every morning and not know whether he'll come home to dinner dead or alive.

• Millie De Grasse : Oh, I wish I was a contortionist. I'd kick myself all the way home.

• Millie De Grasse : Ahh-ah-ah. Better you don't talk. The less you say the less you'll have to take back.

  Brooks Mason : But, I'm Brooks...

  Millie De Grasse : Oh, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Everyone else in this world is one person and you have to be two - and both of them no good!

  Brooks Mason : Now, listen here...

  Millie De Grasse : And chances are you're somebody else, some place else, and engaged to a *third* girl. It's a - it's - it's trigonometry! That's what it is. Now, get out of here you bigamist!

• Millie De Grasse : I think you're terrible, horrible, and despicable - and that's only a hint of what I *really* think of you.
