- Flo Hartman: I'm also a man who should have his head examined. Not that it would do any good because the doctors wouldn't find anything in it.
- Chita: A woman needs a man. No? And if she's finished with him, then, the only other one is you. And, you are a man, yes?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Well, according to the last census.
- 'Doll Face' Carroll: Do you mean to stand there and tell me I ain't got class? Why, in Duluth, I was billed as the... You tell 'em, Mike.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: The Classy Chassis from Tallahassee. 'Cept she's from Brooklyn, but that don't rhyme with nothin'.
- Chita: You think I make good on Broadstreet, too?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Aw, you're a chinch. You can't miss. You'll probably wind up being another Carmen Miranda.
- Chita: Carmen Miranda? That one who go tiko-tiko-ta, tiko-tiko-ta, tiko-tiko-tiko-ta. Bah! What has she got that I haven't got?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Wait a minute, honey. Don't you want to make with the good luck?
- 'Doll Face' Carroll: Oh, I'm so nervous, I almost forgot.
- [bends over, Mike kicks her behind]
- 'Doll Face' Carroll: [singing] Somebody's walking in my dreams, That's why I'm talking in my dream, Someone keeps butting in...
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Hannegan's the name. Michael Francis Hannegan. I own that show down at the Gaiety. I run it and I stage it. And I personally handle this little lady. Any more cracks out of those mugs and I wipe up the theater with 'em.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Okay, so she's Doll Face Carroll and she works in bur-le-que. What difference does that make? She's not just a stripper, she's a personality. Why, in her field, she's the tops!
- Nicky Ricci: [singing] Red hot and beautiful, That's what you are, Red hot and beautiful, With the charms I love and the glamour of a movie star...
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Somethin' I learned while browsin' through the encyclopedia, women and carpets - they're much better when you beat 'em regularly. Chew on that for awhile, chum.
- Nicky Ricci: Can't you find some time for me, Frankie?
- Frankie Porter: Oh, maybe sometime I'll find some time.
- 'Doll Face' Carroll: "Culture", he says. "The unusual approach." What the heck is that?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: If it means what I think it does, I should have pasted him one.
- Flo's Aide: She's the reason why the temperature downtown is 10 degrees higher than uptown.
- Flo's Aide: That's right! You know what happens when she goes into her act? The air conditioning goes haywire. It can't compete with her.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: I see you're wearing your long face tonight, Nick. What's the matter? Is Frankie giving you the brush off again?
- Nicky Ricci: Yeah.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Why don't you try sockin' her, like I told you?
- Nicky Ricci: I couldn't do that, Mike. Why, I couldn't lift a finger to her.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Who said anything about liftin' any finger? Never give her less than five.
- Frederick Manly Gerard: We start - tomorrow morning?
- 'Doll Face' Carroll: Yeah, tomorrow morning at two o'clock in the afternoon. At my place.
- Nicky Ricci: Shut that big trap of yours.
- Frankie Porter: How dare you talk to me like that.
- Nicky Ricci: I said, shut up!
- Frankie Porter: I was only stickin' up for my rights.
- Nicky Ricci: You'll not only get your rights but a couple of lefts if you don't *button* that face of yours. Now, go to your dressing room and make your change.
- Frankie Porter: [smiles] Yes, Nicky.
- Nicky Ricci: [singing] You can do such fabulous things, With eyes that lull me to dream, Lips that say, "Say when"...
- Nicky Ricci: Mike, it worked!
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Sure. Like I told you, Nicky, that's the way to handle women. Treat 'em rough. Oh, some of 'em, anyway.
- Harold - the Soda Jerk: [singing] Its always fair weather, When hep cats get together! And every time they meet, Here's the way you'll hear them greet, Greet!
- Frankie Porter: A hubba-hubba-hubba, Hello Jack!
- Nicky Ricci: Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, I just got back!
- Frankie Porter: Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, Lets shoot some breeze! Say, whatever happened to the Japanese?
- Nicky Ricci: Well, a hubba-hubba-hubba, havent you heard?
- Frankie Porter: A hubba-hubba-hubba, Slip me the word!
- Nicky Ricci: I got it from a guy who was in the know, It was mighty smoky over Tokyo!
- Frankie Porter: A friend of mine in a B-29, Dropped another load for luck, As he flew away, He was heard to say: A hubba-hubba-hubba
- Nicky Ricci: Yuk, yuk...
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: It slapped me in the face.
- Chita: You slapped your own face and you deserve it too.
- Frankie Porter: [singing] Slip me some skin!
- Nicky Ricci: Well you're lookin mighty purdy Miss Curly Locks!
- Frankie Porter: I'm the Gravel Gertie of the bobby socks!
- Nicky Ricci: A yuttata yuttata yuttata, You talk big!
- Frankie Porter: Well I'm the fresh tomata, You can dig! Let's have a heart to hearta and you'll decide! That I'm a chick who's strictly on the solid side!
- Chita: [singing] Chico Chico, From Puerto Rico, All they all think Chico Chico pretty slick-o, He's got ego, Mis amigos, Every gay muchacho wants to go where he go, When it's rumba or bolero...
- Chita: These last few weeks of rehearsals makes everybody jumpy. Even me! I'm so nervous, I forgot, for last night to take a bath with my girdle on.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: I wish someone like you come call on me. You know who come knockin' at my door?
- Chita: Wolves?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: And milk men. He's a wolf too.
