- Gloria De Vadnuz: Oh, shut up! Tonio Costa's a great singer, a fine gentlemen and one of my *most* intimate friends.
- Tonio Costa: Look, I'm going to Paris with you!
- Ladislas Tabory: No you are not! I know what happens to you in Paris. You get mixed up with some scheming dame and the next thing we know, you're in trouble again.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Tonio, my darling, I wish you'd seen me out there. I was fighting for you like a tigress - one helpless woman against a thousand beastly music lovers.
- Tonio Costa: Where were you this morning?
- Gloria De Vadnuz: What time?
- Tonio Costa: When the plane left London.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Tonio I know this looks very bad, but, I can explain everything. I was on my way to the airport and then...
- Tonio Costa: Yeah, I know, you ran into a bus!
- Gloria De Vadnuz: That was in Rio. This time it was Cartiers.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Don't worry darling. I'm going to help you. This time I want to hide you in my Palazzo in Venice. Remember how I kept you undercover last year in Mexico? Hmm?
- Tonio Costa: I sure do. We were the only two people in Acapulco who didn't have a suntan. Lets go to Venice!
- Tonio Costa: [to the bartender] Okay, just a nightcap. Whiskey and soda.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Make it two please!
- Tonio Costa: No ice, for the Countess.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Aren't you a little bit surprised to see me here?
- Tonio Costa: I expected you days ago.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: That's why I didn't come sooner.
- Tonio Costa: Are the boys still waiting outside?
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Oh, the boys! I forgot them in Vienna. Tonio, what's the matter with you? You didn't expect me to go to the Opera without some escorts? Besides, three men together, nothing.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Tonio, darling, lets cut out this foolishness. Let's have some fun! I am going to give a party for you tomorrow. Just a few intimate friends. And then you come up to my villa.
- Tonio Costa: You have a villa in Capri? Since when?
- Gloria De Vadnuz: I don't know. I think I inherited it. I have nine bedrooms! How would you like to be my house guest?
- Female Admirer: Tonio Costa's going to sing for us!
- [Female admirers roar with approval]
- Tonio Costa: What's your favorite Opera?
- Female Admirer: Opera? Don't you know anything good?
- Tonio Costa: Good?
- Leader of Admirers in Capri: Something real cool and dreamy!
- Female Admirer: Oh, yes! Oh, yes, please!
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Darling, isn't your husband coming for the weekend?
- Slow Dancing Female Party Guest: No. He just left.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Lucky!
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Tonio! Tonio, you are late.
- Tonio Costa: You forgot to tell me, we're not dressing.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Darling, in Capri, do like the Romans do.
- Tonio Costa: And I thought you were inviting just a few of your most intimate friends?
- Gloria De Vadnuz: But, darling, these are my most intimate friends: United Press, Associated Press, and Mr. Reuters. I just love to have my picture in the papers!
- Tonio Costa: Do you happen to know the Bruckners?
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Yes. She's such a pretty girl. Her Uncle is a great poet. I will have to read his book.
- LaBella: Excuse me, Aldo says you are a singer by profession.
- Tonio Costa: Well, that's what it says in my passport.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Tonio, I know you better than anybody else. You couldn't be serious about this love business.
- Christa: I'd give anything to hear you Tonio. But, I'm not going to marry you, unless I can hear. I wouldn't want to be a burden to you.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: [to the Judge] Signore Costa's a fine, respectable man. Since his early childhood, he was taught to be kind, honest and hard-working. He had only one ambition: to become a great singer. He's also a great lover! Oh! I mean of the fine arts.
- Tonio Costa: That's my boat!
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Darling, at least allow me to give you a lift on my yacht. These ferry boats are so crowded with people.
- Tonio Costa: I know, but I've made an amazing discovery: I'm one of them. Ciao! Ciao.
- Gloria De Vadnuz: Au revoir. Bon voyage.
