Quotes 

  • Ricardo : But I will still remember the happiness we've known.

  • Ricardo : And what was it you wanted to see me about?

    Rosa : I suppose I sent for you?

    Ricardo : Well you meant to. Didn't she, Marie?

  • Fiorello : [Fiorello, Tomasso, and Ricardo has just finished a hearty Italian feast; to Tomasso]  Well, Tomasso, you feel-a better now, eh?

    [Tomasso gleefully nods his head] 

    Fiorello : [to Ricardo]  And you, Ricardo, how do you feel?

    Ricardo : After a meal like that? Great! Why, I could sing my head off.

    Fiorello : Go ahead. Sing.

    Ricardo : [singing]  Cosi-Cosa. It's a wonderful word tra-la-la-la.

  • Fiorello : [Driftwood, Fiorello, Tomasso and Ricardo are sitting on a park bench; Fiorello pushes Driftwood off the bench]  Now there's room.

    Otis B. Driftwood : [sarcastically]  Well, that's all I needed. I'm certainly glad I met you boys. First, you get me kicked out of my job, then you get me thrown out of my hotel, and finally you push me off a park bench. Well, there's one consolation: nothing more can happen to me.

    Policeman : Hey, get off the grass.

    Otis B. Driftwood : Well, I was wrong.

    Otis B. Driftwood : [Driftwood tries to drink from a water fountain, only to have the water shrink away at low pressure]  People drink too much water, anyhow. I'm certainly glad you came along. The day you boys came into my life, I had a good job and was about to marry a rich widow. Now I can't even sit on the grass.

    Fiorello : I'd give you my seat, but I'm sitting here.

    Otis B. Driftwood : Well, that's an offer. I tell you, I'd like to think it over for a couple of days. Where can I find you?

    Fiorello : Don't worry. Wherever you are, you'll find us.

    Otis B. Driftwood : Oh, I'm sick of that; let's meet somewhere else.

    Ricardo : [Tomasso whistles when Rosa appears]  It's Rosa!

    Fiorello : Rosa!

    Otis B. Driftwood : Well, at least I can get my bench back.

  • Ricardo : [singing]  These funny little words don't really mean a thing, It's just a phrase that now-a-days Italians love to sing, Cosi Cosa! It's a wonderful word, Tra la la la, When anyone asks you how you are, It's proper to say Cosi Cosa Cosi Cosa! If a lady should ask you if you care, You don't have to start a love affair, Say Cosi Cosa...

  • Ricardo : Because I'm in love with you, you call me a fool. Well, there may be something in that.
