Quotes 

• Joe Manion : That's very touching. But unless I have my $20,000 by tomorrow morning...

  Danny Miller : You'll have one of your gorillas bump me off.

  Joe Manion : You've been seeing too many movies.

• Danny Miller : We've had only one fight in our lives, when we were kids. I don't want to have another one with you. Because, you licked me that time.

• Terpsichore : You need me.

  Danny Miller : Like a hole in the head.

• Danny Miller : Boy, I thought I had butterflies in my stomach before; but, now they're wearing roller skates.

• Danny Miller : Max, you mean to say you've had a girl like this up your sleeve and never even showed her to me?

• Terpsichore : I suppose you think it was sort of bold of me, pushing my way in as I did.

  Danny Miller : I can't say you're a shrinking violet.

• Terpsichore : Why do you keep staring at me like that?

  Danny Miller : Staring? I wasn't aware of it.

  Terpsichore : Well, you've been looking at me in an awfully strange way.

• Terpsichore : [singing]  What's the matter, Don't you want to do it?

  Danny Miller , Eddie : No! But, you talked us into it!

• Terpsichore : [singing]  I want to marry the two of you

  Eddie : Get a load of that dame

  Danny Miller : I think she's weird

  Terpsichore : Why not? Maybe you've got something that he hasn't got...

• Danny Miller : I made this whole show up out of thin air. It's all a fairy tale and Terpsichore's any cock-eyed thing I say she is.

  Terpsichore : I'd be careful, Mr. Daniel Miller. She might hear you say that - and she might not like it!

  Danny Miller : Oh, she might not like it, huh? I suppose she might come down out of the clouds and slap me right across the face.

  Terpsichore : She might! If you continue to paint her as a cheap, man-chasing trollop!

  Danny Miller : Now get this, once and for all, if I say Terpsichore is a trollop, she's a trollop!

• Danny Miller : The Greek goddess Terpsichore - you know who she is don't you?

  Terpsichore : Oh, I think so. She's the most talented of all the goddesses, isn't she?

  Danny Miller : I don't know. I never met a goddess. Well, the one in our show is just an ordinary dame.

• Danny Miller : You're going with me. I want to show you off.

  Terpsichore : Thanks, Danny.

  Danny Miller : Oh, this is the happiest night of my life. You really killed 'em, baby.

• Danny Miller : Darling, I want to tell you that...

  [kisses Terpsichore] 

  Danny Miller : That's what I was trying to say. I wanted to hold you like that every time I've been near you. Even when you slapped me in the face.

• Terpsichore : I hope its wonderful.

  Danny Miller : Well, if you come through like you did in dress rehearsal, we'll have them tossing their wives in the air.
