- Frances Elliott, Nancy Barklay, Charles: [singing] One kiss to last us forever
- Frances Elliott: Then let our moment be through...
- Nancy Barklay: Just concentrate on the important ones.
- Scotty Sheldan: Well, how do I know which is which.
- Nancy Barklay: Well, some look important and some look unimportant. The ones who look unimportant are the important ones.
- Nancy Barklay: They're not just people putting on plays in barns, they're the future of the theater, tomorrow's Oliviers and Bernhardts. They're offering their time and their talent and their dreams.
- Nancy Barklay: How's my favorite actress?
- Frances Elliott: How's my favorite daughter?
- Nancy Barklay: Oh, just fine. But, my hands are so sore from applauding so long and hard. Gee, you were wonderful.
- Ricardo Domingos: These kinds of parties are universal. The labels on the bottles may be a little different; but, the labels on the people are the same.
- Nancy Barklay: I feel like I've lived all the parts I've acted. I've been a nun, I've been a drunkard. I've played Portia, I've been in love. I've been so many people, sometimes I wonder if the real me can ever fall in love.
- Frances Elliott: When you fall in love, darling, you'll be just plain Nancy Barklay and your only concern will be to make your husband happy.
- Gregory Elliott: [singing] What is so rare as an evening in June, With a moon and a gal, You can cuddle and spoon...
- Scotty Sheldan: Brazil is so far away.
- Nancy Barklay: Not if two people love each other.
- Scotty Sheldan: Oh, golly, do you - ? Do you mean it, Nancy?
- [kiss]
- Scotty Sheldan: Oh, gee. Gosh!
- Nancy Barklay: [singing] If it strikes my fancy, A-sailin' south goes Nancy, In my new sombrero, Headin ' for Janeiro...
- Nancy Barklay: [singing] Eatin' a banana, Right off the plantation, I'll cement our Pan-American relations...
- Marina Rodrigues: [singing] I wanna go to a big empty space, Where the cows and the cantaloupes play, Wanna be a cowboy gal, Wanna sit in my corral, And hipsee-i-o and kiay...
- Frances Elliott: Would you like fish today for lunch or chops?
- Gregory Elliott: Let's have chops. No, no, no, it's too hot for chops. Let's have something nice and cool like chili peppers.
- Frances Elliott: Oh, I don't know. How about ice cream and cucumbers?
- Gregory Elliott: No, no, no. I think some lemonade, baked beans and sauerkraut, eh?
- Frances Elliott: Are you sure this is funny?
- Nancy Barklay: It doesn't sound very funny when you tell it; but, oh, the dialogue's simply magnificent. And, well, there's a great part in it for me. I fall in love and I have a nervous breakdown and men commit suicide over me and, oh, just everything. Oh, you'll love it.
- Gregory Elliott: She and this fella are captured by headhunters and they're all going to be boiled in oil.
- Frances Elliott: Oh, darling, I should be boiled in oil.
- Gregory Elliott: You know, I feel like getting boiled myself.
- Nancy Barklay: [singing] Just one look at you, My heart grew tipsy in me, You and you alone, Bring out the gypsy in me...
- Nancy Barklay: [singing] I want my arms about, Don't be a
- [wink]
- Nancy Barklay: naughty baby, Come to Mama, Come to Mama, do...
- Nancy Barklay: Don't you believe people are destined for each other?
- Paul Berten: I haven't given it much thought. Look, Nancy, our souls may be very chummy; but, we hardly know one another.
- Nancy Barklay: Well, I was born in New York and I'm 19.
- Paul Berten: I thought you said you were 17.
- Nancy Barklay: Oh, I'm getting older as fast as I can.
- Marina Rodrigues: [singing] Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta, Your heart will beat like a bongo, Just like what's beating in mine...
