"Title card: This picture takes place in Paris in those wonderful days when a siren was a brunette and not an alarm --- and if a Frenchman turned out the light, it was not on account of an air raid!"

"Oh dear me...I must be losing my finesse. If I'm not careful, I'll be understood by everybody."

"[relaying what her lawyer says about retrieving her jewels] There may be a chance, that's all. The French government has recognized Soviet Russia and he doubts that they will risk a war for my poor sake. He might be able to make up some kind of a case but it would cost money, money, money. That's all they are interested in - those lawyers!"

"Oh Leon, don't ever ask me for a picture of myself. I couldn't bear the thought of being shut up in a drawer. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't stand it."

"[Giving money to her comrades to enjoy Paris] Here are fifty francs...Bring me back forty-five."

"[to Gaston, Leon's butler] Is this what you call the butler? ...Good evening, comrade. This man is very old. You shouldn't make him work...He looks sad. Do you whip him?...[She puts her hand on his shoulder] The day will come when you'll be free. Go to bed, little father. We want to be alone."

"[looking at a ladies' hat in a display window] How can such a civilization survive which permits their women to put things like that on their heads? It won't be long now comrades."

"The last mass trials have been a great success. There are going to be fewer but better Russians."

"Don't make an issue of my womanhood. We're here for work. All of us. Let's not waste any time. Shall we go?"

"Men who keep books are never very happy."

"Virginia Bruce - Audrey Lane"

"Luise Rainer - Anna Held"

"William Powell - Florenz Ziegfeld Jr."

"The Sensation of the Century!"

"The Last Word in Entertainment!"

"10 Big Shows in 1"

"No, no, no, I cannot sing today. I told you before I'm much too angry to sing, and I'm sick of watching you roll your eyes like I do."

"That night I say to Flo - I mean Mr. Ziegfeld - "Flo, why do you send me so much milk?" and he just laughs and says, "Anna, that's a great idea. You'll get it from now on everyday." Everyday, 20 gallons of milk? I say, "Flo, who can drink so much milk?" and do you know what he says? "Don't drink it - bathe in it! And you will be a big success.""

"How can I love someone who plays tricks on me, puts terrible things in the newspaper, has millions of reporters annoying me?!"

"[reading the note] Why is he a Jr., is he a little boy?"

"Cary Grant — Jerry Warriner"

"Barbara: [to Jerry, after Lucy answers his phone] Have you made up your mind who the woman is?"

"Judge: The custody of the dog will depend upon his own desire."

"Judge: If the divorce is not further contested, it will become final 90 days from this date. The plaintiff and the defendant will then be at liberty to make other marriages if such be their desire."

"Attorney: [on the phone] Now, now Lucy, don't do anything in haste that you might regret later. Marriage is a beautiful thing. [to his wife] Please be quiet, will you?…Please shut your mouth!…Will you shut your big mouth! I'll eat when I get good and ready and if you don't like it, you know what you can do, so shut up!"

"Armand Duvalle: [about Jerry] He's free of all mean suspicion. Yes, he has more the Continental mind."

"Sa-ayy wait a minute! Don't anybody leave this room! I've lost my purse. [the purse is found between the cushions] Oh, well, am I relieved."

"I was working my head off at the Virginia Club but the minute he started doing better, you know what I mean, why he made me give up my job and, uhm, take a trip to London and Paris and uh, I think that was pretty swell, don't you?…it was a little act, kind of uh, well, it's a little hard to explain."

"What in the world was Dad ever doing with a football?…Of course I remember. Pop loved Princeton. He was there nearly twenty years. If ever a man loved a place, he did - he just adored it. And he certainly kept it looking beautiful. You've seen the grounds, of course?"

"[to Mrs. Vance, about Jerry] We call him Jerry the Nipper. He likes to sneak 'em when nobody's looking. So cute about it too. I've seen him go along a whole evening and apparently not have a thing to drink and all of a sudden fall flat on his puss."

"[to Mrs. Leeson] Well, I guess a man's best friend is his mother. I certainly learned about women from you."

"[to Lucy] You make me the happiest man in the world! I'm so happy I could eat three steaks."

"Just to prove that you're not mad, will ya give me a little kiss?…If you knew how crazy I am about ya, you wouldn't hesitate. I can't sleep nights…I must be in love, 'cause I started writin' poetry to ya. To you my little prairie flower, I'm thinkin' of you every hour. Though now you're just a friend to me, I wonder what the end will be. Oh, you would make my life divine, If you would change your name to mine."

"[to Barbara] I've seen your pictures in the paper and I've wondered what you look like."

"[to Jerry, about Barbara] Tell her I'd love to meet her. Tell her to wear boxing gloves."

"[about Jerry] I'm convinced he must care about me or he wouldn't do the funny things he does."

"Jerry's always had the most fantastic way of getting into scrapes. Oh, we've had some grand laughs together. [about Daniel] I can't marry him because I'm still in love with that crazy lunatic and there's nothing I can do about it…I tried to forget Jerry."

"Put a light in the window if it's yes, two if it's no, and if you can't make up your minds, just pull down the shade."

"And then somehow, all of a sudden, the three of us were having lunch together. The man, and Mr. Smith [their dog], and I. And then things began to happen rather swiftly. And finally I said, well I think we'd better get married. And we did. And that way, we were able to give Mr. Smith a better home and live happily ever after. Until now."
