- Opal: [singing] I haven't a thing to wear, There's a great big wolf outside my door, He made his fortune in tin, So you better make your mind up, Or I'll have to let the darned wolf in...
- Eddie: What's buzzin', cousin?
- Nifty Sullivan: It's a girl named Nina.
- Happy McScud: Another pigeon. Why don't you go on a diet?
- Nifty Sullivan: I was seating with Nina, seat 13; suddenly, I fell out of my trousers.
- Nifty Sullivan: [singing] When trouble seems, Too much of a load, I tell trouble, Hit the road, I'm in good shape, For the shape I'm in, A happy crackpot...
- Noodle McArdle: Now, honey...
- Opal: Don't you honey me.
- [slaps Noodle]
- Noodle McArdle: Now, honey, don't get physical.
- [Opal slaps Noodle across both cheeks, punches him in the stomach, stomps on his foot]
- Opal: Someday you're gonna make me forget I'm a lady.
- Nat: That's Nifty Sullivan for ya. Hoofing his way through life, swiping music. Why without those tunes he steals at the symphony concerts every week, we'd starve.
- Eddie: Yeah, you gotta hand it to a guy who can whip "The Barber of Seville" into "Once Over Lightly With You, Baby." Boy, that's genius!
- Cicero - Wash Room Attendant: I ain't heard nothin', I ain't seen nothin', and I hear somebody callin' my name.
- Opal: You big baboon, what are you doin' here?
- Noodle McArdle: I just set Nifty up with the cutest little tomato you ever saw.
- Karanina 'Nina' Novak: I'll go now.
- Nifty Sullivan: Please don't go yet.
- Happy McScud: Oh no, please don't go. It's only four o'clock in the morning.
- Nifty Sullivan: Meet the boys! This is Nat, a college band left him on our doorstep. And that vinegar puss is Happy McScud, our Scotch Nightingale. And Eddie here can do more tricks with a licorice stick than a monkey with a coconut.
- Karanina 'Nina' Novak: One night King Stephan heard me sing and he - he went - oh, how you say - uh - nuts?
- Happy McScud: That's right, nuts.
- Eddie: Gee, that's somethin'.
- Noodle McArdle: It ain't me. It's my fiancée, Opal. She wants to go up and up - like an elevator. Why this King stuff would murder her.
- Noodle McArdle: Forget about the chiseler who's been cooing around Opal? Not me. I send her a case of wine, he drinks it.
- Mr. Hoople: Drinks it?
- Noodle McArdle: I loan her my car, he drives it.
- Mr. Hoople: Drives it?
- Noodle McArdle: I send her perfume, 20 dollars an ounce, he uses it for shaving lotion. When I think of that, I go a little crazy.
- Mr. Hoople: Looking for someone, Mr. McArdle?
- Noodle McArdle: Yeah.
- Mr. Hoople: Pleasure or - business?
- Noodle McArdle: Well, a little of both. It'll be a pleasure to give him the business.
- Happy McScud: [singing] Somethings happened to the Conga, Harlem's gone and changed it
- Nifty Sullivan: Here's the way to do the Conga, Since they rearranged it
- Eddie: Be like all those hip chicks
- Nat: Get your one, two, three kicks
- Happy McScud, Nifty Sullivan, Eddie, Nat: Boogie Woogie Conga, Come on all you hep cats, Get the latest step that's, Breakin' up the nation, Boogie Woogie Conga, First the Latin's had it, Harlem's gone and nabbed it, Boogie syncopation...
- Karanina 'Nina' Novak: [singing] Don't close the door to romance, Leave it ajar, Love will shine through, dear, Wherever you are...
- Eddie: That ain't the old Nifty I used to know - with a carnation in his buttonhole and a chisel up his sleeve.
- Nifty Sullivan: It's bad taste to send a dame jewelry.
- Karanina 'Nina' Novak: Not if it's good jewelry!
- Nifty Sullivan: You had me hanging on the ropes, honest. I was just about to tear this up until you're Mr. Killer Diller stuck his puss in!
- Karanina 'Nina' Novak: [singing] How will our parting affect me? Is that what you'd like to know? The thought of your leaving has wrecked me, But if you want to go - go, You go your way, And I'll go crazy...
- Karanina 'Nina' Novak: Don't let it toss you. There's other fish in the sea.
- Noodle McArdle: Not like Opal! She's the one who made a gentleman out of me. She's a vulture for culture, Opal is.
- Mr. Hoople: I've gone through enough trouble here for a coronation.
- Noodle McArdle: It might turn out to be a cremation.
- Noodle McArdle: If anything happens here tonight, it will drive me a little daffy - in my dream box.
