• Malcolm Garnett : Wrong! Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong! This is nostalgia! Not parody, it's not burlesque, not camp! It's whimsy! You people obviously do not understand what we're portraying here. These are the Frollicking Forties. Simple years, clean years! World War Two. A war with a heart! A war that everybody could understand! This is a war you came out of the theater whistling from. What is this, an amateur show? What am I running here? How did you ever get into show business, you kids, what are you, dummies or something? You know the idea of this number or don't you know the idea? America was clean and unpolluted! We were wonderful! Everybody liked us then! And that's what the public wants to see again. Not drugs and long hair and beads, they want short hair. Zoot suits with reet pleats. Clean, young people styling. What I am trying to say is, to make this look sincere and make it look simple!

• Malcolm Garnett : In fact, Thomas was irresponsible.

  Peter J. Clifford : He's already signed a statement against you.

  Malcolm Garnett : Irresponsible and disloyal.

• Malcolm Garnett : Fraud? You may call it fraud, Captain, but...

  Peter J. Clifford : A jury probably will.

  Malcolm Garnett : But us? We that have to dig and grovel for every dollar so that curtain will rise opening night!

• Peter J. Clifford : Joe? Book him... .

  Malcolm Garnett : All you flat foot dummies. You think you'll be keeping Malcolm Garnett on some bread and water chain gang? -- is that what you think? Well, I say to you that from across the world, from every theater goer, regardless of race, creed, and color, there will arise a hue and a cry...

  Det. Joe Broadhurst : Save it.

  Malcolm Garnett : Just wait till my theater parties hear about this.
