  • Babette La Verne: Show me one thing. Just one thing in this room that you've come by honestly.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: [He looks and looks and, after some difficulty, takes a frame from the mantle which has a photograph of Babette] Well, um, Well, there must be something. What about this, eh?
  • [And then he explains]
  • Dandy Forsdyke: The picture, I mean. Not - not the frame.
  • Babette La Verne: [Tearfully] Even the camera you took it with was stolen.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: When we get married there's only going to be one breadwinner. Your's truly.
  • Babette La Verne: Oh, Dandy. You're so wonderful.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: I know I am.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: [knocks on the Babette's dressing room door at the Peekaboo Club] C'est moi. Monsieur le Capitaine.
  • Babette La Verne: I haven't got any clothes on!
  • Dandy Forsdyke: Oh, I don't mind.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: I won 150 quid, actually. Born lucky. That's me.
  • Babette La Verne: Luck. Luck. That's all my Dad used to talk about.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: Yes, but his was all bad. That's why he spent so much time in jail.
  • Babette La Verne: Now, be a good boy and turn your back while I get dressed.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: Sure. Sure. I never get tired of watching you do your act. Never! It's so artistic.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: It was asking to be taken. I couldn't resist the temptation. I never can. That's my trouble, you see, darling. I have tried. You know I have. It just doesn't seem to work with me, that's all.
  • Laurence Montague: I'm going to help you. If that is what you desire.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: Well, I didn't come here to blow bubbles, Sport.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: I'll do anything you say, Sport, if there's a chance at getting Babette back.
  • Laurence Montague: Good. Then, for a start, kindly desist from calling me Sport!
  • Laurence Montague: Your real name?
  • Dandy Forsdyke: Fred Cox.
  • Laurence Montague: That's better. Any military service?
  • Dandy Forsdyke: None, actually.
  • Laurence Montague: Education?
  • Dandy Forsdyke: None, actually. Unless you count reform school.
  • Laurence Montague: We count everything, Brother Cox.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: Well, please, call me Forsdyke, sir.
  • R.S. Widdowes: We're both familiar with the workings of the criminal mind - especially small time chiselers with phony ranks and fancy accents.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: I say, steady on.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: I'm sorry. I'm a swine. I'm a rotten swine.
  • Ronnie Bassett: I'm afraid you are.
  • Dandy Forsdyke: Hallelujah.
  • Woods: Halle-what?
  • Dandy Forsdyke: It's a bit small - even for a midget.
