- Lines on screen: They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be.
- Selma: You like the movies, don't you?
- Bill Houston: I love the movies. I just love the musicals.
- Selma: But isn't it annoying when they do the last song in the films?
- Bill Houston: Why?
- Selma: Because you just know when it goes really big... and the camera goes like out of the roof... and you just know it's going to end. I hate that. I would leave just after the next to last song... and the film would just go on forever.
- Selma: [singing] This isn't the last song, there's no violin, the choir is quiet, and no one takes a spin, this is the next to last song, and that's all...
- Jeff: I don't understand. In musicals, why do they start to sing and dance all of a sudden? I mean, I don't suddenly start... to sing and dance.
- Selma: Clatter, crash, clack, racket, bang, thump, rattle, clang, crack, thud, whack, bam! It's music, now dance!
- District Attorney: If this relationship was made up by the defendant, then, can you think of any way she might have come to know your name?
- Oldrich Novy: I was once well known in Czechoslovakia, because of my profession.
- District Attorney: Yes, Mr. Oldrich Novy, what is your profession? Maybe that can give us a clue to why, why this somewhat romantic, certainly Communistic, woman who worships Fred Astaire, but not his country, why she might have lied and misused your name - make everybody think that all the money was spent on a poor father and not on her own vanity. What is it that you do?
- Oldrich Novy: I was an actor. I made films - they were musicals.
- Bill Houston: Thank you for telling me your secret.
- Selma: Thanks for telling me yours.
- Bill Houston: Mums the word, right?
- Selma: Mum?
- Bill Houston: We don't tell anybody.
- Selma: Oh, yes, I won't tell anyone.
- Selma: [singing] Forgive me. I am so sorry. I just did what I had to do, I just did what I had to do, I just did what I had to do, I just did what I had to do.
- Norman: She said Communism was - better for human beings.
- District Attorney: She had nothing but contempt for our great country and it's principals.
- Norman: Apart from it's musicals! She said the American one - the American ones were better.
- District Attorney: So, the defendant preferred Hollywood to Vladivostok.
- Oldrich Novy: [singing] I didn't mind it at all. That you were having a ball - at my musicals. And I was always there to catch you.
- Selma: You were always there to catch me. You were always there to catch me. You were always there to catch me. When I fall.
- Brenda: You'll be transferred to the other cellblock, at some point tomorrow.
- Selma: That's the cellblock where they hang people?
- Brenda: Yeah. That's were they spend the last day.
- Selma: And then they do the 107 steps - it's from that room to the gallows, isn't it?
- Brenda: That's what they say, Selma. But, look it, you're gonna get your stay. Why don't you try to think of something nice. All right?
- Selma: It's just so quiet here.
- Selma: You keep readin'.
- Gene Jezkova: So long, farewell auf wiedersehen, adieu, adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.
- Selma: To yieu and yieu. What - what does that mean? Yieu?
- Gene Jezkova: It's your dumb musical.
- Selma: Yieu?
- Gene Jezkova: It's German.
- Selma: Do you think?
