Ricardo
- Ricardo: Chico, I know all about the hotel business. I've studied! Look, I brought my cookbooks and plans to make this the finest hotel in all California. I - hot water in every room. Clean sheets on every bed. And window boxes. Window boxes in every window with pretty flowers.
- Ricardo: Chico, why did they call my father the Kissing Bandit?
- Chico: Oh, every bandit chief got a trademark. After every robbery, your father used to kiss the women - like you're gonna do. That was his trademark.
- Ricardo: You mean he kissed women he didn't even know?
- Chico: Sure.
- Ricardo: Women he wasn't introduced to?
- Chico: Oh, but you're gonna like it.
- Ricardo: Oh, no, I won't. Why, in Boston you don't even kiss women you do know! Not until you're engaged to them. Oh, no!
- Ricardo: My father, he did own the inn didn't he? He was an innkeeper wasn't he?
- Chico: Didn't you ever hear about him doing something else?
- Ricardo: Well, yes, I heard he had a little sideline. You mean, the little sideline is being a bandit?
- Chico: No, the sideline was being an innkeeper. The *main* thing was being a bandit.
- Ricardo: Oh, my. Oh, me. Son of a Bandit. That's terrible.
- Chico: But, you're not the son of just a bandit. You're the son of the Kissing Bandit!
- Ricardo: [singing] If I steal a kiss, dear, I'll surely return it someday, If I steal your dreams, dear, I'll bring them back some way...
- Teresa: [singing] What's wrong with me? Why wouldn't he kiss me? I thought he might, How can I right, What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
- Ricardo: What's wrong with me? Why didn't I kiss her? I had the chance, For a romance, What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Why didn't I kiss her? I didn't try, Why didn't I? What's wrong with me?
- Chico: Chico, she doesn't like me.
- Ricardo: She doesn't like you? Who said she didn't like you?
- Chico: She did.
- Ricardo: She did? What does she know about it? Women always say no, as I remember.
- Ricardo: Well, maybe sometimes they mean it.
- Chico: Nah, Ricardo, listen. They always *want* to say yes. But when they are little girls their mothers tell them: "Don't make it easy. Make it tough." So, you gotta make eyes a little, flirt a little, waste a little time. Then they say yes *always*. This I do remember!
- Ricardo: It's funny. Because I'm a bandit chief, I was able to win my heroine. And because I'm a bandit chief, I have to give her up.
- Ricardo: [singing] Señorita, I can't bring a golden crown, Set with pearls and rubies rare, But I can bring a rose, And place it in your hair...
