Quotes12

  • Gabrielle Gerard: Oh, that's a very early Degas, isn't it?
  • [examines painting]
  • Gabrielle Gerard: 1877.
  • Tony Hunter: [playing up their age difference] Yeah, I swiped it from his desk in school. Was he sore.
  • Tony Hunter: Oh, I'm afraid I've been awfully rude, I haven't told you how wonderful you were tonight.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Oh, thank you, I'm a great admirer of yours too.
  • Tony Hunter: Oh, I didn't think you'd ever even heard of me.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Heard of you? I used to see all your pictures when I was a little girl. And I'm still a fan, I recently went to see a revival of them at the museum.
  • Tony Hunter: [offended] Museum? 'Step right this way, ladies and gentlemen, Egyptian mummies, extinct reptiles, and Tony Hunter, the grand old man of the dance!"
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Oh I-I didn't mean...
  • Tony Hunter: Young lady, I want you to know I can still thread a needle without my eyeglasses and still occasionally do a soft-shoe shuffle! Nothing balletic, of course.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: You're not a ballet devotee, are you?
  • Tony Hunter: Oh, yes! I was going to the ballet before you were born. I saw Pavlova, Carsanova, all the real ballet greats. You don't see dancing like that nowadays. Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Oh, that's all right! I don't expect you to class me with Pavlova. In fact, if she were around, I doubt if she'd be good enough to dance with you. You'd probably insist on an audition first!
  • Tony Hunter: I sure would, I'd audition my own grandmother.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Then why don't you audition mine? She'd be just about right for you! Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
  • Tony Hunter: Oh, no you're not.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: No I'm not!
  • Tony Hunter: Neither am I!
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Good!
  • Gabrielle Gerard: The show's a big hit, Tony... It's going to run for a long time.As far as I'm concerned, it's going to run forever.
  • Tony Hunter: Now look, now look, I thought I was the only nervous wreck around here. All this time, you've been behaving...
  • Gabrielle Gerard: [Sobbing] I've behaved terribly to you and I know it. I'm not used to behaving horribly. Its a big strain!
  • Gabrielle Gerard: [Sobbing] Don't be nice to me! It just makes me seem twice as ugly.
  • Tony Hunter: Do you know what those are on those benches? People. Happy people. Would you believe it, they don't even care if we have a damnation scene in our show or not.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Neither do I.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Are we really supposed to open tomorrow night?
  • Gabrielle Gerard: What does he want with me? He's a famous movie and stage actor. He's practically an historical character by now! Dancing with him is like - dancing with a statue of General Grant.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Tony, can you and I really dance together?
  • Tony Hunter: I don't know. Let's find out.
  • Tony Hunter: El Morocco, please.
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Oh, no!
  • Tony Hunter: Well, the Stork? The Waldorf?
  • Gabrielle Gerard: No, look, I'm not dressed. I just came from rehearsal. I can't go to any of those places.
  • Tony Hunter: You look fine to me.
  • Tony Hunter: Oh, sweetie, I just want to say that no matter what happens tonight, its been...
  • Gabrielle Gerard: I know, Tony, its been that for me too.
  • Tony Hunter: Will you have a cigarette?
  • Gabrielle Gerard: No, thanks. I don't smoke.
  • Tony Hunter: Never?
  • Gabrielle Gerard: Well, I don't think that dancers should smoke.
  • Tony Hunter: Oh, I see.
