Mr. Esmond Sr.
- Esmond Sr.: Have you got the nerve to tell me you don't want to marry my son for his money?
- Lorelei Lee: It's true.
- Esmond Sr.: Then what do you want to marry him for?
- Lorelei Lee: I want to marry him for YOUR money.
- Mr. Esmond Sr.: Say, they told me you were stupid! You don't sound stupid to me!
- Lorelei Lee: I can be smart when it's important. But most men don't like it.
- Mr. Esmond Sr.: Young lady, you don't fool me one bit.
- Lorelei Lee: I'm not trying to. But I bet I could though.
- Lorelei Lee: Gus, he's always been interested in my brains.
- Mr. Esmond Sr.: No. No, that much of a fool he's not.
- Mr. Esmond Sr.: You don't understand? How do you think I feel with thousands of Lorelei Lees coming at me from everywhere?
- Mr. Esmond Sr.: I explicitly told you in my cable to stay with him until I arrived. Don't you know he can't be left alone in the same city with that blonde man-trap.
