Miss Frances
- Maria Williams: He says we could fly there and be back by tonight.
- Miss Frances: Yeah, that's what he always says - and then he'll have trouble with his propeller and you'll have trouble with your reputation.
- Maria Williams: So, this is Rome. Where the pigeons eat caviar.
- Miss Frances: And the secretaries eat alone.
- John Frederick Shadwell: Unless I miss my guess, sending that girl into get me was a feminine intrigue of yours. Am I right?
- Miss Frances: What ever makes you think that?
- John Frederick Shadwell: Don't be evasive.
- Miss Frances: Perhaps we better warn our friend about Dino, before she meets him.
- Anita Hutchins: He's known as the Predatory Prince.
- Miss Frances: And girls who are seen in his company more than once, are known as Venice Girls.
- Maria Williams: Why?
- Miss Frances: Well, the time always comes when he asks you to fly to Venice with him.
- Anita Hutchins: And once you're known as a Venice Girl, you might as well go home.
- Miss Frances: [sarcastic toast] To the fountain of Trevi! To the lovely, romantic fountain of Trevi. Where hope can be had for a penny!
- John Frederick Shadwell: People are looking at you.
- Miss Frances: Well, high time!
- Maria Williams: At the prospect of going to Venice, I could be ready in five minutes.
- Prince Dino di Cessi: Oh, I can promise you it will be a trip that you shall long remember. So, let us not waste any time.
- Maria Williams: Oh, you don't mind giving Miss Frances a lift, do you?
- Prince Dino di Cessi: Oh, not at all. Where shall I drop you, Miss Francis?
- Miss Frances: Venice.
- Miss Frances: You could discuss art with him.
- Maria Williams: Oh, that would be a change. Does he collect nudes?
- Miss Frances: No. As a matter of fact he's mad about modern paintings.
- Maria Williams: Oh, that's a side I'd never suspect.
- Miss Frances: Why don't you show him you have a side he'd never suspect. Show him you have a mind.
- Maria Williams: Oh, I love you; but, I couldn't fool a fool.
- John Frederick Shadwell: Have you ever considered the possibility of marrying me?
- Miss Frances: Every woman considers that prospect with every man she meets.
- Miss Frances: What are you intending to do with those?
- John Frederick Shadwell: I intend to get drunk.
- Miss Frances: Why?
- John Frederick Shadwell: I've been cautious too long.
- Maria Williams: What's that?
- Miss Frances: That's the fountain of Trevi.
- Anita Hutchins: Do you want to see it? If you throw a coin in the pool you're supposed to get your wish! Only the wish must always be the same thing: that you return again to Rome.
- Miss Frances: I tossed a coin into the fountain, every April, for the last 15 years. It's my Spring ritual. It's time to throw one in again.
- Anita Hutchins: Don't you want to wish?
- Maria Williams: Oh, yes. Keep me in Rome at least a year, Mr. Fountain.
- Anita Hutchins: No! No, no. You have to turn around, throw it over your shoulder.
