Quotes25

  • Junior: Syncopators. Does that mean you play that very fast music... jazz?
  • Sugar: Yeah. Real Hot.
  • Junior: I guess some like it hot. I personally prefer classical music.
  • Sugar: [on marrying well] I don't care how rich he is, as long as he has a yacht, his own private railroad car, and his own toothpaste.
  • Sugar: If my mother could only see me now.
  • Joe: I hope *my* mother never finds out.
  • Sugar: Real diamonds! They must be worth their weight in gold!
  • Sugar: Water polo? Isn't that terribly dangerous?
  • Junior: I'll say. I had two ponies drowned under me.
  • Sugar: [pouring bourbon into paper cup] Turn the lights on.
  • Daphne: No lights, we don't want anyone to know we're having a party.
  • Sugar: But I might spill some.
  • Daphne: So spill it! Spills, thrills, laughs, and games. This may even turn out to be a surprise party.
  • Sugar: What's the surprise?
  • Daphne: Not yet.
  • Sugar: When?
  • Daphne: Better have a drink first.
  • Sugar: There. That'll put hair on your chest.
  • Daphne: No fair guessing.
  • Sugar: [admiring a large fish trophy] What is it?
  • Junior: It's a member of the herring family.
  • Sugar: A herring? Isn't it amazing how they get those big fish into those little glass jars?
  • Junior: They shrink when they're marinated.
  • Sugar: Story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
  • Sugar: [singing] I wanna be loved by you, just you, nobody else but you. I wanna be loved by you alo-o-one. Boop boop e doo.
  • Sugar: I come from this musical family. My mother is a piano teacher and my father was a conductor.
  • Joe: Where did he conduct?
  • Sugar: On the Baltimore and Ohio.
  • Sugar: Been waiting long?
  • Junior: [gallantly] It's not how long you wait, it's who you're waiting for!
  • Junior: Look, if all you're interested in is whether I am married or not...
  • Sugar: Oh, I'm not interested at all.
  • Junior: Well, I'm not.
  • Sugar: That's very interesting!
  • Junior: [Kissing] I think you're on the right track.
  • Sugar: I must be. Your glasses are beginning to steam up.
  • Sugar: Oh, Daphne, how can I ever repay you?
  • Jerry: Oh, I can think of a million things.
  • [Sugar gets into bed with him]
  • Jerry: And that's one of them!
  • Joe: [apologizing because the motor boat will only move backwards] I'm afraid it may take a little longer.
  • Sugar: It's not how long it takes, it's who's taking you.
  • Sugar: [after running back to the room to tell Josephine about the millionaire, Joe's other alter ego, and finding she's not there] Well I'll be back later.
  • Jerry: Oh no you wait. I have a feeling she'll show up any minute.
  • Sugar: Believe it or not, Josephine predicted the whole thing.
  • Jerry: Yeah, this is one for Ripley.
  • Sugar: Do you suppose she went shopping?
  • Jerry: Shopping! That's it! Something tells me she's gonna come through that door in a brand new outfit!
  • Sugar: Oh Josephine! The most wonderful thing happened!
  • Joe: What?
  • Sugar: Guess.
  • Joe: They repealed prohibition?
  • Jerry: Oh come now, you can do better than that.
  • Sugar: I met one of them.
  • Joe: One of whom?
  • Sugar: Shell Oil Junior. He's got millions, he's got glasses, he's got a yacht!
  • Joe: You don't say.
  • Jerry: He's not only got a yacht, he's got a bicycle!
  • [Jerry sees Joe impersonating a wealthy yachtsman to flirt with Sugar]
  • Sugar: [to Joe] This is my friend Daphne, she's a Vassar girl.
  • Daphne: I'm a what?
  • Sugar: Or was it Bryn Mawr?
  • Junior: [firmly to Jerry] I heard a very sad story about a girl that went to Bryn Mawr. She squealed on her roommate... and they found her strangled with her own brassiere!
  • Daphne: Yes, we've got to be very careful who we choose for a roommate.
  • Joe: I never knew it could be like this!
  • Sugar: Thank you.
  • Joe: They told me I was kaput, finished, all washed up. And here you are making a chump out of all those experts.
  • Sugar: Mineral baths, now really!
  • Joe: Where did you learn to kiss like that?
  • Sugar: I used to sell kisses for the milk fund.
  • Sugar: He collects shells!
  • Joe: Shells? Whatever for?
  • Jerry: Oh, you know. The old shell game.
  • Joe: Daphne, you're bothering us.
