Frankie
- Frankie: [after Frankie and Johnny get through performing the Petunia number on stage] What were those signals?
- Johnny: What signals?
- Frankie: Between you and Cully, I'm not blind.
- Johnny: Oh, those signals. Nothing, he just made a little bet for me.
- Frankie: Now you've got helpers. Can't you lose fast enough alone?
- Johnny: [Frankie starts walking away mad] Hey, where are you going?
- Frankie: To have my head examined. There must be a hole in it!
- Johnny: You can't help it if you're in love.
- Frankie: [Cully shows up and Frankie bumps into him as she continues to walk away mad]
- [shouts]
- Frankie: Oh, you born losers, both of you!
- Cully: What's the matter with her?
- Johnny: She's crazy about the wrong guy. Me. I am a loser. But if I had 20 bucks, I could be a winner.
- Cully: I hate myself for asking, but how?
- Johnny: This gypsy fortune-teller that's parked across the river. I hear that everybody who takes her advice is hitting it rich.
- Cully: So how come she lives in a wagon?
- Johnny: The wagon is loaded with gold. You got 20 bucks?
- Cully: Lucky for you, it just so happens...
- Peg: You are the lowest person that ever lived!
- Cully: Peg, my sweetheart. You've missed me.
- Peg: You're not what I've missed.
- Cully: No?
- Peg: No! I missed the $50 I hid in my winter lingerie.
- Cully: You know I never could keep out of your...
- [Peg pokes Cully with a pair of scissors]
- Cully: Oh! Oh! You didn't have to stab me.
- Peg: Oh, I should've listened to my sainted mother. She said you were just like my father.
- Cully: I could never drink that much.
- Peg: Don't you dare say one word about my drunken old man. Where's the money?
- Peg: Have you seen Cully? He's been missing for an hour.
- Frankie: Have you tried the lost-and-found department?
- Peg: No. I'm afraid they'll find him.
- Frankie: I always know where to find Johnny. In the casino losing his shirt.
- Peg: Well, with the way the other girls look at him, you're lucky he isn't playing around.
- Frankie: You know what I'd do if he ever did me wrong?
- [pretends to point a gun to her head]
- Peg: Shoot yourself?
- Frankie: No, him.
- Peg: Oh.
- Frankie: [as Johnny walks in the room, Frankie pretends to shoot him]
- [shouts]
- Frankie: Bang! Bang! Bang!
- Johnny: Oh!
- [Johnny pretends to fall to his death]
- Johnny: One last request before I... cross the great footlights up yonder.
- Frankie: Like what?
- Johnny: Like, would you loan me 25 bucks so I could pay Cully what I owe him?
- Frankie: Cully loaned you 25? Where did he get it?
- Peg: Between my nightgown and my petticoat.
- Frankie: Do you know how much you owe me already?
- Johnny: Who's counting?
- Frankie: Are you sure you don't want this money to gamble?
- Johnny: Word of honor and cross my heart and may you never kiss me again.
- Frankie: He sounds sincere. What would you do, Peg?
- Peg: What any woman with an ounce of pride or self-respect would do. Give him the money.
- Johnny: [as Frankie gets the money out for Johnny] Greatest little bank in America. Two greatest little banks in America.
- Peg: What a shame you don't have an account there.
- Nellie Bly: Johnny thinks I'm his Lady Luck. He just wants me to go to the casino with him.
- Frankie: What else does he have in mind?
- Nellie Bly: Well, that depends on how much he wins - or how much I want to lose.
