Rosemary Pilkington
- Rosemary: Get back in the shower. Get back in there!
- Hedy LaRue: I have nothing to hide.
- Rosemary: Oh, yes, you have! And you keep it hidden.
- Rosemary: Lunch.
- J. Pierpont Finch: Huh?
- Rosemary: I said, "Lunch."
- J. Pierpont Finch: What about "lunch"?
- Rosemary: I'd love to!
- Bud Frump: Are you ambitious, Finch?
- J. Pierpont Finch: No, not necessarily.
- Bud Frump: Good. You just keep that in mind. If you just remember who I am and who you are, we'll get along fine. If not...
- Rosemary: You go crying to your uncle!
- Bud Frump: I beg your pardon, I do not go crying to my uncle! It just happens my mother is Mrs. Biggley's sister. If I feel something's wrong, I phone my mother. She phones Mrs. Biggley, and Mrs. Biggley phones Mr. Biggley. That's the DEMOCRATIC way.
- Rosemary: You take the average young person today. I mean, the trouble is they're looking for instant poetry, instant psychoanalysis, instant mashed potatoes - and instant old-fashioned love. I mean, they don't realize that it takes - takes time to establish a meaningful relationship.
- [There is music when Finch thinks of Rosemary]
- J. Pierpont Finch: Can't you hear it? It's all around me, it's like a beautiful pink sky.
- Rosemary: J. Pierpont Finch, what are you...
- J. Pierpont Finch: Rosemary, darling, will you please marry J. Pierpont Finch?
- Rosemary: NOW I hear it.
- [Song lyrics]
- Smitty: Now she's thinking:
- Rosemary: I wish that he were more of a flirt.
- Smitty: And he's thinking:
- J. Pierpont Finch: I guess a little flirting won't hurt.
- Smitty: Now she's thinking:
- Rosemary: For dinner we could meet.
- Smitty: And he's thinking:
- J. Pierpont Finch: We both've gotta eat.
- Smitty: And she says:
- Rosemary: [Sneezes]
- Smitty: And he says:
- J. Pierpont Finch: Gesundheit... well, it's been a long day.
- Rosemary: He has a sort of undaunted sort of noble courage. Yet, deep down, you sense he's a helpless little muffin.
- Rosemary: Good luck, Mr. Finch.
- J. Pierpont Finch: Thank you, Miss...
- Rosemary: Pilkington, Rosemary Pilkington.
- J. Pierpont Finch: Pilkington, Rosemary Pilkington.
- Rosemary: [singing] To see, The cool, clear eyes, Of a seeker of wisdom and truth, et with the slam-bang tang, Reminiscent of gin and vermouth, Oh, I believe in you...
- J. Pierpont Finch: I've been working so hard and trying to do my best at the company, I don't even have my own office yet.
- Rosemary: Ponty, you've only been working there two days.
- J. Pierpont Finch: Yes, but I feel I'm never gonna get any place.
- Rosemary: Ponty, some men spend years trying to accomplish what you've just done in two days.
- J. Pierpont Finch: Yes, but I'm 27 years old, and I'm only a junior executive. I'm not getting any younger.
- Rosemary: Don't let me keep you. Go on. Go back to making love to her. Kiss her! Take her home for the weekend. I don't care.
- J. Pierpont Finch: All right, now what'll I do?
- Hedy LaRue: Let's do what she said.
