Alice Clayton
- Alice Clayton: Now look here, young lady, you stop thinking about these movie picture actors and you go right to sleep. And, mind you, no dreaming about them either.
- Betty Clayton: [Alice leaves the room, Betty gets out of bed, starts to write a fan letter, and begins singing] Dear Mr. Gable, I am writing this to you, And I hope that you will read it so you know, My heart beats like a hammer, And I stutter and I stammer, Every time I see you at the picture show, I guess I'm just another fan of yours, And I thought I'd write and tell you so, You made me love you, I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it...
- Alice Clayton: She too is a child of the theater: born in a dressing room, raised in a wardrobe trunk.
- Alice Clayton: It is my hope that she will carry on for the Claytons.
- Betty Clayton: Ah, the Claytons are a bunch of hams.
- Alice Clayton: Betty!
- Betty Clayton: I'm sorry, Ma. It slipped out.
- Jerry Jason: Don't be silly little girl. You go right ahead. *Sing* to your hearts content.
- Alice Clayton: All right, Betty, go ahead and sing and sing loud.
- Betty Clayton: [singing] When the whole world seems wrong, Just learn the words of a simple song, Of blue skies above, Be a troubadour and all is love...
- Alice Clayton: [singing] Sing a song of cheer again, The skies above will be clear again, Those happy days are here again, Sing a song of cheer again...
- Alice Clayton: [singing] Some of these days, You'll miss your honey, Some of these days, You'll be so lonely, You'll miss my huggin', You're gonna miss my kissin', You're gonna miss me, honey, When I'm far away...
- Alice Clayton: [singing] When you leave me, I know it's gonna grieve me, You're gonna miss your red hot Mama, Your Mama...
- Alice Clayton: You know, Steve, I'm smart enough to know that the high spots of a career can never be recaptured. I have my memories. They're grand bubbles. I'd hate to burst them.
- Alice Clayton: [singing] If you want to see a sight, Shhh, Greenwich Village on the right
- Male Chorus: Broadway Rhythm!
- Alice Clayton: Union Square is right ahead, Close your eyes, fellas, you might see red
- Male Chorus: Broadway!
- Alice Clayton: [singing] Don't look now, hey, keep your seat, Here comes 42nd Street
- Male Chorus: Broadway!
- Alice Clayton: Dizzy, dizzy, Times Square, Hear that noise, see that glare, A million lights that flicker there, A million hearts beat quicker there, No skies are gray, it's the Great White Way, It's Broadway
- Male Chorus: Broadway!
- Alice Clayton: Broadway!
- Male Chorus: Broadway!
- Alice Clayton, Male Chorus: Your Broadway and mine!
- Betty Clayton: [singing] If you worry, If you fret, If you're getting deep in debt, Let your frown turn summer-set, Get yourself a good quartet
- Alice Clayton, Betty Clayton, Jerry Jason, Bass in 'Everybody Sing' Number: In the evening by the moonlight, You can hear those darkies singing...
