- Lady Lou: I always did like a man in a uniform. That one fits you grand. Why don't you come up some time and see me?
- Captain Cummings: Haven't you ever met a man that could make you happy?
- Lady Lou: Sure, lots of times.
- Captain Cummings: Well, surely you don't mind my holding your hand?
- Lady Lou: It ain't heavy - I can hold it myself.
- Frances: You know, ever since I sang that song it's been haunting me.
- Rag Time Kelly: It SHOULD haunt you: You murdered it.
- Lady Lou: Wait till you see this. For the bedroom. A little bit spicy, but not too raw, you know what I mean?
- Serge Stanieff: I am delighted. I have heard so much about you.
- Lady Lou: Yeah, but you can't prove it.
- Serge Stanieff: I swear I shall make you happy. I shall die to make you happy.
- Lady Lou: Mmm, but you wouldn't be much use to me dead.
- Lady Lou: Come up again - any time.
- Serge Stanieff: I shall, then I hope you will be alone.
- Lady Lou: So do I, warm, dark and handsome.
- Captain Cummings: I'm sorry you think more of your diamonds than you do of your soul.
- Lady Lou: I'm sorry you think more of my soul than you do of my diamonds.
- Serge Stanieff: The men in my country go wild about women with yellow hair.
- Lady Lou: I'm glad you told me. I wanna keep straight on my geography.
- Lady Lou: You know, it was a toss up whether I go in for diamonds or sing in the choir. The choir lost.
- Old Woman: Ah, Lady Lou, you're a fine gal, a fine woman.
- Lady Lou: One of the finest women ever walked the streets.
- Captain Cummings: I'm anxious not to see you mixed up in it. But I guess I'm taking your time.
- Lady Lou: What do you suppose my time's for?
- [Captain Cummings approaches Lou with a pair of handcuffs]
- Lady Lou: Those absolutely necessary? You know I wasn't born with them.
- Captain Cummings: No. A lot of men would've been safer if you had.
- Lady Lou: Oh, I don't know - hands ain't everything.
- Russian Rita: So, the minute my back is turned, I find you making love to another woman.
- Lady Lou: Whad'ya expect he'd be doin'? A boy with a gift like that should be workin' at it.
- Captain Cummings: Well I... I gotta be getting back to the mission. Sally's father is waiting for me.
- Lady Lou: Hmm, that oughta be interesting.
- Dan Flynn: What would you do if somebody tried to take her from you?
- Gus Jordan: Probably nut'n' - to HER.
- [Lady Lou shares the latest photographs of herself]
- Serge Stanieff: They are wonderful but, uh, I like best that marvelous painting of you in the bar.
- Lady Lou: Oh, yeah, I gotta admit that is a flash, but I do wish Gus hadn't hung it up over the free lunch.
- Gus Jordan: So you met a man who wouldn't fall for you, eh?
- Lady Lou: Who wants him to fall? Why he'd be the kind the woman'd have to marry to get rid of.
- Lady Lou: Why don't you come up sometime, huh?
- Captain Cummings: Well, I...
- Lady Lou: Don't be afraid. I won't tell.
- Captain Cummings: But, eh...
- Lady Lou: Come up. I'll tell your fortune.
- Captain Cummings: I'd like to have a word with you when it's convenient.
- Lady Lou: I've been saving a little time for you. Come up in a few minutes.
- Russian Rita: What about this poor creature, Lou?
- Lady Lou: Oh, some guy done her wrong. The story's so old it should have been set to music long ago.
- Lady Lou: I'm home every evening.
- Captain Cummings: Yeah, but I'm busy every evening.
- Lady Lou: Busy? Say, what are you trying to do, insult me?
- Opening Title Card: THE GAY NINETIES - When they did such things ad they said such things on the Bowery. A lusty, brawling florid decade when there were handlebars on lip and wheel - and legs were confidential!
- Russian Rita: My pin! What do you mean by taking my pin?
- Lady Lou: I didn't take your pin, he gave it to me.
- Russian Rita: Well, I want it back right now!
- Lady Lou: You try and get it. I wouldn't give you this here thing now for spite. If you asked me for it the right way you coulda had it. I got all the rocks I want, but I'll keep this here thing now to remember you by.
