- Tour Bus Guide: Your attention ladies and gentlemen, you are now in the heart of New York's famous art colony: Greenwich Village. Known the world over as the Latin Quarter of America. It was once the home of such famous artists as George Gershwin, Noel Coward, Isadora Duncan, Eugene O'Neill, Thomas Benton, and many others whose names will go down in history. It is the melting pot of genius, folks. A world of long haired men and short haired women. An atmospheric world where people are free. Free living! Free thinking.

- Danny O'Mara: It was okay, but, I don't know, Shug, you weren't at your best tonight.

- Danny O'Mara: You're gettin' better Princess. This is one time a guy pulled a cork and you were here before the pop.

- Kenneth Harvey: Still kidding me about the classics, huh? Look, I like popular music too. I always sing when I'm in the shower.

- Princess Querida O'Toole: Sure he did! We are in rehearsals.
- Danny O'Mara: I got too much dough sunk in this to let anything stop me now. I've even got a *colored* act tryin' out tomorrow morning and they're rehearsing with his music.
- Hofer: Arghhh. If I have been instrumental in saving his immortal music from such desecration, then, already I have been repaid.

- Princess Querida O'Toole: [singing] I don't want a Romeo, I don't want a romance, No, I only want to dance, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dance, Any band that is handy, Can make me feel dandy, I don't need a brandy for kicks, a-ha, Give me a rhythm that is Latin, And I'll show Manhattan, My South American tricks, Samba!
- Princess Querida O'Toole: [singing] I want to pick 'em up and lay 'im down, I don't care for a hoochie-coochie, And I don't like the shimmy, Trick my feet to a tropic beat, And gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme...
