  Jerry : Oh no you don't! Osgood, I'm gonna level with you. We can't get married at all.

  Osgood : Why not?

  Jerry : Well, in the first place, I'm not a natural blonde.

  Osgood : Doesn't matter.

  Jerry : I smoke! I smoke all the time!

  Osgood : I don't care.

  Jerry : Well, I have a terrible past. For three years now, I've been living with a saxophone player.

  Osgood : I forgive you.

  Jerry : [tragically]  I can never have children!

  Osgood : We can adopt some.

  Jerry : But you don't understand, Osgood! Ohh...

  [Jerry finally gives up and pulls off his wig] 

  Jerry : [normal voice]  I'm a man!

  Osgood : [shrugs]  Well, nobody's perfect!

  [Jerry looks on with disbelief as Osgood continues smiling with indifference. Fade out] 

• Osgood : I am Osgood Fielding the third.

  Daphne : Well, pull in your reel, Mr. Fielding, you're barking up the wrong fish!

• Osgood : You know, I've always been *fascinated* by show business.

  Daphne : Is that so?

  Osgood : Yes. As a matter of fact it's cost my family quite a bit of money.

  Daphne : Oh, you invest in shows?

  Osgood : Showgirls. I've been married seven or eight times.

  Daphne : You're not sure?

  Osgood : Mama is keeping score.

• Osgood : Which of these instruments do you play?

  Jerry : Bull fiddle!

  Osgood : Fascinating! Do you use a bow or do you just pluck it?

  Jerry : Most of the time, I *slap* it!

• Osgood : [to the elevator operator]  All right, driver, once around the park, slowly, and keep your eyes on the road.

• Osgood : Daphne.

  Jerry : Hmm?

  Osgood : You're leading again.

  Jerry : Sorry.
