- King Shaw: The more you know about women, the less you know about women.
- Johnny Brett: Maybe it's time you find out they're not all alike.
- Amy Blake, Casey's Secretary: Why, you wear out 50 blondes to one cape.
- Bob Casey: You think it needs a new lining?
- Amy Blake, Casey's Secretary: You both do.
- Johnny Brett: [singing] So, move Grant's Tomb to Union Square
- King Shaw: And put Brooklyn anywhere
- Johnny Brett, King Shaw: But please, please, I beg on my knees, Don't monkey with old Broadway...
- Johnny Brett, King Shaw: [singing] Please don't monkey with Broadway, Though it's tawdry and plain, It's a lovely old lane, Full of landmarks galore and memories gay...
- Johnny Brett: Come on. Come on! Get out there. We'll give these people a show.
- King Shaw: Okay, boy.
- Johnny Brett: And remember, you never know who may be out there. So give!
- King Shaw: And we came to New York to get on Broadway.
- Johnny Brett: At least after five years of hoofing we're in the right town.
- King Shaw: Yeah, but who knows it except us? Just a couple of taxi dancers, pushing around a lot of female lonely-hearts at five cents a dance. And doing a specialty act - without pay.
- [sarcastically]
- King Shaw: What a career.
- Clare Bennett: [doorbell rings] If its Mr. Shaw, I'll be right out, Angel.
- Angel: Yessim. Shall I offer him a drink?
- Clare Bennett: Well, don't encourage him.
- Angel: That boy don't need no encouragement, honey.
- King Shaw: [singing] Between you and me, To use the vernacular, You've got what they call, "Oomph" in your eyes...
- Clare Bennett: What excuse can I give him, as late as this.
- Bert C. Matthews: Well, tell him the the truth.
- Clare Bennett: That's an idea.
- Bert C. Matthews: No, no, that wouldn't be feminine. Give him the one you always give me - the headache.
- Johnny Brett: When success goes to a dancer's feet, he's all right; but, when it goes to his head, he's top-heavy!
- Johnny Brett: Come on, we'd better go through your routine.
- King Shaw: Routine. Routine! Routine! Don't you ever think of anything else?
- Johnny Brett: Okay. It's your routine, not mine.
- Johnny Brett: What's the matter, King?
- King Shaw: So you took Clare out to lunches?
- Johnny Brett: No crime in that, is there?
- King Shaw: No, no. We share everything.
- King Shaw: Well, well. The more you know about women, the less you know about women. Gosh, I was beginning to think I had a permanent lease behind the eight ball.
