- The Four Aces: [Opening Tune] Yippee-Yi, Yippee-Yay, Everyone's headin' for Nevada today. So here's an invitation from The Four Aces, Invitin' you to come onto the wide open spaces. If you wanna have fun, in the sun, out west, here's what we suggest: Meet Me In Las Vegas...
- Young Groom: Mr. Culdane, we have a reservation, but the people in our room haven't moved out yet and they say there are no other vacancies.
- Young Bride: And we just got married.
- Tom Culdane: Well, it won't be long. Why don't you go to the bar and have a drink on the house while you're waiting.
- Young Groom: But, we only got two days and there's all this time here waiting...
- Young Bride: Shhh! You don't have to tell everybody everything.
- Maria Corvier: While I'm dancing, people will be eating?
- Tom Culdane: Well, after all, how much noise do people make eating?
- Maria Corvier: Crunching celery, drinking soup, talking. Oh, no, Mr. Culdane, I'm sorry, it's impossible.
- Tom Culdane: There's nothing I can do about it.
- Maria Corvier: Well, you can speak to the owners, can't you?
- Maria Corvier: Miss Corvier, the owners are businessmen. You say art to them, they say, "Art who?" No, all they know about is making money and money they make from people. And people, while they're catching a floor show, like to eat. See?
- Maria Corvier: And what does that make me? An extra dish?
- Tom Culdane: Well, honey, it makes you just about the highest priced dish in history!
- Chuck Rodwell: Look, baby!
- Maria Corvier: Please stop calling me baby or honey or bunny!
- Chuck Rodwell: I'm sorry, I don't know your name.
- Maria Corvier: I don't want you to!
- Lotzi: All of the sudden, I can't believe it. You got lucky?
- Chuck Rodwell: Lotzi, do you believe in witches?
- Lotzi: Certainly. Why? You meet one? Her? The ballerina? You're barking up your wrong witch!
- Pierre: Ah, it isn't so difficult. It isn't as if you had to be cooperative and reasonable like a normal human being. You're a ballerina. You're not supposed to be normal.
- Maria Corvier: Nobody is normal in Las Vegas!
- Sari Hatvany: "Pierre says, Pierre says, says, says." Since you are 14, Pierre is always saying. Isn't it time you say a few words yourself?
- Maria Corvier: You're the one who's always saying, "Listen to Pierre. A ballerina shouldn't think."
- Sari Hatvany: I know. It must be Las Vegas. I'm reacting to it very peculiar. Its reminding me of Monte Carlo in my youth. And what a youth! Ah, but, about that, you would not know. Poor thing.
- Maria Corvier: If you mean all those arch-dukes and millionaires buzzing around you like bees, I ought to know. You've told me often enough.
- Passing Girl: Want to try again, baby?
- Maria Corvier: He hasn't the time, thank you anyway.
- Passing Girl: Excuse me. I didn't know you had your nurse with you.
- Chuck Rodwell: Bunny, let me do my own brushing off, will ya?
- Maria Corvier: Could we dance? Just for a minute, I've never danced with anyone, except professionally.
- Chuck Rodwell: Bunny, it occurs to me there's an awful lot of things you've never done.
- Maria Corvier: You have no idea. In fact, I had no idea. And I'd like to do every single one of them tonight.
- Kelly Donavan: [singing] You're looking at a real sophisticate, the lust for life has been my goal, I've done a lot of things I shan't relate, But I refuse to rock-n-roll!
- Maria Corvier: I just wanted to know how you feel about ballet?
- Chuck Rodwell: What?
- Maria Corvier: Ballet.
- Chuck Rodwell: Oh, ballet, Oh, I can take it or leave it. Of course, I haven't seen you, yet.
- Maria Corvier: You certainly haven't.
- Maria Corvier: The only thing that could possibly keep me from opening here would be my deciding not to, not your deciding anything. If I made a fool of myself last night, why shouldn't I? If I want to Can-Can down Main Street or gamble with him or not gamble with him, why shouldn't I? Let's get this straight Mr. Culdane, what I do or I don't do, depends entirely on me!
- [Storms off]
- Chuck Rodwell: Man, that's nobody, that's a tiger!
- Tom Culdane: Whatever she is, she can have me.
- Lotzi: Ah, well, if it isn't Lucky Chucky.
- Chuck Rodwell: And a happy good morning to you.
- Lotzi: You're having a fine night's sleep I hope.
- Chuck Rodwell: Wonderful. I spent the night with Emma.
- Lotzi: [to two old spinsters at the blackjack table] Don't worry, girls, its a horse, Emma.
- Pierre: May I join the celebration? I'll take the check and leave with the check; of course, after drinking your health in champagne. If they have champagne in Las Vegas?
- Maria Corvier: They have everything in Las Vegas.
- Sammy Davis Jr.: [singing] They sashayed down to the barroom, A place where you go chaperoned, Strictly a come as you are-o, And the clientele was stoned, Everyone was juiced, As you may have deduced...
- Sammy Davis Jr.: [singing] Now, enter a doll name of Nelly, A weirdy the hipsters would boost, Man, poets like Byron or Shelly, Would have dug this chick the most, Jack, this gal came on, Sort of like a female Don Juan...
- Sari Hatvany: [Final lines] Don't you understand? Lucky at love, unlucky at cards. Or, versa-vica.
- Pierre: Versa vica.
- Tom Culdane: Miss Corvier, an artist like you with ethics and 30,000 dollars a week for two weeks? You're not thinking about walking out?
- Maria Corvier: I left this country when I was 13, so, I can't tell you what I'm thinking! I never learned the words in English.
- Chuck Rodwell: Hold my hand, will you honey, just for luck. Just a second, baby. Relax.
- Roulette Dealer: Seven Red.
- Chuck Rodwell: Why you great big beautiful doll! That's not a hand, that's a rabbit's foot! You're a bunny rabbit, that's what you are.
- Maria Corvier: Let me go! You idiot!
- Chuck Rodwell: Why, bunny?
- Maria Corvier: Really!
- [Storms off]
- Chuck Rodwell: That's the worst tempered bunny I've run into.
- Worried Boss: I want you to get him away from the table.
- Kelly Donavan: How?
- Worried Boss: Kelly, I'm not a girl. I don't know how girls make guys do things and stop doing things. But, girls know how! The last I heard, you were a girl!
- Kelly Donavan: Well, I don't care. I like Chuck - and I don't like you.
- New Frontier Croupier: Well that leaves only one question: how do you like your job?
- Chuck Rodwell: Bunny, are you just talking or do you know what your saying?
- Maria Corvier: I know what I'm saying, I just don't know where its going.
- Chuck Rodwell: I do.
- [Kiss]
- Maria Corvier: What happened to our fairy godmother?
- Chuck Rodwell: She took a powder, that's all. Well, she got us together. I guess, you figure, that's all she was supposed to do. We'll show her. We won't invite her to our party. Right?
- Maria Corvier: Right.
- Maria Corvier: Let's not talk about this or anything tonight. I'm tired.
- Pierre: Of course you are, my dear. You've been on a big, gay merry-go-round. You have to expect a little let down when the music stops. And it always does - on merry-go-rounds.
- Tony Martin: Excuse me, Ma'am, I wonder if you'd introduce me to Miss Corvier?
- Sari Hatvany: My dear boy, I'm afraid your timing is very wrong.
