- Penelope Peabody: Dogs are much smarter than people. They sense things. They're more loyal too. You see, dogs love you when no one else loves you. They don't care if your rich or smart or pretty or anything.

- Penelope Peabody: Oh, he's beautiful. So diminutive..
- Buckley: He's small too.
- Buckley: Men are funny people, honey. Sometimes they want somethin' till they get it, then they don't want it anymore. The big heels!
- Buckley: [singing] Now isn't better to go through life with a smile and a song, Than walkin' around with a face 11 miles long, Now you know that you can't go wrong, If you start off each day with a song. That's right, smile.
