- [attempting to escape from the police]
- Gabey: Hilde, do you know where we can hide?
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: Sure, I know a place right across the Brooklyn bridge where they'll never find us.
- Gabey: Where is it?
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: Brooklyn!
- Gabey: You know, somewhere in the world there's a right girl for every boy. I guess I found the one for me before I even met you. I tried, but I can't forget her. But don't you worry. You'll find your guy. You're a nice girl Lucy.
- [He kisses her on the cheek]
- Gabey: Good night.
- Lucy Schmeeler: Oh you bad boy! Now I won't wash my cheek for a year.
- Officer Tracy, Car 44: [to his patrol car partner, after hearing about the dinosaur collapsing] Collapse? That's terrible. She's my favorite singing star, that Dinah Shore!
- [the other officer rolls his eyes]
- Claire Huddesen: You oughta feel proud that three sailors from the United States Navy got off the ship for one day, and what did they do? Were they thirsty for hard liquor? No. They were thirsty for culture. Were they running after girls? No. They came running to the museum to see your dinosaur. For months out at sea they were dreaming about your dinosaur.
- Ozzie: [after Claire took photo of him beside prehistoric man statue] Er, what are you doing tonight?
- Claire Huddesen: Now just a minute! I want you to know that my interest in you is purely scientific. I'm just a cold-blooded scientist. And I'm writing an anthropological study for this musuem. It's called : "The Modern Man... And What It Is"
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: [as Lucy prepares to go out] Don't worry, Lucy, I'll do the same for you one of these days.
- Lucy Schmeeler: When will you ever get the opportunity?
- Chip: Goodbye, Miss Schmeeler.
- Lucy Schmeeler: Goodbye, Mr. Chips!
- Claire Huddesen: How'd you feel if someone broke your dinosaur?
- Ozzie: Never had one. We were too poor.
- Claire Huddesen: [singing] Some guys care a lot for me. But my excitement they can't fan. Because I still await my primitive mate. We have a date... since the world began, my prehistoric man...!
- [dancing with Ozzie]
- Ozzie: If through a lot of foolery you lost your last red cent/ I wouldn't even stop to ask you why/I'd pawn my mother's jewelry, I'd steal my sister rent/It's all for you kid, you can milk me dry!
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: I bet we're losing them now.
- Chip: Losing them? They're multiplying like shmoos.
- Claire Huddesen: You see, there are all too few modern males who can measure up to the prehistoric.
- [singing]
- Claire Huddesen: Modern man is not for me, The movie star and Dapper Dan, Give me the healthy Joe from ages ago, A prehistoric man, What has Gable got for me, Or Mrs. Johnson's blond boy, Van, I want a happy ape, With no English drape...
- Brooklyn Girl on Subway: So, what'd he say?
- Brooklyn Girl on Subway: So, I said to him, "Listen, Mr. Gadolphin, I will not work overtime in this office no matter what. Whether its hands on the bookkeeping accounts or you."
- Brooklyn Girl on Subway: So, what'd he say?
- Brooklyn Girl on Subway: So, I said, "Listen, Mr. Gadolphin, you make just one more pass at me and yours truly is passing right out from the Grand Illusion Girdle Company."
- Brooklyn Girl on Subway: And what did he say?
- Chip: What are you doing driving a cab? The war's over.
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: I never give up anything I like. Get in.
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: Look, Chip, I've been waiting for you all my life. I knew you the minute I saw you. You're for me. I like your face, it's open. You know what I mean? Nothing in it. The kind of a face I could fall into. Kiss me.
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: Why don't you ditch these guys and come up to my place?
- Chip: Now, look, lady, I hardly know you. I've only got one day in town. I want to see the famous landmarks of the city.
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: Stick with me, kid. I'll show you plenty.
- Claire Huddesen: What a lucky girl I am. I've simply got to get your measurements.
- Ozzie: Oh, I'm Junior Miss, size 11, very high-waisted.
- Claire Huddesen: Gorgeous!
- Ozzie: Hmm.
- [takes the tape measure from Claire]
- Ozzie: Now, it's my turn.
- [starts measuring Claire]
- Claire Huddesen: Oh. Oh! Stop. How dare you!
- Ozzie: Oh, I was only playin', lady. Whatcha doin' tonight?
- Claire Huddesen: And now the head. The sub-super-dolichocephalic head. Oh, sailor, I love you for having that!
- Ozzie: Gee, all my life I wanted someone to love me for my sakidophalic head.
- Claire Huddesen: [singing] Bearskin, bearskin, He just sat around, In nothing but bearskin, I really love bare skin...
- Claire Huddesen: [singing] Jitters, jitters, He never had jitters, No repression, He just believed, In free self-expression, I love self-expression...
- Claire Huddesen: [singing] He never knew what made him tick, He never paid it seems, For telling his dreams, Poor prehistoric Dick...
- Ivy Smith: Madame, my parents in Meadowville are so proud of me. They're so thrilled that I'm Miss Turnstiles.
- Mme. Dilyovska: Second position.
- Ivy Smith: I know that being Miss Turnstiles means nothing, but they think it makes me an important person. Gee, it'd be just terrible if they found out I'm working as a cooch dancer.
- Gabey: I had an hour to kill so I thought I'd give some lucky little chick a break. If you play your cards right, it could be you.
- Mme. Dilyovska: Remember, you are fortunate girl! You study with great Dilyovska who has taught everyone from Nijinsky to Mickey Rooney!
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: Whisper sweet nothings in my ear. Like the population of the Bronx or how many hot dogs were sold in the last fiscal year of the Yankee Stadium.
- Chip: You know, Hildy, I feel kind of guilty about Gabey. He's my pal and he looks after me. I mean, maybe we should have looked for lvy.
- Chip: [singing] You're cheap, dear, Cheap at any price, dear, Cheap for such a diamond, Cheap for such a pearl...
- Francois - Head Waiter: Well, folks, what will it be?
- Chip: Say, what's in this? "Explodo Bomborino," sounds good.
- Francois - Head Waiter: Four kinds of rum, brandy, grenadine, lime juice, papaya juice, the white of one duck egg. Only 12 to a customer.
- Chip: How about this one: "Dreamland Nightmare"?
- Francois - Head Waiter: Vodka, champagne, prune juice, floating chopped chives...
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: He'll have a beer.
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: Well, let's have a toast.
- Gabey: All right. This one's for the boys. Here's to the girls we found in the great big city.
- Brunhilde Esterhazy: And this one's for the girls. Here's to being found.
- Ozzie: Ladies and gentlemen, we're off on a lark. I've got one suggestion before we embark. There are lots of nice things to do in the dark. But let's not go rowing in Central Park. Woo! Woo! Woo!
- [singing]
- Ozzie: We're going on the town
- Chip, Ozzie: New York! We're riding on a rocket, Woo! Woo! Woo!
- Chip, Ozzie, Gabey: We're gonna really sock it! Because tonight's the night
- Chip, Ozzie, Gabey, Brunhilde Esterhazy, Claire Huddesen, Ivy Smith: We're goin' on a toot, We're goin' to raise a riot, The Brooklyn Bridge, we'll buy it, And hit the heights tonight, Get high as kites tonight...
- Officer Tracy, Car 44: Awe-inspiring, isn't it? Majestic, that's what it is. It does a man's soul good.
