- Lady Port-Huntley: Go to Hell, Chester!
- Chester Kent: In due time. First I'm going to have my victory cigar.
- Chester Kent: I just rented a warehouse. I got people lined up to build sets, make costumes. I got musicians, arrangers. But I gotta put out first, or they'll shut me down.
- Narcissa: Maybe you should keep it simple.
- Chester Kent: America goes simple? That's a hot one. No, it's gotta be vulgar and obvious, full of gimmicks. You know, sadness, but with sass and pizzazz.

- Narcissa: I would hate to be so careless with loved ones.
