Quotes 

• Old Major : I forbid you to sit on the damp ground, lest you catch pneumonia and let all the doctors take my money.

  Rosamond Gilbert : Oh, uncle, just once, couldn't I do whatever goes through my head? I'm sure you did a lot of stupid things back in your younger days!

• Rosamond Gilbert : I wish to wear a Japanese silk dressing gown - and then, my ultimate desire... I wish to marry a true gentleman.

• Rosamond Gilbert : I hope to make my crazy dreams come true, with a little help from my uncle's gold. Why shouldn't I? I want to - and I am able to! I won't do anything foolish, I only want to spread happiness and in that I will be extravagant. I would like to be a beneficent fairy for those in need.

• Rosamond Gilbert : What greater joy is there than to make a dream come true?

• Rosamond Gilbert : Well! Let it be - according to your desire! Nothing could be easier!

• John Squire : I envy your gaiety, your happiness. How do you look at life so joyously?

  Rosamond Gilbert : The secret to true happiness? It is to make those around you happy.

• John Squire : [after seeing Sydney, dressed as a man, kiss Rosamond]  That young man you just kissed - is he a family member?

  Rosamond Gilbert : No. Just one of my clients!

  John Squire : What? You allow yourself to be kissed by a gentleman you hardly know?

  Rosamond Gilbert : But that's just his way of expressing his gratitude. You see, I made him very happy!

  John Squire : A proper young lady does not accept such expressions of gratitude. I bid you farewell!
