Quotes 

• Allana : Oh, Dad. I think I'll go and try my luck.

  Wagner : Have you got enough?

  Allana : Enough to lose.

• Wagner : I saw you talking to that fellow we met in Nice. Is he rushing you?

  Allana : No, darling. I'm rushing him!

• Allana : Now listen, darling, a little later on I'll be able to tell you more about him - and about myself.

  Wagner : Later on?

  Allana : After he kisses me. Now, don't worry. I haven't disgraced your gray hairs yet.

• Allana : Why don't you like me? You know, I can be very nice if given a little encouragement.

  Sam Lee : I'm sure you could.

  Allana : Then, for heaven's sake, stop acting like a wooden Indian. Do something! Seize me! Take me in your arms - and dance with me.

• Sam Lee : He's from Oklahoma. When he first saw her, he fell madly in love with her. He was trying to arrange an introduction when, one day, she surprised him by smiling at him.

  Allana : Spanish hussy.

  Sam Lee : But, she's not Spanish. That's just it. She's an American Indian from his own state. And she knew him as a child. When Bathurst first told me about it, I thought it was an extraordinary love match.

  Allana : Extraordinary? Why?

  Sam Lee : Because most people have such strong racial prejudices.

  Allana : Sam, you have the strangest ideas. There're no taboos among people of our class.

• Sam Lee : Detest you? Darling, I worship you.

  Allana : Then, kiss me - and don't talk.

• Wagner : Where were you last night?

  Allana : Oh, don't ask. I was on a long journey. Exploring unknown lands. Sailing uncharted seas.

• Wagner : Allana, I told you I'd investigate and I found out...

  Allana : I hope you didn't find anything that would keep you from the wedding.

  Wagner : I found out - that he's a Chinaman!

• Allana : You liar. You cheat. You dirty, rotten, Chinaman!

• Allana : What about my pride? I'm a Californian. I was raised amongst - Chinamen.

  Bathurst : Pardon me, amongst Coolies. Sam Lee is a gentleman of breeding.

• Allana : Oh, Daddy. Don't nag.

• Allana : Oh! If I had the courage of a jellyfish, I would have told you ages ago!
