• Mr. Hyde : Ah, my pretty, you deserve better than that. You ought to live in a place worthy of you!

  Ivy Pearson : Buckingham Palace, I suppose.

  Mr. Hyde : [laughs]  That's the spirit! I like it. Sit down, my dear. Sit down, just for a moment. You should have a place that would set off that fine body of yours and yellow hair and pale face and orbs to match too, my dear.

• Ivy Pearson : Look where he kicked me.

  [hikes up her dress to expose her thighs] 

  Dr. Jekyll : It's only a bruise. It will be quite well in a few days. By the way, you mustn't wear to tight a garter. It's bad for you.

  [Ivy presses Dr. Jekyll's hand on her thigh] 

  Dr. Jekyll : It impedes the circulation.

  Ivy Pearson : You're kindly to look after me. Anyone can see now, you're a real gent, you are. Now, you're the kind a woman would do something for.

• Ivy Pearson : He's hit me here too, the blighter! He's broken me ribs, that's what he's done. I'm going to faint.

  Dr. Jekyll : [feels her ribs]  You're not seriously hurt. A little rest would do you no harm though.

  Ivy Pearson : You think I ought to go to bed?

  Dr. Jekyll : I know of no better place for a rest.

• Ivy Pearson : [singing]  Champagne Ivy is my name, Champagne Ivy is my name, Good for any game at night my boys, Come and join me in a spree...

• Ivy Pearson : You're good, you are. You won't let me go back to him, will you? You're an angel. You're an angel. I'll do anything you like. I ain't as bad as you think. And I ain't a bad looker, either. I'll work for you. I'll slave for you! I'll love you.

• Ivy Pearson : Come back soon. Won't you?

  Dr. Jekyll : Sorry, I'm afraid I can't.

  Ivy Pearson : Oh, yes, you can!

  [breathly] 

  Ivy Pearson : Sooooon.

  Dr. Jekyll : Good night.

  Ivy Pearson : [breathly]  Come baaaaaack.

• Ivy's Admirer at Music Hall : You're a bit of something to look at...

  Ivy Pearson : Not all bad, so they say.

  Ivy's Admirer at Music Hall : You ain't conceited are you?

  Ivy Pearson : Well, I has me points.

• Mr. Hyde : I'm no gentleman. No. But, I am money! Perhaps, my looks don't please?

  Ivy Pearson : Well, you ain't no beauty.

• Ivy Pearson : The minute I laid eyes on you, I know'd you had a kind heart.

• Ivy Pearson : You don't know him, sir. He ain't a man, he's a devil. He knows what you're thinkin' about, he does. I'm afraid of him! I'm afraid of him! Now, if he knows that that I've been here today, I don't know what he'll do! It won't be anything human, sir! Oh, save me! Save me! Keep him off me! I'll do anything you ask. I'll be your slave! Oh, help me!

• Ivy Pearson : Here's hoping that Hyde rots wherever he is and burns where he ought to be!

  [takes a drink] 

  Ivy Pearson : And here's hopin' that Dr. Jekyll will think of Ivy once in awhile.

• Ivy Pearson : I don't think you love me seriously.

  Dr. Jekyll : Oh, I love you better than that. I love you gaily! Happily! High-heartedly!

• Mr. Hyde : I'll give you a lover now. His name is Death!

  Ivy Pearson : No, no! He ain't! It ain't so!

  Mr. Hyde : Oh, ain't it so, my little bird, my little starling! Why, you lying wench!

• Dr. Jekyll : I love you so much. I don't want to wait any longer. I want you to marry me now.

  Ivy Pearson : Darling, I want to with all my heart. You know I do. But, father's so difficult.

  Dr. Jekyll : I don't want to marry your father.
