• Phil Baker : Oh, Dorita, you remember Mr. Potter and Mr. Mason.

  Dorita : Ah! I remember Mr. Potty. You are here to kick up some more heels, huh?

  Peyton Potter : No!

  Phil Baker : Mr. Potter wants you to come to his house this weekend.

  Dorita : Ah-ah-ah, you naughty boy. You are what they call a fast-work man, yes?

• Dorita : [singing]  Some people say I dress too gay, But every day I feel so gay, And when I'm gay, I dress that way, Is something wrong with that? Noooo!

• Edie Allen : Dorita, you're snoring again.

  [Dorita grunts and rolls over] 

  Edie Allen : Dorita! Dorita, wake up.

  Dorita : [Wakes up with a start]  What's the matter? Buglers?

• Peyton Potter : I am a businessman. I go in for no foolishness. I'm entirely business.

  Dorita : Oh, I like that. Maybe you show me how to be all business too!

• Dorita : Oh, yeah?

  [singing] 

  Dorita : You're in the kind of a place that seems, Like a little cabaret in Rio, Then you hear a Boogie-Woogie trio, And you discover you're in New York, A "senhorita" with the flashing eyes, Looks to you as if she might be chummy, But she only wants to play gin-rummy, And you discover you're in New York, You hear a tropical drum, You drink a tropical rum, You're in a tropical spot, And yet, you really are not, In case you're missing the point, You're in a typical joint, On gay Broadway...

• Dorita : [singing]  I wonder why does ev'rybody look at me, And then begin to talk about a Christmas tree? I hope that means that ev'ryone is glad to see, The lady in the tutti-frutti hat, The gentlemen, they want to make me say, "sí, sí", But I don't tell them that, I tell them, "Yes, sir-ee!" And maybe that is why they come for dates to me, The lady in the tutti-frutti hat...

• Phil Baker : I suppose you came down to meet our train, eh?

  Edie Allen : Yes, I did, but I was a little early.

  Phil Baker : Of course, you couldn't have been seeing a few soldiers off, by any chance.

  Dorita : A few soldiers? Only one, I'll bet you. Sergeant Crazy.

  Edie Allen : It's Casey, Dorita. And what's wrong with saying good-bye to a soldier?

  Phil Baker : Nothing.

  Dorita : I call it nice works if you can get him.

• Vivian Potter : Are you the woman?

  Dorita : Of course I'm a woman. Do I look like a man?

• Phil Baker : I guess Vivian takes after her.

  Dorita : A block off the old chip, huh?

• Dorita : Sergeant Mason? He's Sergeant Crazy!

  Vivian Potter : Oh, I think it's you that's crazy.

  Dorita : Oh, no, no, I'm not crazy. My name is Dorita.

• Mrs. Peyton Potter : Ah, I remember you from your pictures in the newspapers, or was it the Police Gazette? How are you?

  Dorita : I'm very well to do. Thank you.

  Mrs. Peyton Potter : Ah, you do very well what you do do.

• Dorita : Oh, marvelous! Then everything is donkey-dory, huh?

• Vivian Potter : This is the man I'm going to marry.

  Dorita : What? Then he's a two-time, double-cross snake of the bush.

• Vivian Potter : You were telling the truth?

  Dorita : Scratch my heart.

• Dorita : Mr. Potty, I'm afraid of you.

  Peyton Potter : You are, really?

• Peyton Potter : You have the busiest hands.

  Dorita : Yes? You think so?

• Dorita : Okay, I guess the jig is down. Now, I might as well make a clean chest of it.

• Dorita : Mr. Mason is serving everyone mint jalops and I bring you a mint jalops too! It's delicious.

  Peyton Potter : Yes, well, you might have saved yourself the trouble. I am a teetotaller. I never touch alcohol.

  Dorita : Oh, you don't touch it. You drink it.

• Dorita : I wash my face of the whole business!

• Dorita : [singing]  Paducah, Paducah, Paducah, Paducah, Paducah, If you wanna, you can rhyme it with bazooka, But you can't pooh-pooh Paducah, That's another name for paradise.

• Dorita : It wasn't my fault. He swooped me off my feet.

• Andy Mason : Dorita! Where's Edie?

  Dorita : Oh, it's you. Shame on you, you Dr. Jekylls and Mr. Hydes.

• Edie Allen : Where have you two been?

  Dorita : To the cleaners.

  Edie Allen : The cleaners?

  Dorita : That's what they call the racetrack.

• Dorita : A block off the old chip, huh?

• Dorita : Then he's a two-time, double-cross snake in the bush.

• Dorita : I just spilled the cat out of the beans myself.

• Peyton Potter : I never touch alcohol.

  Dorita : Oh, you don't touch it, you drink it.
