Quotes 

  • [attempting to escape from the police] 

    Gabey : Hilde, do you know where we can hide?

    Brunhilde Esterhazy : Sure, I know a place right across the Brooklyn bridge where they'll never find us.

    Gabey : Where is it?

    Brunhilde Esterhazy : Brooklyn!

  • Gabey : You know, somewhere in the world there's a right girl for every boy. I guess I found the one for me before I even met you. I tried, but I can't forget her. But don't you worry. You'll find your guy. You're a nice girl Lucy.

    [He kisses her on the cheek] 

    Gabey : Good night.

    Lucy Schmeeler : Oh you bad boy! Now I won't wash my cheek for a year.

  • Gabey , Chip , Ozzie : [singing]  New York, New York, a wonderful town / The Bronx is up and the Battery down / The people ride in a hole in the ground / New York, New York, it's a wonderful town!

  • Lucy Schmeeler : Did you see "The Lost Weekend"?

    Gabey : Yes. I think I'm living through it.

  • Chip : Gee, Gabey, why d'ya wanna chase girls all the time?

    Gabey : I'll tell ya when your voice changes, junior.

  • Gabey : Gesundheit.

    Lucy Schmeeler : That's the nicest thing anybody ever said to me!

  • Gabey : [Gabey and Ivy discuss where they should meet]  Where?

    Gabey , Ivy Smith : We forgot to say where!

    Gabey : Top of the Empire State Building.

    Ivy Smith : But it's so high up!

    Gabey : Oh it won't seem high to me. I'm in the clouds right now.

  • Gabey : Are they close?

    Ozzie : Any closer and we'd be chasing them.

  • Ozzie : [seeing an attractive blonde pass by]  Wow! Get a load of that!

    Gabey : [clearly unjazzed]  Not bad.

    Ozzie : Not bad? Get him! Mr. Particular! Who you got waiting for you in New York? Ava Gardner?

  • Gabey : All I know is I gotta find this girl.

    Brunhilde Esterhazy : Get your red-hot taxis here.

  • Gabey : I had an hour to kill so I thought I'd give some lucky little chick a break. If you play your cards right, it could be you.

  • Brunhilde Esterhazy : Well, let's have a toast.

    Gabey : All right. This one's for the boys. Here's to the girls we found in the great big city.

    Brunhilde Esterhazy : And this one's for the girls. Here's to being found.

  • Ozzie : Ladies and gentlemen, we're off on a lark. I've got one suggestion before we embark. There are lots of nice things to do in the dark. But let's not go rowing in Central Park. Woo! Woo! Woo!

    [singing] 

    Ozzie : We're going on the town

    Chip , Ozzie : New York! We're riding on a rocket, Woo! Woo! Woo!

    Chip , Ozzie , Gabey : We're gonna really sock it! Because tonight's the night

    Chip , Ozzie , Gabey , Brunhilde Esterhazy , Claire Huddesen , Ivy Smith : We're goin' on a toot, We're goin' to raise a riot, The Brooklyn Bridge, we'll buy it, And hit the heights tonight, Get high as kites tonight...

  • Gabey : Fellas, I hit the jackpot today. Nothing much. Just the most famous girl in New York.

    Sailor Simkins : Yeah? Who you out with? The Statue of Liberty?

  • Sailor Simkins : Hey, how'd you meet a dame like that, anyway?

    Gabey : Magnetism, boys. Sheer magnetism.

  • Brunhilde Esterhazy : I reckon you're stuck with us.

    Chip : Yeah! We're your pals, pal.

    [singing] 

    Chip : Oh, when you feel downhearted, You must remember this, Things never are, As bad as they could be, When friends have all departed, There's one you'll never miss, I'll be right with you, You can count on me

    Ozzie , Lucy Schmeeler , Claire Huddesen , Brunhilde Esterhazy : Yeah! You can count on me, You can count on me

    Chip : As the adding machine once said, "You can count on me"

    Ozzie , Lucy Schmeeler , Claire Huddesen , Brunhilde Esterhazy , Gabey : Oh...

  • Chip : Gee, real champagne?

    Gabey : Yeah! Not cream soda, not celery tonic; but, real champagne.

    Claire Huddesen : Ozzie, if you say the bubbles tickle your nose, I'll drown you!

  • Chip : I know how tough you're taking this, Gabe.

    Gabey : I know you know.

  • Ozzie : [seeing a young woman walk by]  Wow! Get a load of that?

    Gabey : [unenthusiastically]  Not bad.
