• Judy : They want me to marry Harry Flack!

  Melvin : Judy, you can't! I-I love you, Judy!

  Judy : Shh... Melvin...

  Melvin : You're not gonna do it, are you?

  Judy : Well, you see...

  Melvin : Because if you do it, I'll be very frank about this, Judy. If you do it, I'll kill myself!

  Judy : Melvin! Stop it!

  Melvin : I mean it! Judy, you know how I feel! I'd do anything for you! I'd rob a bank, I'd take a rocket to the moon, anything! Just ask me!

  Judy : Put me on the cover! My picture, on the cover of the magazine!

  Melvin : Judy, I said I'd kill myself or take a rocket to the moon, but don't ask the impossible!

• Judy : Harry Flack is coming to dinner Monday night.

  Melvin : Oh. Well, that's simple. Poison him.

  Judy : He wants to talk to Pop! He's going to propose!

  Melvin : Propose! To your father?

• Mergo : [about Melvin]  The last I saw him, he was going to throw himself off a tall building.

  Judy : Oh, no!

  Mergo : Oh, he didn't do it. I'd've heard from him first.

  Judy : How do you know?

  Mergo : He promised me the shot!

• Judy : I...I love Melvin!

• Mr. Schneider : Of all the ridiculous--Why is he taking pictures in the bathroom?

  Judy : Pops, it's my career!

  Mr. Schneider : In the bathroom?

  Mrs. Schneider : It's been going on all day. I didn't know what to do.

• Melvin : I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?

  Judy : Melvin, you always leap at me. You don't have to leap at me. Look.

  [gives Melvin a long kiss] 

• Mrs. Schneider : Judy! Come on, get up! It's late! JUDY!

  Judy : Aw, Mom, Bob Taylor was just saying something important!

  Mrs. Schneider : Oh, come on!

  Judy : Oh, just five minutes! Maybe I can dream him back!

• Judy : Don't hurt Melvin!

  Mr. Schneider : Hurt him! I'll rip his ears off!

• Judy , Melvin : [singing]  Much to my regret, My heart is just an apple cart that's waiting to be upset, For we have never met -...

• Judy : Say, take it easy fellas!

• Harry Flack : Surprise!

  Judy : Why, Harry! I thought you had to work tonight?

  Harry Flack : Well, all work and no play makes Harry lots of jack!

• Melvin : Miss LaRoy, I'd like to take pictures of you sometime.

  Judy : Really?

  Harry Flack : Why?

  Melvin : Well, look at her. She has some very interesting possibilities.

  [Harry looks her over] 

  Melvin : I'm thinking in terms of a layout for the magazine. Maybe a two-page spread.

• Melvin : I think we ought to broaden the scope of the layout.

  Judy : You mean more poses?

• Judy : Melvin, you bit my ear!

  Melvin : Oh, I'm sorry. Let me see.

  Judy : Is it bleeding?

  Melvin : No, it's just scratched, that's all. Oh, this is one of my bad days. I don't even know how to kiss a girl,

  Judy : Ah, it wasn't so bad. You just picked the wrong spot.

• Mrs. Schneider : You hardly ever see Harry any more.

  Judy : Well, I have fun with Melvin. Much more than I have with Harry!

  Mr. Schneider : Fun? What's that got to do with it? I never had any fun with your mother. But, I always kept her nicely.

• Judy : Let's not talk about it.

  Mr. Schneider : Fine. Great solution for everything: don't talk about it.

• Judy : [To Melvin]  Would you like to have dinner with us?

  Clarabelle : [To Judy]  Pop says if the subject comes up, no.

• Judy : [singing]  Call me Judy!

  Melvin : Judy, you deserve, an Anatomy Award.

  Judy : Huh?
