Cosmo : [in song] You need a bit of... ooh, shock treatment/Get you jumpin' like a real live wire/Need a bit of... ooh, shock treatment/So look out, mister, don't you blow your last resistor for a vista that'll mystify ya!

Cosmo , Nation , Nurse Ansalong , 'Rest Home' Ricky : [singing] You're not just lookin' at a fast-food king/Just another well-known face/You're not lookin' at the king of anything/
Farley Flavors : I'm gonna shoot for the moon/I'm gonna play high noon/I'm gonna take on the entire human race/
Cosmo , Nation , Nurse Ansalong , 'Rest Home' Ricky : You're not looking at a king/
Farley Flavors : You're looking at an ace...

Cosmo McKinley : [singing] I'm not a locum with motive to suture myself. I've been a cynic for too many years. Playing doctor and nurse, it can be good for your health. I've seen clinics with those gimmicks in Tangiers.
Nation McKinley : But if you open your heart to a smooth operator, he'll take you for all that you've got. He'll hand you a curse that'll be with you later. It'll shake you the way he takes off... like a shot.

Cosmo McKinley : How dare this person take advantage of my weakness!
Nation McKinley : I don't think he intends to go *that* far.
[she and Bert chuckle]

Cosmo : Look out mister, don't blow your last resistor on a sister that'll certify ya.
-
Cosmo : Ah, hello, Mr. and... Mrs. Majors. How wonderful to see you. I'm Dr. Cosmo McKinley, and this is my sister and... colleague... Dr. Nation McKinley.
-
Cosmo : Help us to help him.

Audience : [Brad has just burst through a set piece onto the stage] Aah! It's the crazy man!
Brad Majors : [to Farley] Seducer!
Farley Flavors : [nervous] And... who are you, sir?
Brad Majors : Your twin brother and your accuser!
Janet Majors : Brad!
Cosmo : Arrest that man! He's committed to our care!
Janet Majors : I never signed your contract! He's not going anywhere.
Judge Oliver Wright : Revenge your twin, you tried to abuse her.
Farley Flavors : A ridiculous accusation! You... force me to refuse her.
Brad Majors : Then why did you choose her?
Farley Flavors : Because of you, *sir*!
