- Adele Cross: Next thing you'll be painting women without clothes.
- Christopher Cross: I never saw a woman without any clothes.
- Adele Cross: I should hope not!
- Kitty March: Well, I was going to do this myself, but, uh...
- [hands him toenail polish]
- Kitty March: Paint me, Chris!... They'll be masterpieces.
- Kitty March: How long does it take you to paint a picture?
- Christopher Cross: Sometimes a day, sometimes a year. You can't tell. It has to grow.
- Kitty March: I never knew paint could grow.
- Christopher Cross: Feeling grows. You know, that's the important thing, feeling. You take me. No one ever taught me how to draw, so I just put a line around what I feel when I look at things.
- Kitty March: Yeah I see.
- Christopher Cross: It's like falling in love I guess. You know... first you see someone, then it keeps growing, until you can't think of anyone else.
- Kitty March: That's interesting.
- Christopher Cross: The way I think of things, that all art is. Every painting, if it's any good, is a love affair.
- Kitty March: I never heard anyone talk like that before.
- Christopher Cross: There aren't many people you can talk to this way. So you keep it to yourself. You walk around with everything bottled up.
- [last lines]
- Kitty March: Johnny. Oh, Johnny.
- Johnny Prince: Lazy Legs.
- Kitty March: Jeepers, I love you Johnny.
- Johnny Prince: And then you gave me a dirty look.
- Kitty March: I didn't give you a dirty look!
- Johnny Prince: Listen, any girl that waits two hours in the rain for a guy is gonna give him a dirty look.
- Kitty March: Who do you think you are? My guardian angel?
- Millie Ray: Not me, honey. I lost those wings a long time ago.
- Reporter on Train: [referring to being executed] I'd rather have a judge give me the works than to have to do it to myself.
- Kitty March: You wouldn't know love if it hit you in the face.
- Millie Ray: If that's where it hits you, you ought to know!
- Johnny Prince: Lazy Legs,
- [kisses her]
- Johnny Prince: I don't know what you told Janeway, but you got him eatin' right out of your hand.
- Kitty March: It won't stop with lunch!
- Christopher Cross: Hey, did you read this?
- Adele Cross: Read what?
- Christopher Cross: This murder in Queens. A man killed his wife with the window weight, put her body in the trunk, shipped her to California. It says here...
- Adele Cross: I've read the paper, thank you. He didn't get away with it, did he? He'll go to the chair, as he should.
- Christopher Cross: Yeah, a man hasn't got a chance with these New York detectives.
- Kitty March: You know those art galleries on Fifth Avenue? The prices they charge! I saw one little picture that cost fifty-thousand dollars. They call it, uh, 'Seezan'.
- Christopher Cross: Cezanne? Oh, he was a great French painter. I'd like to own that painting.
- Kitty March: You would? For fifty-thousand dollars?
- Christopher Cross: You can't put any price on masterpieces like that. They're worth, well, whatever you can afford to pay for them.
- Kitty March: You know what, Chris? I bet I saw some of your pictures there and didn't know it. Next time I'll look for your name.
- Christopher Cross: Oh no no no no no. I, uh... I don't sell my pictures.
- Kitty March: Well not in New York you mean.
- Christopher Cross: No, I-...
- Kitty March: I know. I bet your sell your pictures in Europe, France or someplace like that. I don't know much about painting, but I bet your get as much for your pictures in France as those Frenchman get right here in New York. You're never appreciated in your own country.
- Christopher Cross: Well that's one way of looking at it. But you know when I paint, I don't think of money. I just paint for fun.
- Kitty March: Fun?
- Christopher Cross: Yes. I think it's the most fun I know, painting. I wish I had all the time to paint.
- Kitty March: But don't you have time?
- Christopher Cross: [stammering] Well you know... business takes a lot of time.
- Kitty March: I wonder when you get all that money.
- Kitty March: Why are looking at me? Is my face dirty?
- Christopher Cross: No, it's beautiful.
- Kitty March: I'll bet it is!
- Millie Ray: May I come in to my own apartment?
- Johnny Prince: Hello, Funny Face.
- Millie Ray: Why don't you just move in, Johnny. Then I can move out.
- Kitty March: Now, Millie, stop picking on my fiancé.
- Millie Ray: How do you spell that word?
- Christopher Cross: Don't cry, Kitty, please don't cry.
- Kitty March: I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!
- Christopher Cross: Kitty!
- Kitty March: Oh, you idiot! How can a man be so dumb?
- Christopher Cross: Kitty...
- Christopher Cross: I've wanted to laugh in your face ever since I first met you. You're old and ugly and I'm sick of you. Sick, sick, sick!
- Kitty March: I thought you were modeling girdles for the catalog.
- Millie Ray: I have been. Oh, I ache like a dog. If corsets ever come back, I swear I'll quit modeling.
- Millie Ray: Honey, what's happened to you?
- Kitty March: Don't you wish it could happen to you? I'm in love - crazy in love!
- Millie Ray: With a man that pushes you around the way I wouldn't push a cat around.
- Kitty March: You leave Johnny out of this!
- Millie Ray: With your looks and figure you could get any man you want!
- Kitty March: Sure! But there's only one I want.
- Millie Ray: Yeah, and he's making a tramp out of you.
- Kitty March: I've been out to dinner with him three times this week and now he's talking about breakfast. He's getting that look in his eye.
- Kitty March: The way I look at it, every painting, if it's any good, is a love affair.
- Damon Janeway: May I quote that?
- Kitty March: Oh no, no, no.
- Kitty March: He tried to kiss me today. And don't think I liked it.
- Johnny Prince: Ahhh. You've been kissed before.
- [first lines]
- Bank Employees: [singing] For he's a jolly good fellow. For he's a jolly good fellow. For he's a jolly good fellow... which nobody can deny. Which nobody can deny. Which nobody can deny. Which nobody can deny.
- [repeat chorus]
