• Laurey : Curly! You're sittin' on the stove!

  Curly : Yeouch!

  [Jumps up, feels the stove] 

  Curly : Cold as a hunk of ice.

  Laurey : Wish it would've burned a hole in your pants.

• Laurey : [to Curly]  Thought you was somebody.

• Laurey : So that's that old Cummings gal I heared so much talk of.

  Curly : You seen her before, ain't you?

  Laurey : Yeah, but not since she got so old. Never did see anybody get so peaked-lookin' in such a short time.

  Aunt Eller Murphy : Yeah. Says she's 18. Ha! Bet she's 19.

• Ado Annie Carnes : There won't never be nobody like Will.

  Laurey : Then what about this peddler-man?

  Ado Annie Carnes : Oh, there won't never be nobody like him neither.

  Laurey : Well, you got to make up your mind. Which one do you like the best?

  Ado Annie Carnes : Whatever one I'm with.

• Laurey : We don't want people talkin' about us, do we?

  Curly : Do you think people really do talk about us?

  Laurey : You know how they are, like a swarm of mud wasps, always got to be buzzing about something.

• Laurey : [singing]  Don't sigh and gaze at me. Your sighs are so like mine. Your eyes mustn't glow like mine. People will say we're in love.

• Laurey : [singing]  Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours?

  Curly : [singing]  Why do the neighbors gossip all day behind their doors?

  Laurey : [singing]  I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue. Here is the gist, a practical list of don'ts for you. Don't throw bouquets at me. Don't please my folks too much. Don't laugh at my jokes too much. People will say we're in love.

• Laurey : [singing]  Has it really got a team of snow-white horses?

  Curly : [singing]  One's like snow. The other's more like milk.
