- Duke: I don't believe in gambling. That's immoral! Huh, you start gambling, you start smoking cigarettes, going out with girls. No telling how you'll wind up. I don't believe in gambling.
- Carol Walker: You have all the makings of a *perfect* eccentric bohemian misfit. But, somewhere, you went bad.
- Aunt Sophie: It's funny how unmarried men have such nice manners and how quick they are to lose them when they get married.
- Duke: And that's why you and I must never marry, Aunt Sophie. It would spoil something beautiful.
- Duke: Just a minute. Look. Say, can't we talk this over, Miss? Ah, Miss?
- Carol Walker: Near miss, chum. Very near miss.
- Ray Charles: Please give me an A in the place of that G you're playing.
- [singing]
- Ray Charles: People talkin' tryin' to break us up, yeah, Why won't they let us be, Sticks and stones may break my bones, But talk don't bother me...
- Carol Walker: Right from the start I knew that man was an angler, a promoter, a leach.
- Freddy: And a wonderful one, you're right.
- Carol Walker: You interest me psychiatrically.
- Duke: I do?
- Carol Walker: We'll meet for a preliminary session. If you're as warped as you seem to be, I might take your case.
- Freddy: Here you are. Let's see. That's one, two, three, three-fifty, three-sixty, three-seventy. And - here's a little something for you.
- Cab Driver: Two cents?
- Freddy: Well, one's an Indian head.
- Ray Charles: [singing] Ohh mama, don't you treat me wrong, Come and love your daddy all night long, All right, all right, all right, yeah, Well, all right, all right, When you see me in misery, Come on, baby, see about me now, Well, all right, good God, all right, yeah, All right, all right now...
- Bobby Vee: [singing] Whoa-oh, yay-yay, Love you more than I can say, I'll love you twice as much tomorrow, Whoa-whoa, love you more than I can say...
