- Sherry Martin: Look, why don't you let me try to fix you up? You'll be amazed how much better it will make you feel.
- Connie Martin: Even though I'm not a blonde, I could be dumb, couldn't I?
- Sherry Martin: And you'll probably do all right too. It takes a lot of brains to be dumb.
- Bake Baker: Let's kiss and make up.
- Sherry Martin: No, let's just make up. That'll give you something to work for.
- [Bake pays only for himself]
- Cashier: Don'tcha friends dance?
- Bake Baker: Nah. They're underage. I hold 'em on my lap.
- Bake Baker: Sherry tells me you're leaving. Well, that's probably the wisest thing to do. Run away! All this stuff about fighting for your man and all that makes things so complicated. Now, if all girls would just give up and run back to Bellport, then we'd definitely see the end of family life, little Junior would remain just an idea, and every man would burn his own toast. I thank you!
- Bilge Smith: Boy, I hope I pick something good this time. I'm always getting school teachers.
- Bake Baker: Why not? You've got a lot to learn yet.
- Sherry Martin: Honey, why don't you admit it, you're lonesome. Some men aren't half bad.
- Connie Martin: I don't know why? I just seem to frighten them away.
- Sherry Martin: You look too darn intelligent. You know, it isn't that gentlemen really prefer blondes, it's just that we look dumber.
- Kitty Collins: [to sailor trying to hit on her] Tell me, little boy, did you get a whistle or baseball bat with that suit?
- Bake Baker: [singing] We joined the Navy to see the girls, And what did we see? We saw the sea, Instead of a girl or two in a taxi, We were compelled to look at the Black Sea, Seeing the Black Sea isn't what it's cracked up to be...
- Sherry Martin: [singing] Come, Get together, Let the dance floor feel your leather, Step as lightly as a feather, Let yourself go...
- Connie Martin: All right, sailor, I surrender.
- Bilge Smith: Unconditionally?
- Connie Martin: Well, I'm willing to discuss terms.
- Bilge Smith: Okay, baby, let's get outta here. Let's find someplace where we can - talk.
- Bake Baker: [about Bilge] He's stuck on that Iris Manning. Say, what's she like?
- Sherry Martin: Anything in a uniform.
- Connie Martin: Kitty, there's a sailor I want to meet. How do I go about it?
- Kitty Collins: Are you kidding?
- Connie Martin: No. I mean, are there any rules?
- Kitty Collins: Well, yes and no. Yes before you meet him and no after.
- Sherry Martin: Well, I don't see any Admiral stripes on you!
- Bake Baker: I like to go incognito just to mingle with the boys.
- Mrs. Iris Manning: Tell me, are there any other women in your life?
- Bake Baker: No, you're the first.
- Mrs. Iris Manning: You've made me so happy.
- Navy Band: [First lines]
- [singing]
- Navy Band: We joined the Navy to see the world, And what did we see? We saw the sea
- Bake Baker: [singing] We saw the Pacific and the Atlantic, But the Atlantic isn't romantic, And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be...
- Sherry Martin: I make 'em say uncle.
- Connie Martin: Well, I can understand that, you're attractive.
- Sherry Martin: Connie, women weren't born with silk stockings on, you know.
- Connie Martin: Gee, you must look lovely in this.
- Sherry Martin: And so could you, if you wanted to. Things have got to be dolled up nowadays.
- Sherry Martin: [singing] Let yourself go, Relax, And let yourself go, Relax, You've got yourself tied up in a knot, The night is cold but the music's hot, So, Come, Cuddle closer, Don't you dare to answer "No, sir"...
- Bake Baker: Maybe you were right. If you'd a married me, you wouldn't be working in a Chop Suey joint like this.
- Bake Baker: Gosh, Sherry, how'd you ever get in a place like this?
- Sherry Martin: Well, it seems I didn't mean much after we split up. For some reason or another, they're not interested in a girl dancing alone, unless she's got a fan.
- Bake Baker: Well, a fan doesn't cost much.
- Bilge Smith: Hi ya, baby.
- Connie Martin: Hello, sailor.
- Bilge Smith: So, you know my name.
- Connie Martin: Haven't we met before?
- Bilge Smith: That's what I should have said.
- Connie Martin: [singing] Get thee behind me, Satan, I want to resist, But the moon is low and I can't say "no", Get thee behind me...
- Connie Martin: [after a long embrace and kiss] Kinda takes my wind out of my sails.
- Bilge Smith: There aren't any sails these days, baby. Just steam. Full steam ahead!
- Bake Baker: All right. Let's see if you can remember what I told you. Now, eh, you fellas, get over there. You're the dames. Well you asked me to teach you how to dance didn't ya? All right, then you're dames. And you fellas are their partners. All right, music. Now, get together. Come on, get together. Get together. 1-2-3. 1-2-3. 1-2-3. 1-2-3. 1-2-3. 1-2-3. Don't be bashful. Grab 'em tight.
- Bake Baker: You might as well know, that whole thing with Iris Manning last night was just a gag.
- Bilge Smith: What?
- Bake Baker: Yeah, I framed you to show you that while you were running around with that bottle of peroxide you were passing up a girl you were really nuts about.
- Bake Baker: [singing] There may be trouble ahead, But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance, Let's face the music and dance...
- Sherry Martin: [singing] Come, cuddle closer. Don't you dare to answer no, sir. Butcher, baker, clerk and grocer. Let yourself go.
- Sherry Martin: [singing] I'm putting all my eggs in one basket. I'm betting everything I've got on you.
- Sherry Martin: [singing] Come, hit the timber. Loosen up and start to limber. Can't you hear that hot marimba? Let yourself go.
- Bake Baker: [singing] There may be teardrops to shed. So while there's moonlight and music, and love and romance, let's face the music and dance.
- Bake Baker: [singing] I'm putting all my eggs in one basket. I'm betting everything I've got on you.
- Bake Baker: [singing] Before the fiddlers have fled, before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have the chance, let's face the music and dance.
- Bake Baker: [singing] I've got a great big amount, saved up in my love account, honey, and I've decided. Love divided in two, won't do.
- Sherry Martin: [singing] I've tried to love more than one, finding it just can't be done. Honey, there's one I lie to, when I try to be true to two.
