- Stanley Owen: Christine, what happened to your face? Why you look so horrible ?
- Christine Evans: What ? Oh that's because I'm not dressed yet that's all. All girls look like this before they're dressed.
- Stanley Owen: They do? Christine, I think that's deceitful
- Yvette Baranga: Bon soir Stanley.
- Stanley Owen: Yvette, before you are dressed, do you look horrible?
- Stanley Owen: Mr Iturbi, you had lot of experience with women, isn't it?
- José Iturbi: Well... yes.
- Stanley Owen: What's the answer ?
- José Iturbi: When I don't know what to do, I play the Piano
- Stanley Owen: But... I don't know how to play Piano.
- José Iturbi: Tch Tch... my boy, you are in trouble.
- Christine Evans: [to the embassy household staff] Now, just remember what father says - a well-organized household is distinguished by its unity.
- Yvette Baranga: [With some other young ladies] The American ambassador. Is he not the most handsome man I've ever seen?
- Jeffrey Evans: Hey, uh, when did I make that speech about the well-organized household?
- Christine Evans: Well, you might have at one time or another.
- Jeffrey Evans: Don't you see, darling? You have your own place in my heart - a place no one else can fill. I think you know that, don't you?
- Christine Evans: Well, you're just getting too good, your excellency. I may have to start looking for an ambassador who'll need me more than you do.
- Jeffrey Evans: You'll never find one, darling.
- Baranga: You excellency, madame and I are very disappointed, aren't we, darling?
- Mme. Baranga: Yes, m...
- Baranga: Shaddup!
- [to Evans]
- Baranga: You're obviously not worthy of our daughter. And I would appreciate your considering my being here, not being here at all. Goodbye!
- Jeffrey Evans: Is Stanley pretty upset over your going?
- Christine Evans: Yes.
- Jeffrey Evans: Well, you've hurt him a lot lately - once more won't kill him.
- Christine Evans: But I never meant to hurt his feelings.
- Jeffrey Evans: You know, uh, if you hurt someone, it doesn't matter very much whether you meant to or not.
- Xavier Cugat: I beg you to excuse me, but, uh, when I am away my musicians play like... like the cat when the mouse has run away. Except for what they play is not music.
- Jeffrey Evans: I'll tell you why you're running away - because you're embarrassed. You can't bear the idea of having to face Mr. Iturbi again... or me... or even Stanley. Because you, well, you uh, you've made a fool of yourself. And, as a matter of fact, darling, you have.
- Christine Evans: Father, I thought you'd be more understanding.
- Jeffrey Evans: Would it be more understanding if I pretended you hadn't made a fool of yourself -- when we both know you have? Remember this, darling. Everyone... everyone makes a fool of himself at one time or another - many times.
- Christine Evans: Nothing turns out the way one expects, does it?
- José Iturbi: Often it's because one expects the wrong thing.
- Jeffrey Evans: Because my love for you isn't something that's, that's just handed to you for good behavior. It's yours for keeps.
- Countess Toni Karpathy: Oh, I can imagine - a little plump, a little bald.
- Xavier Cugat: Oh, no, no, no. He's one of the handsomest men I have ever seen. In fact, he's even better looking than I am.
