Quotes 

• Plinio : I'm spending a fortune to redecorate this place so I can reopen in time for Carnival. To get my investment back I need an attraction, a real attraction. I need someone with a name!

  Oscar Farrar : Whaddya think my mother gave me, a number?

• Plinio : Listen, honeybunch, if you use a name like Georgia Garrett and sang like an angel even, I could still shoot llamas in the balcony.

• Plinio : She not only sounds good, she looks good.

• Plinio : It's no accident that I happen to have the contract right here with me.

• Plinio : I knew you would be offended, but it's a good prospect - a thousand dollars a week.

  Georgia Garrett : [as Elvira Kent]  A thousand bucks?... dollars, for me?

  Plinio : Of course, it's obviously nothing for a lady in your position; but, uh, if I said a thousand, I can say twenty-five hundred.

  Georgia Garrett : Are you kidding?

  Plinio : Once you say twenty-five hundred, it's not difficult to say five thousand. After you pay your taxes here and in the United States, it would cost you very little.
