Quotes
-
Teddy Winter : How about my room?
Ruth Granberg : [disguised as Rudolph, the page boy] Let's see. You're staying in number 13.
Teddy Winter : 13? Are you mad? All actors are superstitious. Knock on wood, black cat on the road.
Ruth Granberg : I see. Then how about number 6, Mr. Winter?
Teddy Winter : Splendid. I've always been lucky in number 6.
Eva Sommer : And I'm staying in number 7.
Teddy Winter : Excellent. 7 means good luck.
Ruth Granberg : But 6 and 7 together still means bad luck.

Ornitologen : I have the impression that the young lady knows who I am.
Poppe : Yes. Of course she does.
Ornitologen : But, I don't know her.
Poppe : Now, you must be joking.
Ornitologen : Oh, I know. She must be one of my old students.
Poppe : Yes. Yes, I'm sure you have educated lots of young ladies over the years.

Poppe : Don't tell me that you don't know the actress Eva Sommer.
Ornitologen : Oh?

Ornitologen : Really? She washes up on the backside? Every Wednesday?

Ornitologen : Is it me who's gone mad?
Poppe : Oh, no. Everyone has gone mad. At least I have.

Eva Sommer : The sky is beautiful out there!
Ornitologen : Yes, typical strato-cumulus clouds of this season. Personally, I prefer cirro-cumulus clouds.

Doktor Grå : Is that you, my friend? Would you like a nightcap?
Ornitologen : Firstly, we're not acquainted, sir. Secondly, you are not my friend. And thirdly, I don't want a nightcap. Especially since I have to spend the night out here. Do not interrupt my nocturnal discussion with this woman.
Doktor Grå : A severe case of neuritoca idiotis.

Ornitologen : Oh, my God.
Mona Miller : Am I dreaming? Oh, darling.
Ornitologen : Pardon?
Mona Miller : Darling.
Ornitologen : Darling? Who are you and what are you doing here in my bed?
Mona Miller : Your bed? But, my dear...
Ornitologen : I'm not your dear anything.
Mona Miller : No? With all that's between us?
Ornitologen : There is nothing between us.
Mona Miller : Have you come here to insult me?
Ornitologen : No, to sleep!
Mona Miller : Yes, with me?
Ornitologen : No, alone, if you don't mind.

Teddy Winter : It looks like a postcard.
Eva Sommer : How unromantic.
Teddy Winter : Postcards are nice. Especially with Xs and "Home, sweet home." But you are nicer than any postcard. Your smile's like a weather forecast. Fair weather, gentle breeze, a bit of snow on exposed regions
[brushes some snow off Eva's chest, Eva laughs]

Teddy Winter : Poppe, are you married?
Poppe : Are you proposing? No. I'm footloose and fancy-free.

Poppe : Yes, she must be.
