• Johnnie : Hello Monkeyface!

• [Lina starts to button her blouse] 

  Johnnie : Don't do that.

  Lina : Why not?

  Johnnie : That.

  Lina : You don't need to touch it.

• Johnnie : If you're going to kill someone, do it simply.

• [first lines] 

  Johnnie : Oh, I beg your pardon. Was that your leg? I had no idea we were going into a tunnel. I thought the compartment was empty.

• Johnnie : Your hair's all wrong. It has such wonderful possibilities that I, well, I got excited. For the moment I became a, a passionate hairdresser.

• Johnnie : [to Lina]  I think I'm falling in love with you, and I don't quite like it.

• [Lina asks Johnnie how he intends to support them] 

  Johnnie : Well, if the worst comes to the worst and there's no other way out, I'll have to...

  Johnnie : Borrow some more.

  Johnnie : Monkeyface, I've been broke all my life.

• Johnnie : What do you think of me by contrast to your horse?

  Lina : If I ever got the bit between your teeth, I'd have no trouble in handling you at all.

• Johnnie : You thought I was going to kiss you, didn't you?

  Lina : Weren't you?

  Johnnie : Of course not. I was merely reaching around you, trying to fix your hair.

  Lina : What's wrong with my hair?

  Johnnie : Well, I'm glad you asked me that. It would've been extremely discourteous for me to bring the subject up.

• Photographer : I wonder if I could have just a little bit more of your smile?

  Johnnie : Oh, now, not at this hour of the morning.

• Lina : Are you courting me?

  Johnnie : I'm afraid I am.

  Lina : This is a wonderful moment.

• [Johnnie and Lina are facing a large portrait of her father] 

  Johnnie : He doesn't like me.

  Lina : I know.

  Johnnie : He doesn't trust me from here to there.

  Johnnie : [speaking to the portrait]  Do you? Well, you're right. I can only bring her unhappiness. Well, warn her. Speak up, man. It's your last chance.

  Johnnie : [to Lina]  Hear him?

  Lina : Very distinctly.

  Johnnie : He's not exaggerating a thing, dear. It's all true, every word he isn't saying.

  Lina : I love him, father.

  Johnnie : Did you see him jump?

  Lina : I did.

  Johnnie : Well, watch this one.

  Johnnie : [speaking to the portrait]  Sir, I have the honor of asking for your daughter's hand in marriage. Well, what do you say to that?

  Johnnie : [tapping on the portrait which then falls off the wall]  My oh my. You heard him that time, didn't you?

• Johnnie : Do you hear the music?

  Lina : Very clearly.

  Johnnie : Well, let's dance, before I... Before we...

  Lina : Let's dance.

• Lina : Why are you frank with me, because I'm... different?

  Johnnie : No, no, it isn't that. I'm honest because with you I think it's the best way to get results.

• Johnnie : Come on, darling, smile. I know I've been naughty, but it's all for you.

• Johnnie : Darling, you're not shivering, are you?

  Lina : I have a bit of a chill.

  Johnnie : Cold in all this sunshine? Well, let me warm you up. My poor little shivering baby. How do you feel now? Better?

  Lina : Much.

  Johnnie : Good. Perhaps this will help.

  [Johnnie takes Lina and kisses her passionately] 

• Lina : If I'd only understood. Oh, Johnnie. But it will be different now. We'll make it different.

  Johnnie : People don't change overnight, Lina. I'm no good.

• Johnnie : This reminds me of the day we first met on the top of the hill when you wouldn't let me unbutton the top button of your blouse. Do you remember?

  Lina : I shall never forget it.

  Johnnie : Well, get undressed, old girl. What are you waiting for?

• Johnnie : What have we to drink in the house?

  Ethel : Gin, brandy, champagne and Pimm's No.1, sir.

  Johnnie : Well, bring them all, Ethel, and get a move on.

• Lina : There's going to be no more borrowing.

  Johnnie : What else is there to do?

  Lina : You've got to go to work.

  Johnnie : Work?

• Johnnie : I'm broad-minded.

• Johnnie : Goodnight, Lina.
