Quotes
-
Betty Lou Biggs : [blonde bombshell in very revealing low-cut red dress] Mr. Meyerson! Oh!
Ted Meyerson : [as he shakes her hand] Well, who do we have here?
Betty Lou Biggs : Betty Lou Biggs, I'm a contestant.
Ted Meyerson : Of course. How are you, Betty Lou?
Dana Barclay : Betty Lou, you're early. You're supposed to arrive tomorrow with the other girls.
Betty Lou Biggs : I couldn't wait.
[breathless:]
Betty Lou Biggs : I was too excited.
Dana Barclay : But we don't have a *room* for you.
Ted Meyerson : Get one!
[takes Cheryl by the arm]
Ted Meyerson : This way, Miss Dixie Belle.
Dana Barclay : This way, Betty Lou.
[drags her off]
Ted Meyerson : [to Cheryl] Your suite's next to mine. You ready for tonight?
Cheryl Williams : I'm always ready, Teddy.
[strokes his lapel with her elegant finger]

Sonny Carlisle : Hi.
[lame pick-up line:]
Sonny Carlisle : I'll bet, uh, you move very well.
Betty Lou Biggs : I'm afraid I'm not a very good dancer, Mr. Carlisle.
Sonny Carlisle : Oh, that doesn't matter. Maybe we could do a number together.
Betty Lou Biggs : I think you're doing one on me right now.
Sonny Carlisle : [chuckles] You know, you're pretty sharp, that's cute!
[his hand on her bare shoulder]
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : [arrives, interrupts] Sonny, that's a beautiful ring. You... you get this through the pageant?
Sonny Carlisle : Yeah, yeah, Ted gives them out. I got one for every finger.
Betty Lou Biggs : Hi, Mr. Lawton.
[much fluttering of eyelashes]
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : [playing the big movie star] Hello.
Sonny Carlisle : Well, you'll excuse me, won't you? I can see that you're partial to judges.
Betty Lou Biggs : [as Sonny walks away] Creep. Thank you for interrupting.
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : Well, the rules clearly say "no messing with the girls."
Betty Lou Biggs : Not in public, anyway. I'd love to talk to you about acting. Maybe... uh, tonight after curfew, you and I could do an improvisation together? I'm in Room 8 - 25.
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : Uh, you see, the rules also state that no one is to enter a contestant's room without proper authorization. And there is a, uh... security chaperone at every comtestant's door.
Betty Lou Biggs : Not every judges'.
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : Well, uh, that's a good point.
-
Betty Lou Biggs : Mr. Meyerson, I am *so* sorry.
Ted Meyerson : We are all upset, Betty Lou.
Betty Lou Biggs : Who could have done such an evil thing?
Ted Meyerson : Well, that's exactly what Sergeant...
[turns to Rita]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Lance.
Ted Meyerson : ...Lance is here to find out, and don't you worry,
[holds her hand]
Ted Meyerson : everything is under control, we've doubled security, and I'm sure the police...
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : You're going on with the contest?
Ted Meyerson : This is not a contest, Sergeant. It's a pageant. It's steeped in tradition. We must continue.
[Betty smiles and Rita nods]
Ted Meyerson : We've got television coverage, sponsors who have bought time, and a lot of money at stake. *My* money.
Betty Lou Biggs : It's too late to cancel the pageant anyway. The girls are here.
Dana Barclay : [wearily] They are?
Betty Lou Biggs : Some of the girls just began arriving...
Dana Barclay : Excuse me...
[rushes off]
Ted Meyerson : You have to excuse me, Sergeant, I have the flower of Dixie beauty to attend to.
[Betty Lou stares attentively after him]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Guess we know what the priorities are.
[Betty Lou still stands at rapt attention for Meyerson]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Uh... Betty Lou, right?
Betty Lou Biggs : Yes.
[smiles]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Uh... do you know Cheryl Williams?
Betty Lou Biggs : [shakes her head] No, Sergeant, I saw her briefly in the lobby last night when I arrived.
[shakes her head]
Betty Lou Biggs : She was such a stunning girl.
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Right, yeah...
[with faked enthusiasm]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : I *love* the color of your hair.
Betty Lou Biggs : Well, thanks.
[big smile, preens]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : [faked interest] Do you do it yourself?
Betty Lou Biggs : Uh, no. It's all natural. What you see is what you get.
[chuckles coyly]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Yeah...
[fakes big grin]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : I'll bet.

Geno : [grabs her by the arm] I waited after rehearsal. I thought we were gonna do a private session.
Betty Lou Biggs : Move off, Geno! You couldn't get lucky in a cathouse
[shakes him off]
Betty Lou Biggs : with a fistful of fifties!
-
Betty Lou Biggs : [dress fitting] Can't this come down a little more?
Dana Barclay : [exasperated] Betty Lou, I've already told you. Bust lines have to be uniform. Nobody gets an unfair advantage.
Betty Lou Biggs : [admires herself in the mirror] I was born with an unfair advantage.
[adjusts bust line]
Betty Lou Biggs : If you've got it... Flaunt it!
-
Betty Lou Biggs : [surprised Chris in the shower] You wash my back, I'll wash yours.
[wet T-shirt gets even wetter]
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : Betty Lou...
[tries to show he's a decent man]
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : I like you, you know that, don't you?
Betty Lou Biggs : Oh, I like you too, baby.
[chuckles]
Betty Lou Biggs : I like you a lot.
[puts her arms around his neck]
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : But, look, we can't... we can't do this...
[shakes his head]
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : can't have it...
Betty Lou Biggs : Are you turning me down?
Sgt. Chris Lorenzo : No, I'm not turning you down... Look, I'm putting you on hold till after the contest.
