  Lola Livingston : Beat it, crumb.

  Gilbert Wooley : The heck you aren't. You're beautiful. I can understand now why Marlon Brando dug this place.

  Kimi Sikita : He has much courage.

  Gilbert Wooley : Yeah, he sounds like he's got a lot of guts.

• Gilbert Wooley : [at a public bathhouse]  No wonder the Japanese men are so clean. All the women walk around looking like Brigitte Bardot.

• Gilbert Wooley : Nothing doing. Not after being in that hot bathhouse with all those girls running around without clothes. Now you want to take me into a Geisha house? Are you sure you're only six years old?

• Mr. Sikita : Geisha.

  Gilbert Wooley : Yeah, I know what "Geisha" means. Geishas are girls and they are trained to entertain tired Japanese businessmen. Tired I am. Japanese I'm not. And a businessman I ain't either.

• Gilbert Wooley : Don't throw your chairs away. That sitting on the floor is murder.
