Barbara Barry: [singing] My boss Mr. Cupid told me to make hearts loop the loop, never ever to sing about the Good Ship Lollipop or animal crackers in my soup.

Barbara Barry: Ach, mein gootness!

Barbara Barry: Daddy, marry me and let me be your wife!

Barbara Barry: Didn't he like what we did?
Jimmy Dolan: Sure he did. I guess he's just going in the next room to applaud.
Barbara Barry: But you said we were good.
Jerry Dolan: Never pay any attention to what he says.

Barbara Barry: Do you know to play piggyback?
Simon Peck: No, I don't think I do.
Barbara Barry: Oh, it's easy. Stand up. Now turn around.
Simon Peck: Like this?
Barbara Barry: Now I put my arms around your neck, and you go like this, "Ride a cock to Banbury Cross to see a fine lady upon a white horse. Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, she shall have music wherever she goes!" You run around and around while you sing it. Take my legs.
Simon Peck: [running and singing] Ride a cockhorse to Banbury Cross, to see a fine lady upon a white horse!
[a man enters his office]
Simon Peck: You get out! Can't you see I'm in conference?
[He continues running and singing]
Simon Peck: Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes...
Barbara Barry: Woah!
Simon Peck: What?
Barbara Barry: Do you always tell people to get out?
Simon Peck: I do when I'm engaged in important business!

Barbara Barry: I didn't think I was gonna like you at first, but I like you now.
Simon Peck: You do?
Barbara Barry: Yes, your eyebrows are so nice and ragged.

Barbara Barry: It's Tony the organ grinder! And his monkey! I know who you are, you're Tony.
Tony: Dat's a-right. Antonio's my middle name.
Barbara Barry: I'm on a vacation. Do you want to come along?
Tony: You a very nice-a little bambina. You go home-a to your mama, eh?
Barbara Barry: I have no mama.
Tony: Oh, dat's-a too bad. Den go home-a to your papa. Hey, what's your name-a?
Barbara Barry: Betsy Weir. I used to live in an orphanage, but they were mean to me, awfully mean, and now I'm on a vacation to see new faces. Your face doesn't look very new.
Tony: Well, it's a-good enough for me.

Barbara Barry: Why do you want me to go? You're all alone, and I'm not doing anything, either. Tell me a story.
Simon Peck: I don't know any stories.
Barbara Barry: You know, you remind me of old Mr. Spindleshanks. He's the old grouch in the Betsy Weir stories who helps Betsy when she's hungry...
Simon Peck: Hungry? You aren't hungry, are you?
Barbara Barry: No, I just had lunch, and I did something bad, too.
Simon Peck: What did you do?
Barbara Barry: Well, we had spinach, and while Jimmy wasn't looking, I put mine on his plate!
Simon Peck: You should've eaten your spinach. It's good for you.
Barbara Barry: So I've heard.
Simon Peck: Where are you going?
Barbara Barry: I'm going to get along.
Simon Peck: Why?
Barbara Barry: You said for me to.
Simon Peck: I never said anything of the sort. All I said was that spinach was good for you.

Barbara Barry: Will you read to me from this?
Woodward: All right. Which one is it to be?
Barbara Barry: It's the one where Betsy runs away from the orphan asylum and meets Tony the organ grinder and his monkey.
Woodward: [reading] "Betsy Weir was two years old when her mother died. Because the family was poor, Betsy couldn't stay at home, so she was sent to an orphan asylum."
Barbara Barry: Which was an ugly red brick building far, far away from where Betsy used to live.
Woodward: Yes, from where Betsy used to live. "Then a young man came dancing around the corner in a green coat and bumped right into her. 'Excuse me,' said the young man. 'I'm always bumping into people. That's why they call me Puddin'-Head.'"

Dan Ward: This client of mine, the one I was telling you about...
Jimmy Dolan: Yes?
Dan Ward: He wants to see you this afternoon.
Barbara Barry: We're good!
Jimmy Dolan, Barbara Barry: [singing] We're good, we're good!
Dan Ward: Can you be there at three?
Jimmy Dolan: Can we be there at three?
Jerry Dolan: Can we be there at three?
Barbara Barry: We'll be there at five minutes to three!
