Emile de Becque:
What makes her talk like that - you and she? I do not believe it is born in you! I do not believe it!
Lt. Cable: It's not born in you - it happens after you're born!
Lt. Cable: It's not born in you - it happens after you're born!

Capt. George Brackett: [fuming] Cable, it is a common mistake for boys of your age and athletic ability to underestimate men who have reached their maturity. Young women frequently find older men attractive, strange as it may seem. I myself am over fifty. I am a bachelor. And Cable, I do not, by any means, consider myself th-r-rough.

Nellie: (singing)
I'm as corny as Kansas in August /
I'm as normal as blueberry pie. /
No more a smart little girl with no heart /
I have found me a wonderful guy!

Nellie: (singing)
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair / I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair / I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair / And send him on his way.

(as Ensign Nellie Forbush, USN)
Nellie: (singing)
If a man don't understand you / If you fly on separate beams / Waste no time, make a change / Ride that man right off your range. / Rub him out of the roll call /And drum him out of your dreams!
