Sherry Martin: [singing] As you listen to the band don't you get a bubble? As you listen to them play don't you get a glow? If you step out on the floor you'll forget your trouble. If you go into your dance you'll forget your woe. So come get together. Let the dance floor feel your leather. Step as lightly as a feather. Let yourself go. Come hit the timber. Loosen up and start to limber. Can't you hear that hot marimba? Let yourself go. Let yourself go. Relax. And let yourself go. Relax. You've got yourself tied up in a knot. The night is cold but the music's hot. So come cuddle closer. Don't you dare to answer "No, sir". Butcher, banker, clerk and grocer. Let yourself go.

Sherry Martin: [singing] I'm putting all my eggs in one basket. I'm betting everything I've got on you. I'm giving all my love to one baby. Heaven help me if my baby don't come through. I've tried to love more than one, finding it just can't be done. Honey, there's one I lie to when I try to be true to two. So I'm putting all my eggs in one basket. I'm betting everything I've got on you.

Sherry Martin: Things have got to be dolled up nowadays. That's why they put brass on battleships. Look, why don't you let me try to fix you up? You'll be amazed how much better it'll make you feel.
Connie Martin: Even though I'm not a blond, I could be dumb couldn't I?
Sherry Martin: And you'll probably do all right too! It takes a lot of brains to be dumb.

Bake Baker: As you said -- marriage would have ruined your career.
Sherry Martin: Well, I found out I was wrong.
Bake Baker: Maybe you were right. If you'd have married me, you wouldn't be working in a chop suey joint like this.
Sherry Martin: Well, I don't see any Admiral stripes on you!

Connie Martin: It used to end up by my saying I'd be a sister to them. Now it begins by their saying they'll be a brother to me.
Sherry Martin: That's the difference between us. I make them say uncle.
