Duke E. Gifford: How's the picture?
Lt. Larry: Oh, all right I guess, sir... the things those Hollywood guys can do with a submarine.

Alma Brown: I go in for those prize contests. "How Shinette shampoo changed my life" in 20 words or less. They give free trips to Europe but I end up with the fountain pens and the Japanese binoculars.

Helen: What about the rest of the world?
Tom: I don't care about the rest of the world!
[Seeing her shocked expression]
Tom: You'll feel different when you read about me in the papers.
Helen: I feel different now.

Joan Ross: [to Mike] Well, the next time you're near Richmond, Indiana there's a little drug store there. It's practically the whole town. Well, drop in and tell them that the last time you saw me... the little girl is doing great. Just great.

Joan Ross: I'm with those people over there. They're much duller than you are. But they got far better manners so I have to lie like the dickens. Especially that one guy! He's the captain. He thinks he is a mate of mine. You know the kind. So I have to be nice to him. Darling, can you wait two minutes?
Mike Kells: Yup.
Joan Ross: Well... I hardly can. I'm going to, darling.
[Joan leans in and passionately kisses Mike. Her cleavage shows]
Joan Ross: [scene changes to a waiter looking through some curtains at Joan and Mike. He has an astonished expression, and as he brushes his hair back with his hand his toupee falls back]

Joan Ross: When I started this crazy tour the last thing I was looking for was a man. Why I should pick on you, I don't know. After I know you better I may not like you. But I kept thinking about you and started looking for you. I phoned all over and Tony Bennis from the Paris embassy found out for me that you has come here. Michael, it's was exactly 11:45 a few days ago when you left me. What time is it now? Check both watches.
Mike Kells: Well, it's exactly 11:37.
Joan Ross: Do we resume? Heaven bless 11:37. I don't.
Mike Kells: , I'd like nothing better in the world, but right now I'm sort of... I... I... I'm... tied...
Joan Ross: All right, I'm gonna lay my cards on the table. Michael, tell me the truth. Are you with someone?
Mike Kells: [showing a photo of a woman] No. No, I'm chasing her. My dream girl.
Joan Ross: Can't be helped. Can't be helped, can it? I apologize to you Michael. I'm truly sorry.
Mike Kells: No, no, no. I'm only kidding about her. I'm only doing this for an acquaintance of a friend of mine. I promised to look her up and see about her.
Joan Ross: Do you have to see about her tonight?
Mike Kells: It doesn't look as though I can tonight.
Joan Ross: [leaning in] Darling! Let's explore Triste together!

Joan Ross: You started by arousing the mother instinct in me, and now you got the whole works worked up. And you got something stirred up.

Lt. Larry: [finding themselves in the middle of the entire Imperial Japanese fleet] I'll never make fun of another movie as long as I live.
