Mario Manetta: You know your trouble? I'll tell you... You're not satisfied to be just getting along like everybody else. You want to be a millionaire. You want to live on Easy Street. Easy Street! I'll tell you who lives on Easy Street -- nobody! You want to make a million over night. Well it doesn't happen that way. I worked hard all my life -- 14 hours a day -- and made a good living. I never took a vacation in my whole life -- and I'm proud of it!

Tony Manetta: I got imagination. You got no imagination.
Mario Manetta: You got imagination?

Mario Manetta: I haven't got any?
Tony Manetta: None.
Mario Manetta: You got it and you're poor!
Tony Manetta: No, no, no. Broke many times, but never poor! You would never understand that.

Sophie Manetta: The poor things... they're so happy and so poor.
Mario Manetta: No, Sophie. Broke, yes, but they're not poor. We're poor. Come on, you'll cry later. The meter's running... the meter's running... what do I care if the meter's running? I could buy you and a hundred meters! Come on, let's take a vacation!

Lorelei Lee: It's true.
Esmond Sr.: Then what do you want to marry him for?

Lorelei Lee: Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?

D. B. Norton: You'll play your cards right and you'll never have to worry about money again.

Fred Derry: You know what it'll be, don't you, Peggy? It may take us years to get anywhere. We'll have no money, no decent place to live. We'll have to work, get kicked around.

Beverly Boyer: What ever happened to my rights as a woman?
Dr. Gerald Boyer: I'll tell you what happened to them. They grew and grew until they suffocated my rights as a man. Whoever said all men are created equal didn't anticipate a woman making $100,000 a year and spenidng it on swimming pools!

Mrs. Random: Is that all you know about him?
Susan Vance: No, I know that I'm going to marry him. He doesn't know it, but I am.
Mrs. Random: Now seee here, if you're planning to marry him on my money you're very much mistaken. I don't want another lunatic in the family. I've got lunatics enough already.
