• Aunt Amarilla : Right now we will have lunch, as only Gaston can prepare it.

  Yolanda Aquaviva : I am hungry.

  Aunt Amarilla : Good. I've planned something a little special. Fresh caviar, which was flown here from Russia, avocados flown here from California, and roast pheasants - they fly here themselves.

• Aunt Amarilla : You have the largest, most modern stables in the entire country. Do you like horses?

  Yolanda Aquaviva : Oh yes, I do.

  Aunt Amarilla : Fine, we must buy a horse.

• Yolanda Aquaviva : Mr. Brown doesn't dance... except, perhaps, on the head of a pin.

  Aunt Amarilla : Oh, I should like to see that.

• Johnny Parkson Riggs : You didn't tell anybody I was your guardian angel, did you?

  Yolanda Aquaviva : Not exactly. All I said was that you weren't a real man. My aunt doesn't believe me.

  Johnny Parkson Riggs : I'm glad of that. I'd rather it didn't get around.

• Yolanda Aquaviva : [singing]  This angel is an angel, Who protects me and brings, Heavenly, heavenly things...

• Duenna : [on the telephone]  I'm sorry, Miss Yolanda's not at home.

  Yolanda Aquaviva : Wait, please! You said that I wasn't home?

  Duenna : Yes?

  Yolanda Aquaviva : But I'm right here.

  Duenna : But, this is a man.

  Yolanda Aquaviva : No, please, there's one thing I've wanted for so long - - - to talk on a telephone.

• Johnny Parkson Riggs : You have trouble about money. I shall relieve you of it - the trouble I mean. But, I must have absolute, unquestioning obedience.

  Yolanda Aquaviva : Oh, I shall do whatever you tell me.

• Yolanda Aquaviva : [singing]  Let the band begin, Playing Lohengrin, Take me to you, I'll be true you, Wait and see, Across the funny little doorstep, Come and carry me, Honey, marry me...

• Yolanda Aquaviva : [singing]  Will you be my spouse? Will you plan a lovely house?

• [last lines] 

  Yolanda Aquaviva : I don't understand. It's impossible. But, it is - rather sweet.

• Yolanda Aquaviva : Mr. Brown, this is my aunt.

  Johnny Parkson Riggs : Aunt? Why, you mean your sister.

  Aunt Amarilla : Oh, Mr. Brown, you're an angel.

  Johnny Parkson Riggs : Yes, didn't you know?

• Yolanda Aquaviva : Oh, no, I'm afraid Mr. Brown wouldn't be interested in that sort of thing, would you?

  Johnny Parkson Riggs : No, nothing interests me less than worldly goods.

• Aunt Amarilla : Is he here?

  Yolanda Aquaviva : Yes and no.

  Aunt Amarilla : How can a man be here and not be here?

• Yolanda Aquaviva : [Telling Mr. Brown she has a surprise for him, and as the Footman unveils a huge harp]  Something to remind you of home.

• Yolanda Aquaviva : I wouldn't try to stop Mr. Brown. If we wishes to enter this house, nothing can stop him - no walls, no doors, no, no locks, nothing.

  Aunt Amarilla : Oh, one of those, is he? Well, I know how to deal with him.
