Quotes 

• Angie Duke : [singing]  Are we dancing, are we really here? Is this feeling something real, or will it disappear? Are we dancing, does the music soar? Was this lovely song I hear, ever heard before? Are your eyes confessing things I alone can see? Or is my imagination flying away with me? Are we dancing? Say, we really are! Then I'll know that I, reached into the sky, I reached into the sky, and touched a star!

• Angie Duke : Cordy, you and I are going to elope!

  Mrs. Duke : Over my dead body!

  Angie Duke : Only if absolutely necessary, Mother.

• Angie Duke : [singing]  There's a shining city, west of here, where dreams are booming into gear... It's no humdrum nine-to-five town; it's a growing, going, bright-alive town! Golden sparks light up the skies there, like a thousand Fourth-of-Julys there! How I want to stake a claim in, roll my sleeves and make a name in... Detroit!

  Miss Cordelia Biddle : Detroit?

  Angie Duke : Michigan!

  [sings] 

  Angie Duke : You can hear it humming, see it coming, feel it everywhere you go! It's tomorrow morning, the future dawning with a bright and shining glow! It's a land where golden chariots are molded out of dreams... Detroit! Detroit! Detroit! Detroit! It's Detroit!

• Miss Cordelia Biddle : Oh, no, I'm not getting married!

  [runs out of room] 

  Angie Duke : Then I'm not either!

• Angie Duke : I don't like these pushy girls who think they can trap any man with a big act.

  Miss Cordelia Biddle : But you saw me practicing. Didn't that scare you away?

  Angie Duke : No. You were so bad at it.

• Miss Cordelia Biddle : [a waltz starts]  Oh, it's a waltz. The waltz is for old people.

  Angie Duke : Oh is it?

  [he pulls Cordy into the dance; they sweep elegantly across the floor and end up on the balcony] 

  Angie Duke : I don't think the waltz is for old people.

  Miss Cordelia Biddle : I was just saying something somebody told me.
