- Helen Elgin: Terrific.

- Jaime Sommers: Oscar look, before I put on this sash and go in there and make a fool out of myself, why don't you call this agent and make sure he wasn't joking, I mean this is a pretty silly message.
- Oscar Goldman: I can't do that.
- Jaime Sommers: Why?
- Oscar Goldman: They found this agent this morning. Face down in the river Seine.
- Jaime Sommers: Snorkeling?
- Oscar Goldman: Dead.
- Jaime Sommers: Hi, I'm Jaime Sommers.
- Sally Bartell, Miss Florida: Miss California, you're the replacement, aren't ya?

- Ray Raymond: You feeling better, Miss California?
- Jaime Sommers: Yes, I needed a rest. You know, the excitement of all of this kinda snuck up and grabbed me from behind.
- Jaime Sommers: Anyway the proverb is: as the queen flies to Paris on her falcon, so must we continue the search for our goals.
