• Augustin Haussy : Madame...

  Clio Dulaine : Yes?

  Augustin Haussy : You're very beautiful.

  [Nervously] 

  Augustin Haussy : I mean... beautiful.

  Clio Dulaine : Yes, isn't it lucky?

• Clio Dulaine : Won't you come in?

  Colonel Clint Maroon : [Thinking he's been propositioned]  Hey, uh, what kind of game is this anyway?

  [She seems bewildered] 

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Now, look, Honey. I was born in Texas, but it wasn't yesterday.

• Clio Dulaine : [Looking at Clint]  Beautiful! I think he's beautiful!

• Clio Dulaine : If you mean to harm me, she'd be likely to kill you. She'd make a little figure like you out of soap, but she'd stick little pins into it, and you'd sicken and die.

  Sophie Bellop : Not I. I've had pins stuck in me all my life and - knives and everything up to pickaxes.

• Clio Dulaine : When I fix this house and live in it, I'll show these pasty-faced aristocrats, I am not my mother, to be sent away and turned into an ugly, broken-hearted woman and made an exile even after she was dead. Let them find out there's someone in Rampart Street now who's not afraid of them. Clio Dulaine, that's me! I'm as good as they are. I'm *better* than they are. I'll be richer than they. I'll be grander than they. I shall marry and be very rich and respectable, not like mama.

• Clio Dulaine : Men will be fools about me.

  Angelique Buiton : Your mama was a plaise. All she knew was to please a man.

• Clio Dulaine : Remember, no matter what i say I am, that I am. I don't want to hear any more of this telling me who I am and what I am to do. Do as i say, and we'll be rich.

• Clio Dulaine : America is lovely.

  Angelique Buiton : America is lovely.

  Cupidon : It's swell and lovely.

• Clio Dulaine : Oh, what a heavenly smell!

  Angelique Buiton : Jambalaya.

  Clio Dulaine : Jambalaya - that mama wished for in Paris and couldn't get? Oh, I want some.

  Angelique Buiton : Oh, heavy stuff, you'll ruin your breakfast at Begue's.

  Clio Dulaine : You know i have the appetite of a dock worker. Quick cupid, tell the man a heaping plate for Madame la Comtesse.

• Clio Dulaine : Keep quiet, Angelique, or i'll send you away somewhere to starve.

• Clio Dulaine : I'm not nearly finished. I'm going to have an omelet souffle, and after that some strawberries with thick cream.

  Angelique Buiton : Yeah, burst your corset. Stuff yourself. With a figure like a cow, you'll get yourself a fine husband. Oh, yes.

• Colonel Clint Maroon : Hey, you look downright wicked.

  Clio Dulaine : Not wicked, Clint. Practical.

• Colonel Clint Maroon : Where i come from, women are two kinds. They're good or they're bad. What kind of a woman are you?

  Clio Dulaine : Well, on my Father's side, I'm very, very good - prim, you might say, and very respectable. On my Mother's side, I'm - how shall i say that for your tender ears? Sometimes I'm Mama, who gave everything for love. Sometimes I'm my Grandmama Vaudray, who gave everything, too; but, not for love. And sometimes I'm my Great-Grandmama Bonavie, who was an actress.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Shucks, that's it. I keep forgetting you're just a little girl dressed up in your Ma's long skirts.

  Clio Dulaine : No. No, I'm not. I'm very grown-up, and I'm going to fool the world.

• Colonel Clint Maroon : I've seen lots of women, but i've never seen a woman like you before.

  Clio Dulaine : There isn't anyone like me, Clint.

• Clio Dulaine : Very, very rich and very respectable men are so rarely handsome. Then, one can't have everything.

• Clio Dulaine : A house isn't a house unless it has about it the scent of a good cigar.

• Clio Dulaine : How good of you, Colonel, uh...

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Maroon. Clint Maroon.

  Clio Dulaine : What a delightful name! So, American.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Texas, ma'am.

  Clio Dulaine : Texas? I should love to see Texas.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Play your cards right, ma'am, and maybe you can.

• Roscoe Bean : Tomorrow i can let you have a suite in one of the cottages in the rear.

  Clio Dulaine : I? At the rear?

• Clio Dulaine : Are you jealous?

  Colonel Clint Maroon : You're durn tooting, i'm jealous.

  Clio Dulaine : Just have to get used to it, my darling.

• Sophie Bellop : i say and i do as i please because i'm not afraid of anybody. It's a grand feeling.

  Clio Dulaine : In a way, you're just like i am.

• Bartholomew Van Steed : i've never seen a lady smoke a cigarette before.

  Clio Dulaine : It's a continental custom, i suppose. I've smoked since I was a baby.

  Bartholomew Van Steed : Yes, but - people will - well, in a hotel, people talk.

  Clio Dulaine : How kind of you to protect me like that. I'm not used to american ways, but a cigarette - a cigarette is sometimes cozy when one is lonely. Don't you find it so, Mr. Van Steed?

  Bartholomew Van Steed : I'm a cigar smoker myself.

  Clio Dulaine : Oh, but of course. So masculine.

• Clio Dulaine : Fasten my dress! Why aren't you here when i need you?

  Angelique Buiton : Something frets me.

  Clio Dulaine : I wish we'd never come to this place. I hate it. I wish we'd stayed in Paris. I wish we'd stayed in New Orleans.

• Clio Dulaine : Angelique, bring a cocktail for Monsieur Van Steed.

  Bartholomew Van Steed : No, thank you. I never drink. My digestion.

  Clio Dulaine : Of course. I've noticed that strong men so often have weak digestions.

• Cupidon : Ghosts in there.

  Clio Dulaine : If there is, it's my Father's, and i'd like to see him.

• Clio Dulaine : My father's blood, my blood. They are the same. I love it- this spot. I'll sleep here tonight.

• Clio Dulaine : Who shall i be?

  Angelique Buiton : You're acting just like your grandma.

  Clio Dulaine : I'll be a Comtesse. Oh, very good! I'm La Comtesse de Trignonai du Chenfrais.

  Angelique Buiton : And I'm the Queen of Spain.

  Cupidon : And I'm the Emperor Napoleon.

• Colonel Clint Maroon : What kind of language is that?

  Clio Dulaine : Gumbo, cheri. New Orleans French flavored with African.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : What does that say in American?

  Clio Dulaine : [singing]  If you was a bird, Suzette, And i was a gun, marvelette, i will shoot you down, sure, i will shoot you dead, Oh, my dear mahogany jewel, I lov'd you, I lov'd you like a pig love the mud, And i will shoot you dead...

• Clio Dulaine : Poor Clint, you must make them pay.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : What in Sam Hill do you think i'm after doing? I promised myself when i grew up, if i ever met up with them...

  Clio Dulaine : Then you should.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : And i will. I'd as soon shoot them down as I would a cottonmouth.

  Clio Dulaine : You see, cheri, we are two of a kind.

• Angelique Buiton : Well, that was a good deed what you've done for your Mama.

  Clio Dulaine : Yes. That does for Mama. Now we'll see what we can do for little Clio.

• Clio Dulaine : Now, go on, cheri. I'm fascinated. Mmm, that feels good.

• Clio Dulaine : We cannot get used to each other, cheri. Not too much. That would be bad, n'est-ce pas?

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Oh, very bad. Ness pop.

• Clio Dulaine : Who is he?

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Well, he's boss of the upstate railroad crowd. Likely, you were too busy making goo-goo eyes when you come in to notice him. Always sitting there on the piazza hiding behind a couple of bodyguards. Don't let his size fool you. He's big poison.

  Clio Dulaine : Is he rich? Huh? Rub my foot, cheri.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Couple of hundred million. Maybe more.

  Clio Dulaine : Is he married?

  Colonel Clint Maroon : No, honey. No. I mean, no for you.

  Clio Dulaine : Well, one never knows.

• Colonel Clint Maroon : He was brought up prim and proper. He was brought up by a woman who was stronger and more possessive than he - his mother.

  Clio Dulaine : I'll be stronger and more possessive than she. And cleverer. You'll see, cheri.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Women are the most unmoral people there are.

  Clio Dulaine : Cheri, darling, darling.

• Clio Dulaine : Take a little sip, cheri. Just a little sip. It's heavenly.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Peaches in champagne? That's no drink for a man.

• Clio Dulaine : Cupidon, look to your shoes and buttons. Be polite to the hotel servants. No tricks! And you, Angelique, no voodoo, no witchwork.

• Clio Dulaine : Tell me, what is the Saratoga Trunk? I thought it was something for clothes. Trunks and railroads kept whirling around in my head. Maddening, it was.

• Clio Dulaine : My mind is clear and bright, just as i knew it would be. And i have a plan, as i knew i would have.

  Angelique Buiton : What now? More mess?

• Colonel Clint Maroon : I can be nagged by women, i can be fooled by women, i can be coaxed by women, but no woman's going to run me. You just pin back those pretty ears of yours and take heed of what i'm saying.

  Clio Dulaine : Cheri, i think that even when i marry someone else, i'll always love you best.

  Colonel Clint Maroon : Heaven help the man that takes up with you for life. I wouldn't be in his shoes, not for a million.

  Clio Dulaine : OH, I'm hoping he'll have much more than a million.

• Clio Dulaine : I shall make my life the way I said. No weeping, no whimpering. I'm strong again. I'll let him go.

  Angelique Buiton : Vache! That gascon with his swagger.

  Clio Dulaine : Oh, he's not a gascon. He doesn't swagger.

• Clio Dulaine : How dare you say that he won't be back? He'll be here tonight for the ball. He'll go as a real cowboy with chaps and spurs and everything.

• Clio Dulaine : I'll whip him! I'll take my riding crop, and I'll whip him!

• Clio Dulaine : Mr. Van Steed, what manner of country is this? I hear there are hordes of roughs. They fight - fight like savages for a railroad. Where are the laws? Where are the police?

  Bartholomew Van Steed : That's nothing for you to worry your pretty head about. That's a man's business.

• Clio Dulaine : I shall marry and be respectable and rich. I shall have my life the way I said I should have it. I really do look beautiful, don't i? Am I as beautiful as my mother was? Yes, I am. I am.
