- Christine Francis: Are you ready to knock them dead?
- Diana Aikin: It's really ridiculous. I mean, I haven't had stage fright in years.
- Christine Francis: You should've seen me as Juliet in our senior class play. Romeo had to push me out on the balcony.
- Diana Aikin: But you went on anyway. Probably saved the show.
- Christine Francis: Ooh, I died long before my death scene.
- Peter McDermott: These replacement costs are killing us.
- Victoria Cabot: Oh. Only one new television set? We haven't had a record as good as that since '73. And I haven't had to ask a gentleman for a date since '63. You think you could save a lady in distress?
- Peter McDermott: My arm's a little rusty, but, uh, I could manage a joust or two.
- Victoria Cabot: I'm... I'm hosting a party for the friends of the opera, and my escort is down with the flu.
- Peter McDermott: I'll break out the tux. When is it?
- Victoria Cabot: Three hours from now.
- Peter McDermott: [a little taken aback] You know... I wouldn't do this for anyone else but you, Victoria.
- Victoria Cabot: Well, I wouldn't ask anyone but you. Thank you. Oh, by the way, you do like opera, don't you?
- Peter McDermott: Well, sure. About as much as I like ballet.
- Victoria Cabot: Oh, dear.
- Megan Kendall: I didn't know you spoke...
- Julie Gillette: Swahili. It's not very good. It's not my best subject.
- Megan Kendall: Nice subject. Is he...
- Julie Gillette: Divorced and available. He's a fashion buyer from Nairobi. Why is it all the good ones are either married or they live 9,000 miles away?
- Allison Brunell: I don't think we've met. I'm Allison Brunell.
- Peter McDermott: Peter McDermott.
- Allison Brunell: An opera lover?
- Peter McDermott: Well, actually, uh, I'm a ringer.
- Allison Brunell: A ringer?
- Peter McDermott: Brought in to back up the first team.
- Allison Brunell: Well, see, from across the room, I would have thought you... you love Mozart.
- Peter McDermott: He's a southpaw for the White Sox? From across the room, I'd have thought you'd be even better looking up close.
- Allison Brunell: And?
- Peter McDermott: And my taste in music is better than I thought.
- Peter McDermott: $6,000 for ashtrays, $8,000 for towels.
- Christine Francis: Well, people like to take souvenirs. At least they're not walking off with the silver.
