Dorothy Shaw
- [Dorothy is admiring some athletes]
- Gus Esmond: Dorothy Shaw. I want you to remember you're supposed to be the chaperone on this trip.
- Dorothy Shaw: Now lets get this straight, Gus. The chaperone's job is to see that nobody else has any fun. Nobody chaperones the chaperone. That's why I'm so right for this job.
- Ernie Malone: It seemed a good idea to bring some drinks. Here are your cigarettes.
- Dorothy Shaw: Oh, you're a dear. Good boy.
- Lorelei Lee: I've been wondering, what is your line, Mr. Malone?
- Ernie Malone: My line? Well, my most effective one is to tell a girl that she has hair like a tortured midnight, lips like a red couch in an ivory palace, that I'm lonely and starved for affection. Then, I generally burst into tears. It very seldom works.
- Dorothy Shaw: You idiot.
- Lorelei Lee: [Lorelei is holding a tiara] How do you put it around your neck?
- Dorothy Shaw: You don't, honey, it goes on your head!
- Lorelei Lee: You must think I was born yesterday.
- Dorothy Shaw: Well, sometimes there's just no other possible explanation.
- Dorothy Shaw: Honey, did it ever occur to you that some people just don't care about money?
- Lorelei Lee: Please, we're talking serious here.
- Dorothy Shaw: You know I think you're the only girl in the world who can stand on a stage with a spotlight in her eye and still see a diamond inside a man's pocket.
- Lorelei Lee: Pardon, please, is this the way to Europe, France?
- Passport Official: To where?
- Dorothy Shaw: Not Europe, France, honey. France is *in* Europe.
- Lorelei Lee: Well, who said it wasn't?
- Dorothy Shaw: Well, you wouldn't say is this the way to North America, Mexico, would you?
- Lorelei Lee: If that's where I wanted to go, I would.
- Dorothy Shaw: The dealer passes.
- Dorothy Shaw: You mean you eat at six and have to be in bed at nine?... Holy smoke! Nine o'clock. That's just when life just begins!
- Dorothy Shaw: Listen, either you hock some of that stuff or get the price of a diamond tiara out of him.
- Lorelei Lee: How much do you think a diamond tiara will cost?
- Dorothy Shaw: Fifteen thousand at least.
- Lorelei Lee: [Concentrates] Let's see, that'll take an hour and 45 minutes.
- Dorothy Shaw: I certainly want to know who the players are. For instance, who's the young man who just tried to steal second base?
- Ernie Malone: Name is Malone.
- Dorothy Shaw: I'm Shaw, Dorothy. Well, Mr. Malone?
- Ernie Malone: You're the most attractive girl in the room so I came over to tell you. Do you mind?
- Dorothy Shaw: No, I might as well warn you, flattery will get you anywhere.
- Ernie Malone: In that case we haven't got any problems.
- Gus Esmond: [as she tries on the diamond ring he's just given her] Is it the right size?
- Lorelei Lee: Well, it can never be too big. Do you think that's too small, Dorothy?
- Dorothy Shaw: [whistles] Looks like it oughta have a highball around it.
- Lady Beekman: You'll find I mean business!
- Dorothy Shaw: Oh, really? Then why are you wearing that hat?
- Dorothy Shaw: Bottom's up!
- [Dorothy, Lorelei and Ernie drink their cocktails]
- Dorothy Shaw: He looks like he's going to explode.
- Ernie Malone: What was that?
- Lorelei Lee: Just equal parts of Scotch, Vodka, Brandy, and Gin.
- Lorelei Lee: Dorothy. Mr. Esmond and I are getting married.
- Dorothy Shaw: To each other?
- Gus Esmond: Of course to each other. Who else to?
- Dorothy Shaw: Well, I don't know about you Gus, but I always figured Lorelei would end up with the Secretary of the Treasury.
- Lady Beekman: You might be interested in my tiara. I always carry it with me. Afraid to leave it in the stateroom.
- Dorothy Shaw: And you're not afraid to show it to Lorelei?
- Dorothy Shaw: [singing] I like a beautiful hunk of man. But I'm no physical culture fan. Ain't there anyone here for love?
- Lorelei Lee, Dorothy Shaw: [singing] We're just two little girls from Little Rock, We lived on the wrong side of the tracks, But the gentlemen friends who used to call, They never did seem to mind at all, They came to the wrong side of the tracks...
- Ernie Malone: I'm not that bad all the time. Sometimes I'm very nice. Sometimes I just speak without thinking.
- Dorothy Shaw: I get the picture. You're half sweet and half acid.
