-
Glenda Crawford, aka Glenda Cunningham : Excuse me, I've got to go see a man about a horse.
-
Glenda Crawford, aka Glenda Cunningham : Aren't you getting into rather deep water?
Ricardo Quintana : Why should I deny it? I'm in over my head already. The first time I looked into your remarkable eyes, I knew that I was lost. I've flown over the high mountains, I've gone down narrow rapids, I've even loved other women, but never have I been so dizzy, so-so helpless as I am at this very moment. It is like a sudden storm over the pampas. You think you can run away from it. But, before you know it, it is upon you, sweeping you off your feet, and your heart, your heart is beating like the storm. It may frighten you, but it is too wonderful to miss.
Glenda Crawford, aka Glenda Cunningham : I'm not frightened. Not a bit.

Glenda Crawford, aka Glenda Cunningham : [singing] Where there are rhumbas and tangos, to tickle your spine, Moonlight and music and orchids and wine, You'll want to stay down Argentina Way...

Glenda Crawford, aka Glenda Cunningham : [singing] You'll find your life will begin the very moment you're in Argentina, Tsch-tsch-tsch-tsch tsch-tsch, If you're romantic Señor then you will surely adore Argentina, Tsch-tsch-tsch-tsch tsch-tsch, You'll be as gay as can be if you will learn to 'Si Si' like a Latin, Tsch-tsch-tsch-tsch tsch-tsch, For mister soon as you learn then you will never return to Manhattan...
