Quotes 

• Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Judy, don't pay any attention to her. Last week you were Kathryn Grayson. This week you're Hildegard. Couldn't you be just plain Judy Foster for tonight?

• Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : All right, Judy, have it your own way. You always do, anyway.

• Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Ladies and gentlemen, our popular *16*-year-old singer, Miss Judy Foster, will sing for you - *now*!

  Judy Foster : That's despicable, that's what it is. It's despicable! He knows that I'm practically 17.

  Stephen I. Andrews : Any man who'd reveal a woman's age should be horsewhipped.

  Judy Foster : Would you?

  Stephen I. Andrews : I'd much rather hear you sing, Judy.

  Judy Foster : All right, Stephen. But only because you *want* me to.

• Carol Pringle : It's a fundamental law of human nature that women are always more attracted to men who ignore them.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : I don't think Judy knows that law.

  Carol Pringle : Well, of course she doesn't. You spoil her. You shouldn't do that.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : I shouldn't?

• Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Hi, Judy. Why did you stop?

  Judy Foster : The mood's been broken.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Seems to me you're getting awfully moody lately.

• Stephen I. Andrews : When a girl goes to all the trouble Judy does to make you jealous - that's true love.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Gee, I never thought of that. Steve, you're a man of the world, do you think Judy will be easier to understand as she gets older?

  Stephen I. Andrews : Don't try to understand women, Oogie, just accept them.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : I guess that would be easier.

• Judy Foster : Men, beasts. I hate you all!

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Golly, Judy, what did I do?

  Judy Foster : Nothing yet, but you will.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Why?

  Judy Foster : Because you're a man.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : One of us must be crazy, Judy. Frankly, I'm bewildered.

  Judy Foster : From now on, don't you ever speak to me again!

• Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Holy jeepers. Who wants a fire on a night like this?

  Carol Pringle : I find it cozy.

  Judy Foster : Very cozy.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : How cozy can you get?

• Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : [singing]  I used to wanna be a wealthy broker, With secretaries sitting on my knee, I guess I'll wind up being just a joker

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle , Judy Foster : Shaking apples from an apple tree...

• Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : [singing]  I never go for city chicks, I can't mix, got no tricks, But put me with the cows...

• Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Well, it's like this, Mr. Foster, I think your daughter is losing interest in me.

  Melvin R. Foster : Oh, well, you know how girls are, Oogie.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : No, sir, I don't. How are they?

  Melvin R. Foster : Well, you see, you have to keep two jumps ahead of them. Find out what they want and then don't give it to 'em. Later on, surprise 'em. Always works, Oogie.

  Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Gee, I can't seem to surprise Judy much. Seems she always knows what I'm gonna do before I do.

• Ogden 'Oogie' Pringle : Hey, Judy. Judy.
