• Alfred : Have you ever heard of Russian Roulette?

  Daphne De Carter : Why, certainly. I used to play it all the time with my father.

  Alfred : I doubt that you played Russian Roulette all the time with your father!

  Daphne De Carter : Oh, I most certainly did. You play it with two decks of cards, and...

  Alfred : That's Russian Bank. Russian Roulette's a very different amusement which I can only wish your father had played continuously before he had you!

• Alfred : A thousand poets dreamed a thousand years, then you were born, my love.

• Alfred : I give you my solemn word, August: if I don't regain control of myself in a few minutes, concert or no concert, I'll take this candelabrum and beat that walnut you use for a head into a nutburger, I believe they're called!

• Alfred : Ah, my dear August, what happy updraft wafts you hither?

• Alfred : There's nothing wrong with me that a couple of magnums of Champagne won't cure!

• Alfred : A thousand poets dreamed a thousand years, and you were born, my love.

• Hugo Standoff : Never since the invention of that most beautiful of all musical instruments, the symphony orchestra, has it been played like you just done.

  Alfred : Don't flatter me.

  Hugo Standoff : Flatter? Compared to the truth, I'm insulting you. What did you have in your head? What visions of eternity, Armageddon, the final battle of the planets in the end of creation, to bring music like that from that bunch of cat scratchers?

  Alfred : You'd be enormously surprised if you knew, Hugo.
