Sandy : Yes well I'd like to talk to you about it sometime.
Robert L. Talbot : About what?

Lisa Helena Fellini : When they answer, ask for him.
Sandy : Oh, you think I should?
Lisa Helena Fellini : Of course! It's like fighting a war. If you retreat and the enemy doesn't follow you, you've got turn around and attack. What good is winning the battle if you lose the war?

Lisa Helena Fellini : Why be miserable with someone you don't love? Better to be miserable with someone you do love!
-

Maurice Clavell : The war came along. He was standing sentry duty at an ammunition dump. Blew up.
Margaret Allison : Really?
Maurice Clavell : Left him slightly shell-shocked.
Sandy : You wouldn't know it to look at him.
Maurice Clavell : No. It's like looking at a magnificent castle with a weak tower.
-
Sandy : I think it's terribly exciting. All the girls do. Two people in love, being in a romantic place like this. It's about the dreamiest thing I've ever heard of!
Lisa Helena Fellini : I'm going downstairs to get some warm milk.
Sandy : Warm milk? He looks more like the champagne type to me.

Sandy : Uh, Tony was just examining my bone structure.
Lisa Helena Fellini : He's studying to be a doctor.
Sandy : Oh, yes.
Robert L. Talbot : Where does he plan to intern? At the Folies Bergère? I don't want to interfere with medical progress, but we're ready to leave. After you, *Doctor*.
-
Sandy : How would you say I'm arranged?
Tony : You?
Sandy : Yeah.
Tony : I never gave it much thought. You've got a good basic bone structure. Hmph. Let me see. Nice rib cage. Fibula. Tibia's good. Ah, well-developed patellas. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh! Good. Very good. Excellent! Good, strong heartbeat. Hmm. Isn't that strange?
Sandy : What?
Tony : Your pulse. It suddenly started to race.
-
Sandy : He's cute, isn't he?
Lisa Helena Fellini : Who?
Sandy : Tony! I hope I didn't loosen any of his teeth when I hit him. He has such a beautiful smile!
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : You're not mad at him?
Sandy : Mad at him? Why would I be mad at him?
Lisa Helena Fellini : Wait, wait. He got fresh. You hit him. But you're not mad?
Sandy : No.
Lisa Helena Fellini : You like him!
Sandy : Oh, I adore him!
-
Sandy : When he got fresh, it showed that he was interested. And I had to make sure he stayed interested.
Lisa Helena Fellini : So you hit him.
Sandy : That's right.
-
Sandy : It's like Mr. Talbot said, "A girl has to make a boy respect her. If she gives in too easily, he'll never take her seriously."
Lisa Helena Fellini : Oh. He said that?
Sandy : And he's right. He said, "When you go shopping in a market, you don't buy anything that's been handled too much."
Lisa Helena Fellini : Oh. When did Mr. Talbot tell you all this?
Sandy : While we were dancing. He said, "If you want a man to think in terms of getting engaged and married, then you've got to keep your standards high."
Lisa Helena Fellini : What else did he say?
Sandy : He said that love is one product you don't sell by giving away free samples.
Lisa Helena Fellini : Hmm. That's good advice for all of us.
