Bill Blake : Did you have to give 'em two of our best staterooms?
Captain Grey Holden : Well, you heard what she said - he's a great actor.
Bill Blake : Look, Grey, every hambone that comes down the river doesn't necessarily have the three-cents-a-mile passage money.
Captain Grey Holden : Blake, you just don't fish somebody out of the river and then stick your hand in their pockets.

Captain Grey Holden : Blake, life isn't just gettin' up the river on schedule, it's livin' a little along the way!
Bill Blake : I'm for that...
Captain Grey Holden : Besides, what other riverboat can boast having Sir Oliver Garrett and His Royal Reporatory Company aboard, huh?
Bill Blake : Well, the only other one that can is on the bottom of the river.

[Holden presses Garnett about the details regarding the sinking of his previous boat]
Sir Oliver Garnett : I can't remember names, dates, places...
Captain Grey Holden : Well, then how do you remember your lines?

[last lines]
Captain Grey Holden : You know, Julie, you were honest with me, I'd better be honest with you. Show business is fine...
Juliet : It's just the one-night stands...
Captain Grey Holden : Well, that's life on the river - different town every night.
Juliet : Different girl...
Captain Grey Holden : Well, I just want you to know... I didn't want you to get any wrong ideas.
Juliet : Oh, I understand.
Captain Grey Holden : You do? In that case having you...

Captain Grey Holden : Great performance...
