King Louis XV: [singing] Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la you've come to wash my face! Maids: [singing in return] Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la we've come to wash your face! Niagara: Land's sakes, what's he trying to do, landscape you? Niagara: What are you doing, playing one-nighters in dressing rooms? Alec Howe: You're human aren't you? May Daly: I hope not! Ginny: Can't you see I love you and want you for the father of my children? Louis Blore: I didn't know you had any! Louis Blore: You remind me of one of those girls in Esquire, the ones with clothes on, of course. Old lady: Next time I get hitched it's for dough. Charlie: Hey, Slim! Watch your hat? Watch your derby? Louis Blore: Money ain't changed *me*, I'm still lovable! May Daly: I see you want to buy me. Louis Blore: Gosh no, Miss Daly, I want to marry you! King Louis XV: What's this?

Charlie: We'll slip him a Rooney. Louis Blore: A Rooney? What's that? Charlie: It's a high-powered Mickey. Alec Howe: You know, it's too bad May couldn't marry for love *and* money. Louis Blore: You mean sort of a double wedding? Louis Blore: Here's to I, May, and you - the eternal rectangle. If this was back in the glorious days of France, I would be King Louis, May would be Du Barry, and you would be one of the common folks - a peasant. King Louis XV: Hey! Men don't kiss men! Dauphin: They do in France, Pop. Black Arrow: How embarrassing, to be found hiding behind a woman's skirts. Black Arrow: Du Barry! That jay! That jezebel! That spoiler of kings! Madame Du Barry: Isn't he wonderful? Black Arrow: Does she love the king? No! She loves rubies! So your children go hungry! She loves silks! So your wives go naked! Madame Du Barry: [dreamily] Look at his eyes. King Louis XV: We'll give him a fair trial. Then we'll hang him. King Louis XV: For parading without a license each of you gets thirty days. For planning to knock me off, you get the guillotine.
