Looking in the mirror]
Fanny Brice:
Hello, gorgeous.
Fanny Brice:
You think beautiful girls are going to stay in style forever? I should say not! Any minute now they're going to be out! Finished! Then it'll be my turn!
Nick Arnstein:
I'd be happy to wait while you change.
Fanny:
I'd have to change too much, nobody could wait that long.
Fanny Brice:
Where I come from, when two people... well, sort of love each other... oh, never mind.
Nick Arnstein:
Well? What do they do when they "sort of love each other"?
Fanny Brice:
Well, one of them says, "Why don't we get married?"
Nick Arnstein:
Really?
Fanny Brice:
Yeah, and sometimes it's even the man.
Fanny Brice:
You could get lonesome being that free.
Nick Arnstein:
You could get lonesome being that busy.
Fanny Brice:
Now who'd think to look at us that we got the same problem!
Fanny Brice:
He's a gentleman. A gentleman fits in anyplace.
Rose Brice:
A sponge fits in any place.
Fanny Brice:
When you look at him, you only see what you want to see.
Fanny Brice:
I see him as he is. I love him as he is!
Fanny Brice:
Fanny. Love him a little less. Help him a little more.
Fannie Brice:
I'm a bagel on a plate full of onion rolls!
Nick Arnstein:
So long, funny girl.
Mrs. Strakosh:
[
referring to Nick Arnstein] Candidly, Mrs. Brice, that's one good-looking fella.
Rose Brice:
Hmm... gorgeous. Like Fanny's papa, my ex. Also gorgeous. Wherever he is... he should only stay there.
Rose Brice:
What kind of mother would name a boy Florence?
Eddie Ryan:
It's Florenz-zzz
Rose Brice:
What kind of mother would name a boy Florenz-zzzzzz?
Fanny Brice:
"No law against waiting," I said, "people do it all the time." For once, I didn't say too much, I didn't say too little, I said just what I said and then walked.
Florenz Ziegfeld:
Miss Brice, do I have to remind you this is my theatre?
Fanny Brice:
So, what, nobody argues with the landlord?
Fanny Brice:
Flo! Flo, quit yelling or your ulcer will flare up.
Florenz Ziegfeld:
That's funny coming from you, you gave me that ulcer!
Fanny Brice:

Nick Arnstein:

Nicky Arnstein has just ordered "filet de boeuf, sauce bordelaise" in French]
Fanny Brice:
I would have ordered roast beef and potatoes.
Nick Arnstein:
I did.
Fanny Brice:
If I can't tell when you're ordering roast beef and potatoes, how will I know when you're making advances?
Nick Arnstein:
You'll know. I'll be much more direct.
