Don: Well, we movie stars get the glory. I guess we have to take the little heartaches that go with it. People think we lead lives of glamour and romance, but we're really lonely - terribly lonely. Kathy: I don't go to the movies much - if you've seen one, you've seen them all...Oh, no offense. Movies are entertaining enough for the masses, but the personalities on the screen just don't impress me. I mean, they don't talk. They don't act. They just make a lot of dumb show... Kathy: Acting means great parts, wonderful lines, speaking of glorious words, Shakespeare, Ibsen. Don: Words, tell me, what's your lofty mission in life that lets you sneer at my humble profession? Kathy: I'm an actress. Don: What?... Kathy: On the stage. Don: Oh, on the stage. Well, I'd like to see you act. What are you in right now? I could brush up on my English, or uh, bring along an interpreter, that is, if they'd let in a movie actor. Kathy: Well, I'm not in a play right now, but I will be. I'm going to New Y

Lina: I arranged it...Well, they weren't gonna fire her, so I called 'em up and told 'em they'd better. Don: Why, you rattlesnake you. You got that poor kid fired. Lina: That's not all I'm gonna do if I ever get my hands on her. Don: I never heard of anything so low...What did you do it for? Lina: 'Cause you liked her, I could tell. Don: So that's it. Believe me. I don't like her half as much as I hate you. You reptile! Lina: Sticks and stones may break my bones... Don: I'd like to break every bone in your body. Lina: You and who else, you big lummox?

Lina: [after filming a love scene] Oh, Donny! You couldn't kiss me like that and not mean it just a teensy, weensy bit! Don: Meet the greatest actor in the world. I'd rather kiss a tarantula. Lina: Oh, you don't mean that. Don: I don't -- Hey, Joe, bring me a tarantula.

R.F. Simpson: The public is screaming for more...talking pictures...Every studio is jumping on the bandwagon, Dexter. All the theatres are putting in sound equipment. We don't want to be left out of it. Cosmo: Talking pictures, that means I'm out of a job. At last I can start suffering and write that symphony. R.F. Simpson: You're not out of a job, we're putting you in as head of the new music department. Cosmo: Well, thanks, R.F.! At last I can stop suffering and write that symphony. R.F. Simpson: Don, it'll be a sensation! "Lamont and Lockwood: they talk!" Lina Lamont: [with a voice to peel paint] Well of course we talk. Don't everybody?
