Quotes 

• Eve Dillon : You heel! Can't even pay a hotel bill! In debt up to your ears, and it's horses! Horses every second you're awake! Horses, horses, horses!

  Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : [unapologetically]  I don't drink or smoke.

• Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : Take 10, sweetheart.

  Eve Dillon : [angrily]  Take 10? I've been "taking 10" ever since I've known you - watching you fight your way to the bottom!

  Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : [unperturbed]  I don't fight, baby. I'm a lover.

• Eve Dillon : Isn't this wonderful? Think of this place, its history, its tradition. Think of all the great men who came from here. General Grant, Eisenhower, Pershing.

  Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : Benedict Arnold. He tried hard to give this joint to the British. I think he should have his case reviewed.

  Eve Dillon : Look at that scenery, those buildings.

  Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : Alcatraz on the Hudson. And get a load of this weather. Cold enough to freeze the medals off a brass general.

  Eve Dillon : Oh, Bix, stop beefing.

• Eve Dillon : That Gilbert is a cute hunk of cadet, but he's no princess.

• Eve Dillon : Why not use a real girl? A local. A daughter of one of the officers, maybe, to play the part?

  Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : There are to be no females in this show.

  Eve Dillon : One woman couldn't hurt.

  Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : That's what Adam said, Eve.

• Eve Dillon : I accepted their invitation for you to become a cadet.

  Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : You what?

  Eve Dillon : You heard me.

  Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : And I just accepted an invitation for you to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Now, who goes first?

• Eve Dillon : I can't compete with movie stars.

• Eve Dillon : Remember Cupid: you shot the arrow.

• Eve Dillon : Remind me sometime to tell you about boys and girls.

• Elwin 'Bix' Bixby : [last lines - singing]  And now that it's over, I'll sure miss the going to classes. Miss you cadets, yes, the brasses. So take my thanks to all the ranks, with love and kisses.
