Quotes 

• Ray Lloyd : Angel, meet Barry Gordon. He's willing to kiss you for Ted.

  Julie Hallerton : That's very nice of you.

  Barry Gordon : Anytime. Anytime at all.

• Barry Gordon : Say, who's the body?

  Joe - Photographer : A doll from Florida.

  Barry Gordon : Now I know what they mean by the solid South.

• Barry Gordon : You know, my curiosity has gotten the best of me. I'd like to know more about you.

  [singing] 

  Barry Gordon : It's not that I'm inquisitive, It's because I love you so, This is not an investigation, It's just that I'd like to know, Did you ever, did you ever, did you ever, Kiss before? Did you ever, did you ever, did you ever, Whisper just once more? Did you tremble? Did you tingle? Did your heart begin to jingle, Like a pocket, That was loaded full of dimes? Did you like it when you did it? If you did it, then admit it, Did you have such wonderful times? Did you ever, did you ever, did you ever, Get that thrill? Did you ever, did you ever, did you ever...

• Ray Lloyd : [setting up a lipstick advertisement photo shoot]  Now, Mr. Gordon, would you mind stepping around the back of the couch and sitting there? The idea is you love the taste of that lipstick. You know what I mean?

  Barry Gordon : Yes, I think I do.

  Ray Lloyd : Now, just put your arm around her and then pretend you're kissing her.

  [Barry immediately kisses Julie] 

  Ray Lloyd : Well, that's it. Shoot it. Swell, shoot it.

  Joe - Photographer : Would you mind if I took one more?

  Julie Hallerton : Not at all.

  Barry Gordon : Go right ahead.

  [kisses Julie again] 

  Ray Lloyd : That does it.

  Julie Hallerton : You better take another one. I think I moved.

  Barry Gordon : Yes you did. She moved.

  Julie Hallerton : I moved. I *moved*.

• Barry Gordon : You know, I like the taste of that lipstick. What are you doing tonight?

• Clarice : Who is she?

  Barry Gordon : A customer.

  Clarice : A customer? For what?

  Barry Gordon : Silly child. Can't you see she's with a man?

  Clarice : I was with a man too the first time you met me.

  Barry Gordon : That was different. He was your husband.

• Barry Gordon : [singing]  Don't stand quite so near, I'm not what I seem to appear, Look out, I'm romantic, Be careful, my dear, Your eyes have a manner of glowing, That makes you so hard to resist, Don't tempt me for once I get going, I won't stop, Until you've been kissed...

• Julie Hallerton : Imagine what I've been missing on account of that monster. Putting me to bed every night at 10 o'clock in New York. You wouldn't do that to a girl, would you, Barry?

  Barry Gordon : Ten o'clock? Never. Come on, let's dance.

  Julie Hallerton : Ohh, you're *so* nice.

• Barry Gordon : [singing]  Tell me why you keep fooling, Little coquette, Making fun of the ones who love you, Breaking hearts you are ruling, Little coquette...

• Julie Hallerton : I've just got to get back to Florida.

  Barry Gordon : What do you do down there?

  Julie Hallerton : Waterski, swim, do four shows a day. In between shows, I do secretarial work, pose for ads, take dictation...

• Barry Gordon : [watching Julie audition for the Water Follies]  Well, how do you like her?

  Oscar Levenson : Eh. When does she type?

  Barry Gordon : Huh?

  Oscar Levenson : You said she swims and types.

  Barry Gordon : Not at the same time!

• Barry Gordon : Hey, why didn't you tell me? You're good!

  Julie Hallerton : Am I?

  Barry Gordon : Oh, great, great.

• Barry Gordon : Tell me, how would you like to sit in a little outdoor restaurant on the Champs Elysees, on a Spring afternoon watching the people pass by?

  Julie Hallerton : I think I'd like it. Why?

  Barry Gordon : Oh, I was just wondering. And how about cocktails at the George Cinq? Dinner at Maxim's?

  Julie Hallerton : Yes, yes, go on.

  Barry Gordon : And later on, some dancing.

  Julie Hallerton : Yes, of course, I'd give my right arm!

• Barry Gordon : [singing]  You'd be so easy to love, So easy to idolize, All others above, So worth the yearning for...

• Barry Gordon : Paris in the Spring is a horrible place - when you're alone.

• Julie Hallerton : It sounds wonderful - and it sounds as though you were talking about a honeymoon.

  Barry Gordon : More or less.

  Julie Hallerton : May I ask you a question?

  Barry Gordon : Sure.

  Julie Hallerton : Which is it, Barry? More - or less?

• Barry Gordon : Hello.

  Girl in Blue Swimsuit : Oh, hello.

  [drops her hat, Barry leans down, picks it up slowly, close up on "Girl's" legs, returns hat to Girl] 

  Girl in Blue Swimsuit : Why, thank you.

  Barry Gordon : Are you going swimming?

  Girl in Blue Swimsuit : No. They're gonna take a picture of me. I'm posing for a lipstick ad.

  Barry Gordon : Lipstick? Well...

• Barry Gordon : [singing]  The sound of the rain, On each window Panem Says "Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her again," That's what a rainy day is for

  Julie Hallerton , Barry Gordon : It isn't just to make, The pretty flowers grow, 'Cause we both know

  Barry Gordon : The wetter the season, The better the reason

  Julie Hallerton , Barry Gordon : To huddle up tight, And cuddle up tight, And love you, love you, love you tonight, That's what a rainy day is for...
