Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Maisie aka Frostbite : [Backstage at the final performance of "Melodies of 1914" the producer is handing out pay envelopes to the chorus]  Ooooh! I'll be missing you next Saturday night, Pop!

  Revue Producer : And I'll be missing you, too, Miss Maisie.

  Maisie aka Frostbite : [Taking her pay envelope]  Yeah, but you won't be missing this, and I will. Guess I shouldn't kick. Two weeks is a long run these days.

  [She heads for her dressing room] 

  Maisie aka Frostbite : C'mon Suzy, let's get dressed.

  Suzanne 'Suzy' Trent : Alright Maisie, I'll be right with ya.

  Chorus Girl : [to Suzy, crying]  But it's your whole week's salary, Suzy. I won't take it. You can't afford it!

  Suzanne 'Suzy' Trent : Don't you worry about me; blondes never go broke. Being a brunette, you wouldn't understand that. But you very seldom catch a blonde in financial trouble. Besides, I've got a rich uncle.

  Chorus Girl : But you never told me you had any relatives in London.

  Suzanne 'Suzy' Trent : I haven't got any relatives anywhere, but I've got a rich uncle. Now monkey, you take that.

• Maisie aka Frostbite : Well, big-heart, playing Santa Claus again?

  Suzanne 'Suzy' Trent : Well, easy come, easy go.

  Maisie aka Frostbite : Do you call playing four shows a day - easy?

  Suzanne 'Suzy' Trent : Say, how many shows do you think you'll be working when you hit that cheap cafe job in Paris?

  Maisie aka Frostbite : The exercise stimulates the appetite and the food's free. It's good to! French cooking.

• Maisie aka Frostbite : Oh, I see. You're waiting for the nobility to track you down and *sweep* you off your feet.

  Suzanne 'Suzy' Trent : Well, not exactly. But, I'll keep my eyes open. Maybe I'll do my morning exercises in front of the House of Lords.

• Maisie aka Frostbite : You better take that job in Paris with me. You know, they got Dukes over there too.

  Suzanne 'Suzy' Trent : Yeah, well, I don't speak French. I might say, "Oui, Monsieur" to the wrong question.

• Maisie aka Frostbite : Oh and by the way, a Frenchman told me it wasn't Washington at Gettysburg that said that, it was Grant at Ridgefield.

• Maisie aka Frostbite : Hey, what's the matter with you? You sound sunk.

  Suzanne 'Suzy' Trent : I'm crazy, that's all.

  Maisie aka Frostbite : You're in love, that's all.

  Suzanne 'Suzy' Trent : I'm afraid, I am. Nothing else could make me feel as bad as this.
