Ladies of the Chorus

Mae Martin:
What's the matter honey?

Peggy Martin:
When you going to let me feel grown up?

Mae Martin:
Letting you go out with Bubbles and every one of her men friends? Will that make you feel grown up?

Peggy Martin:
I"m sick of the idea of not being able to go anywhere, do anything, without the written consent of my Mother. I'm tired of being treated like a child. I'm going to bed.

Chorus Girl #3:
I wonder why my girdle's getting so small?

Chorus Girl #4:
Maybe you're crowding too much into it.

Chorus Girl #4:
I got a date with a cab driver.

Chorus Girl #5:
Yeah? Where're you going?

Chorus Girl #4:
Who's going? We're parking.

Chorus Girl #6:
There's no business like show business.

Chorus Girl #3:
He says to me, "I'd like to see your show, baby, how 'bout a couple of passes?"

Chorus Girl #1:
Nerve! The guys I go out with don't want passes, they just make 'em.

Chorus Girl #3:
Speaking of passes, I've been knocking so many lately I feel like an All-American.

Bubbles LaRue:
I'm quitin'! Right now! This minute, see! This turkey can fold for all I care.

Joe, Stage Manager:
Okay, okay! A fine thing, fightin' like a couple of alley cats! What are you trying to do? Give Burlesque a bad name?

Mae Martin:
Peggy doesn't belong in your world. She belongs in the show world - burlesque. Burlesque Queen - that's what people call her.

Randy Carroll:
What difference does that make?

Mae Martin:
You don't care. But, what about your mother? And your friends? What will they say when you bring a burlesque girl home and you introduce her as your wife?

Randy Carroll:
They better say its wonderful.

Randy Carroll:
Mrs. Martin, I hope you'll forgive me for saying this, but, you have a Mother complex.

Mrs. Adele Carroll:
You know, you're never too old to do what you did.
