Funny Girl
1968
(Looking in the mirror) Fanny Brice: Hello, gorgeous.
Fanny Brice: You think beautiful girls are going to stay stars forever? I should say not! Any minute now they're going to be out! Finished! Then it'll be my turn!
Nick Arnstein: I'd be happy to wait while you change. Fanny: I'd have to change too much, nobody could wait that long.
Fanny Brice: Where I come from, when two people... well, sort of love each other... oh, never mind. Nick Arnstein: Well? What do they do when they "sort of love each other"? Fanny Brice: Well, one of them says, "Why don't we get married?" Nick Arnstein: Really? Fanny Brice: Yeah, and sometimes it's even the man.
Fanny Brice: You could get lonesome being that free. Nick Arnstein: You could get lonesome being that busy. Fanny Brice: Now who'd think to look at you and me and see we got the same problem!
Fanny Brice: He's a gentleman. A gentleman fits in anyplace. Rose Brice: A sponge fits in any place.
Rose Brice: When you look at him, you only see what you want to see. Fannie Brice: I see him as he is. I love him as he is! Rose Brice: Fannie. Love him a little less. Help him a little more.
Fannie Brice: I'm a bagel on a plate full of onion rolls!
Nick Arnstein: Goodbye, funny girl.
Mrs Strakosh: (referring to Nick Arnstein) Candidly, Mrs Brice, that's one good-looking fella. Rose Brice: Hmm... gorgeous. Like Fanny's papa, my ex. Also gorgeous. Wherever he is... he should only stay there.
Rose Brice: What kind of mother would name a boy Florence? Eddie Ryan: It's Florenz-zzz Rose Brice: What kind of mother would name a boy Florenz-zzzzzz?
Fanny Brice: "No harm in waiting," I said, "people do it everyday." For once, I didn't say too much, I said just enough, and then walked away!
Florenz Ziegfeld: Miss Brice, do I have to remind you this is my theatre? Fanny Brice: So, what, nobody argues with the landlord?
Fanny Brice: Flo! Flo, quit yelling or your ulcer will flare up. Florenz Ziegfeld: That's funny coming from you, you gave me that ulcer!
Fanny Brice: (singing) Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter.
