- If I'd been a ranch, they would have named me "The Bar Nothing."
- I can never get a zipper to close. Maybe that stands for something, what do you think?
- Johnny. Such a hard name to remember. And so easy to forget.
- Put the blame on Mame. (title of the song Gilda sings)
- Hate is an exciting emotion...haven't you noticed? Very exciting. I hate you too, Johnny. I hate you so much, I think I'm going to die from it...darling...I think I'm going to die from it.
