Maggie Prescott: The Quality Woman must have grace, elegance and pizazz.

Dick Avery: Every girl on every page of Quality has grace, elegance, and pizazz. Now, what's wrong with bringing out a girl who has character, spirit, and intelligence?

Dovitch: That certainly would be novel in a fashion magazine.
Dick Avery: Let me show you something.

[Serving wine and speaking in a friendly tone]

Dick Avery: Gentlemen: may I take this opportunity to tell you that you look like a mess of worms? And that you not only look like a mess of worms, but you ARE a mess of worms. And I'll bet you've been sitting at this table all these years because if you ever left it you'd be picked up on a vagrancy charge.

Old French men: [Nod and smile in enthusiastic agreement]

Dick Avery: Your defense rests.
Dick Avery: When I get through with you, you'll look like... What do you call beautiful? A tree. You'll look like a tree.
Jo Stockton: I was taught that I ought not expose my inner senses...
Dick Avery: You ARE mad, aren't you?

Jo Stockton: No, I'm not mad. I... I'm hurt and disappointed and... and mad.
[Dick kisses Jo]

Jo Stockton: Why did you do that?

Dick Avery: Empathy. I put myself in your place and I felt that you wanted to be kissed.

Jo Stockton: I'm afraid you put yourself in the WRONG place. I have no desire to be kissed, by you or anyone else.

Marion: [holds up comic book] "Minutemen from Mars"!
Maggie Prescott: Duval, please! I can't hear myself think, and I'm trying to think in French!
Maggie Prescott: Lettie, take an editorial! "To the women of America...!" No, make it to the women everywhere. "Banish the black, burn the blue, and bury the beige. From now on, girls, think pink!"
Jo Stockton: What about these pictures?

Dick Avery: Well, we're using this shop as a background for some fashion pictures for Quality Magazine.

Jo Stockton: I'm sorry, but I can't let you do this. Dr. Post would never approve. She doesn't approve of fashion magazines. It's chichi and an unrealistic approach to self-impressions as well as economics.
Jo Stockton: Suppose we just leave my bones alone and... and give me my $53.95?

Jo Stockton: How could I be a model? I have no illusions about my looks - I think my face looks funny.
Maggie Prescott: [talking about the newest edition of her magazine] This is just paper. And if I send paper to the American woman, I will have let her down! Oh, yes. D for down, D for dreary, and D for dull and for depressing and dismal and deadly!
Maggie Prescott: Oh, she's just filled with virtues, isn't she? Only she's not wasting any of them on us.
Jo Stockton: If the individual rights are not respected by the group, the group itself cannot exist for long.

Dick Avery: Stop! Stop!

Jo Stockton: I don't want to stop I like it!

This is basically a film tailored to fully show the charm of Hepburn. The plot of the whole play is centered on how to show the beauty of Hepburn. Including shots, dances and a large number of Hepburn fashion photos in the film. In the history of film, such an angel-like actress who is as beautiful as a fairy and has a rich heart is indeed rare. Hepburn is worthy of everyone's admiration and admiration like the stars holding the moon. Therefore, it is completely understandable that the script "is relatively popular and basically has nothing to do with it". It is worth mentioning that the pas de deux in the darkroom and the Hepburn dance in the coffee shop are really amazing. They not only shape the characters, but also show Hepburn's super strong basic dance skills. The dance itself is also beautiful. It is a classic in musicals! Throw away a dozen or so streets away from the flashy and grandiose stuff like "LALA Land". 8 points.

Beautiful picture, Hepburn is a great dancer. The tune is nice. The idea of wearing prada's demonology piece. But old movies emphasize dreams, modern ones emphasize reality. It's hard to tell which is better and which is worse. Or Astaire.
