"So THAT's the other end of your party line."
"I've never seen a boy with so many arms before!"
"Happy?" "Happy." (thunk)
"My analyst will never believe this." "Neither will mine."
The funniest part of the film is when Brad pretends to interrupt "Rex" and Jan ("all right, but you're on my half-hour"), and then laughs while Jan tells "Rex" how much she loathes Brad.

"So THAT's the other end of your party line...how are you ever going to get on friendly terms with that?"
"A Harvard Man never resorts to getting a woman drunk...except in case of an emergency, and you, Miss Morrow, are an emergency."
"She has the taste of a water buffalo"
"So, why do you do business with her?"
"Because she's a very rich water buffalo."
Mrs. Walters may have had the taste of a water buffalo BUT I've always agreed with her that the 14th century crematory urn would make a nice lamp--with the right shade of course!
shareMy favorite dialog is actually the "Roly Poly" song. It seems like they had a blast singing that song. Since I was a young boy, I have always thought Doris Day was a very sexy woman. There's something about her voice and the way she walks that I find captivating. Also, in that movie, the woman who played the piano while singing the "Roly Poly" song was very sexy, but I don't know much about her. Anyway, so much for my crushes on older women. Pillow Talk was a silly movie, but funny and worth watching just for the time I get to spend looking at Doris Day. (Read my profile bio for more of my unsolicited opinions regarding sexy older actresses.)
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. - Proverbs 23:7
Alas I cannot remember the exact quote but Brad says it to Jan: "your like a pot bellied stove on a frosty morning" That just cracked me up.
"Have we an internal sequin issue to deal with?"
Doris Day was always incredibly sexy. She had this interesting appeal to both men and women. What I think made her extra super sexy was that she never flaunted it. You could tell by her well fitting clothes and her very particular walk that the package was perfect. She didn't resort to revealing clothing and cheesy flamboyance to overkill an audience. She simply.....was. And in her very being, just her being her, she nailed it!!
She still remains my favourite actress ever. And I've carried a torch for her for decades.

Rex has asked Jan out on a date and she says she already has a date.
Rex: so you're not the type to break a date are you?
Jan: No, I'm not.
Rex: I'm not the type to ask a lady to break a date.
Jan: No, you're not.
Rex: Pick you up at 8?
Jan: I'll be ready.

"I may be neurotic, but I'm not crazy."
"Dry your eyes baby, it's out of character."
"I'm one of your most devoted listeners." Alma to Brad
"By rights these loose teeth belong to you. You mader her cry, I was only trying to stop her." Jonathan
"Did she cry?" Brad
"Cry? I didn't know a woman that size had that much water in 'er!" Jonathan
"The state department could use her. What a party girl she'd make...in Moscow." Brad about Alma
"And the air out there. There's nothing in it but air! In New York you have air you can sink your teeth into; it has character!" Jonathan
"You could be right." Brad
"You're darn right I'm right. You love her and she can't stand the sight of you! Hehehe! That's wonderful; that's what that is, it's wonderful. It almost makes all these loose teeth worthwhile!" Jonathan
When they're in the horse and buggy in NYC...
the real horse owner/driver thinks, "I'm sure glad she's not MY daughter" and Rex/Brad is thinking," I sure hope this horse knows where he's going" and Jan is thinking,"I love a man who's good with animals"
(My recollection may not be exactly ver batim, but you all know what scene I'm talking about!)
When Rock says in the cab, "Look at all those buildings filled with people. Kind of scares a country boy like me." Then he cringes, thinking he was way too hokey, then Doris laughs as thinks to herself how natural he is, unlike those "monsters" like Tony Walters and "that Brad Allen."
shareOh, what a great thread!
The funniest part of the film is when Brad pretends to interrupt "Rex" and Jan ("all right, but you're on my half-hour"), and then laughs while Jan tells "Rex" how much she loathes Brad.
I almost memorize these lines having seen this classic film many times.
