• Ivy Peterson : [singing]  You should see me dance the Polka, You should see me cover the ground, You should see my bustles flying...

• Ivy Peterson : What are you going to do?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Something so simple. I'm going to put an end to all that confusion.

• Ivy Peterson : Well, I know what's what. You have to if you are a barmaid. But, I like a bit of fun, as the saying goes; but, when a bloke grabs you sudden like with nasty notions in his head it's time to put your foot down.

• Dr. Henry Jekyll : Maybe I better send you to the hospital.

  Ivy Peterson : No. No, look. Here. Feel! Feel.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : [feels her side]  Where? Here? Hmm, just as I thought: Cirrhosis pectoris.

  Ivy Peterson : What's that mean?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : That means your eyes are twin pools of desire.

  Ivy Peterson : [smiles]  Oh, doctor. That's nice. The things you do say.

• Dr. Henry Jekyll : You better let down your blouse.

  Ivy Peterson : Why?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Well, you want me to have a look at you, don't you?

  Ivy Peterson : I don't know. You are looking, ain't you?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Well, how about your side?

  Ivy Peterson : Oh. Do you want to look at my side?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Well, don't you want me to?

  Ivy Peterson : [removes her blouse]  You aren't half a fast one, aren't you?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : I forgot to mention, my friend and I are physicians.

  Ivy Peterson : Physi - Physicians?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Doctors.

  Ivy Peterson : Doctors? Oh, go on!

  [laughs] 

  Ivy Peterson : Oh, I thought you were a couple of toffs.

• Ivy Peterson : Gentlemen like you shouldn't be bothering yourself about me.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Now, what sort of a gentleman doesn't like to help a pretty girl?

• Dr. Henry Jekyll : Your ankle's all right. But I'll tell you one thing. You wear your garter too tight. That stops the circulation. That's bad.

  Ivy Peterson : There! You see? You did find something. You are my doctor, aren't you? I ought to pay your fee, oughtn't I?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : I haven't presented you with a bill yet.

  Ivy Peterson : [presents her garter]  How about this to begin with? Not that it's enough.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : It's fine. It's fine. It's much more than most people pay.

  Ivy Peterson : It doesn't seem near enough to me.

  [kiss] 

• Ivy Peterson : I suppose it was all in fun when you kissed me.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Yes.

  Ivy Peterson : It wasn't all in fun then. I know that.

• Dr. Henry Jekyll : I have to go now.

  Ivy Peterson : But look here. Don't you understand? I ain't no, I ain't no...

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : No, I know you're not. You're a girl with her heart just where it ought to be. Maybe a little too generous, that's all.

• Ivy Peterson : Let me back in there so I can bash him on the nose, that's all!

  Mr. Edward Hyde : Quite the little Tartar, aren't you? Always ready to flare up. Oh, I like that.

• Mr. Edward Hyde : Why? I don't confuse you, do I, Ivy? I believe I do confuse you, don't I?

  Ivy Peterson : I ain't confused by nobody.

• Ivy Peterson : So, good luck.

  Mr. Edward Hyde : I make my own luck, my dear. Yes, and tonight - tonight I follow the rainbow.

• Mr. Edward Hyde : Don't be frightened of me, will you, Ivy? When a botanist finds a rare flower, he shouts his triumph, doesn't he?

  Ivy Peterson : Are you one of them?

• Marcia : You're goin to get dressed and we're going out. Freddie's got a young brother just up from Oxford and they want another girl to make it a quartet. He's a bit of all right too. And we're going to the Empire.

  Ivy Peterson : The Empire?

  Marcia : Yes. Oh, it's ever so gay there, Ivy, and the show is grand. It's just where all the toffs go!

• Mr. Edward Hyde : You like a man who sees a girl and makes up his mind, don't you?

  Ivy Peterson : I don't know what you're talking about.

  Mr. Edward Hyde : Oh, she doesn't know what I'm talking about.

  Ivy Peterson : Oh, please sir.

  Mr. Edward Hyde : But you'll find out, won't you?

  Ivy Peterson : Please.

  Mr. Edward Hyde : You'll find out what it means.

  Ivy Peterson : Please, sir.

• Ivy Peterson : [opens a delivered letter]  . Look. Fifty pounds.

  Marcia : There ain't no letter with it. You don't suppose it's from him, do you?

  Freddie : Yes. The rotter must have sent it for what he's done.

  Ivy Peterson : No, not him. He's too mean, he is.

• Marcia : He ain't your lord and master, is he?

  Ivy Peterson : I should say he ain't.

• Ivy Peterson : She says it's ever so gay.

• Ivy Peterson : He ain't a man. He's a devil, he is. Why, he knows what you're thinkin' about, he does. Why, if he knows that I've been here today, I don't know what he'll do. It won't be nothin' human, I can tell you!

• Ivy Peterson : Oh, please. Please help me keep him off. I'll do anything you ask, sir. I ain't as bad as you might think. Well, men say that I - I ain't a bad looker, when I'm more myself. You liked me once a little, didn't you? Really, you - you're such a fine and kind gentleman. Honest, that night, when you walked out of my place, I made as if I didn't care. I did care. After you'd gone, I kept wishing you'd come back. Truly, I did.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : This man, Hyde, will never trouble you again. I give you my word.

• Ivy Peterson : It's Hyde, sir. It's a man I know, Mr. Hyde. It's him that's done it and more. More I can't tell you. He ain't a human. He's a beast! And he won't let me go, sir, and I am afraid to run away.

• Ivy Peterson : Here is hoping that Dr. Jekyll thinks of his Ivy - as I know he'd like to. As his Ivy thinks of him. Because he's an angel. Here is to my angel.

• Ivy Peterson : Please, sir, oh no. Please, no!

  Mr. Edward Hyde : Yes, dance. Dance and dream. Dream that you're Mrs. Henry Jekyll of Harley Street - dancing with your own butler and six footmen. Dream that they've all turned into white mice and crawled into an eternal pumpkin.

• Ivy Peterson : Here's hoping that Hyde rots - wherever he is. Burn slow when the time comes.
