Dorothy Shaw: [Dorothy is admiring some athletes]
Gus Esmond: Dorothy Shaw, you're supposed to be the chaperone on the trip!
Dorothy Shaw: Now let's get one thing straight, Gus: The chaperone's job is to make sure nobody else has any fun. But nobody chaperone's the chaperone. That's why I'm so right for this job.
Esmond Sr.: Have you got the nerve to tell me you don't want to marry my son for his money?
Lorelei Lee: It's true.
Esmond Sr.: Then what do you want to marry him for?
Lorelei Lee: I want to marry him for YOUR money.
Lorelei Lee: Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?
Mr. Esmond Sr.: Say, they told me you were stupid! You certainly don't seem stupid to me!
Lorelei Lee: I can be smart when I need to be.
