I love you.

Recorder:
She's gotta talk into the mike. I can't pick it up.

What's the matter, Dexter?
Roscoe Dexter:
It's Lina! Look, Lina, don't you remember? I told you. There's a microphone right there in the bush.

Yeah.
Roscoe Dexter:
You have to talk into it.
Lina Lamont:
I was talking. Wasn't I, Mrs. Dinsmore?

Yes, my dear. But please remember, round tones. "Pierre, you shouldn't have come!

Gee, this is dumb.

She'll get it, Dexter. Lina, don't worry. We're all a little nervous on the first day. Everything's gonna be okay. Oh, Roscoe! You know the scene where I say, "Imperious princess of the night?" I don't like those lines there. Is it okay if I say what I always do? "I love you, I love you, I love you!

Oh, Pierre, you shouldn't have come! You're flirting with danger. You'll surely find you out.
Roscoe Dexter:
CUT!! Lina, you're missing every other word. You've got to talk into the mike!
Lina Lamont:
Well, I can't make love to a bush!
Roscoe Dexter:
Alright, alright! We'll have to think of something else.
