Quotes from
Peter P. Peters: We're the only two people in New York who don't think we're married.
Linda Keene: Think? I know we're not.
Peter P. Peters: I'm beginning to have my doubts.
Peter P. Peters: Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note, though by tomorrow you're gone. The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote, the melody lingers on. They may take you from me, I'll miss your fond caress, but though they take you from me, I'll still possess... The way you wear your hat. The way your sip your tea. The memory of all that. No, no, they can't take that away from me. The way your smile just beams. The way you sing off key. The way you haunt my dreams. No, no, they can't take that away from me. We may never, never meet again on the bumpy road to love -- still, I'll always, always keep the memory of... The way you hold your knife. The way we danced till three. The way you changed my life. No, no, they can't take that away from me. No, they can't take that away from me. We may never, never meet again on the bumpy road to love -- still, I'll always, always keep the memory of... The way you hold your knife. The way we danced till three. The way you changed my life. No, no, they can't take that away from me No, they can't take that away from me. Can't take that away from me
Peter P. Peters: Things have come to a pretty pass. Our romance is growing flat, for you like this and the other, while I go for this and that. Goodness knows what the end will be -- oh, I don't know where I'm at... It looks as if we two will never be one. Something must be done...You say either and I say eyether, you say neither and I say nyther; Either, eyether, neither, nyther! Let's call the whole thing off! You like potato and I like potatoe, You like tomato and I like tomatoe. Potato, potatoe, tomato, tomatoe! Let's call the whole thing off! But oh! If we call the whole thing off, then we must part. And oh! If we ever part, then that might break my heart! So, if you like pajamas and I like pyjahmas, I'll wear pajamas and give up pyjahmas. For we know we need each other, so we better call the calling off off. Let's call the whole thing off! You say laughter and I say lawfter. You say after and I say awfter. Laughter, lawfter, after, awfter! Let's call the whole thing off! You like vanilla and I like vanella. You, say s'parilla and I say s'parella. Vanilla, vanella, chocolate, strawberry! Let's call the whole thing off! But oh! If we call the whole thing off, then we must part. And oh! If we ever part, then that might break my heart! So, if you go for oysters and I go for ersters. I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters. For we know we need each other, so we better call the calling off off! Let's call the whole thing off!
