Wang Chi-Yang: [to Madame Liang] For five years you have gone to that Citizenship School and all you have learned is: "This is not China!".

Wang Chi-Yang: [to Sammy Fong] You have an unfortunate way of expressing yourself.

Wang Chi-Yang: [to Wang Ta] When that day come when you can think for yourself, I will let you know.

Wang Chi-Yang: Where have you been till this hour?
Wang Ta: Spending the night...
Wang Chi-Yang: Stop! Not in front of your aunt.

Linda Low: [singing] Fan Tan Fanny was leaving her man, / Fan Tan Fanny kept waiving her fan, / Said "Goodbye Danny, you two timing Dan", / Some other man loves your little Fanny. Bye! Bye! / In the icebox you'll find in a can / Some leftovers of Moo Goo Gai Pan. / Fan Tan Fanny has found a new guy, / His name is Manny, he's good for Fanny, / So goodbye, Danny, goodbye! / Bye! Bye!

Linda Low: [singing] Grant Avenue, San Francisco, California, U.S.A. / Looks down from Chinatown over a foggy bay./ You travel there in a trolley, in a trolley there up you climb. / Dong! Dong! You're in Hong Kong, having yourself a time. / You can eat, if you are in the mood.
Chorus: [singing] Shark-fin soup, bean cake fish.
Linda Low: [singing] The girl who serves you all your food is another tasty dish.

Linda Low: [singing] I'm a girl and by me that's only great, I am proud that my silhouette is curvy. / That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait with my hips kind of swively and swirly. / I enjoy being dressed in something frilly when my date comes to get me at my place, / Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy like a filly who is ready for the race. / When I have a brand new hairdo with my eye lashes all in curl, / I float as the clouds on air do, I enjoy being a girl. / When men say I'm cute and funny and my teeth aren't teeth but pearl, / I just lap it out like honey, I enjoy being a girl. / I flip when a fellow sends me flowers, I drool over dresses made of lace, / I talk on the telephone for hours with a pound and a half of cream upon my face. / I'm strictly a female female and my future I hope will be / In the home of a brave and free male who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl like me.

'Sammy' Fong: Baby, you remember the new convertible you've been drooling over? Well it's yours.
Linda Low: I don't want it.

Helen Chao: [singing] Love, look away! Love, look away from me. /Fly, when you pass my door, fly and get lost at sea. / Call it a day. Love, let us say we're through. / No good for you are me, no good am I for you. / Wanting you so, I try too much. / After you go, I cry too much. / Love, look away. Lonely though I may be, / Leave me and set me free, / Look away, look away, look away from me.
