Memorable Quotes
Selma: In a musical, nothing dreadful ever happens.
Lines on screen: They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be.
Selma: You like the movies, don't you? Bill Houston: I love the movies. I just love the musicals. Selma: But isn't it annoying when they do the last song in the films? Bill Houston: Why? Selma: Because you just know when it goes really big... and the camera goes like out of the roof... and you just know it's going to end. I hate that. I would leave just after the next to last song... and the film would just go on forever.
