Ricardo : But I will still remember the happiness we've known.

Fiorello : [Fiorello, Tomasso, and Ricardo has just finished a hearty Italian feast; to Tomasso] Well, Tomasso, you feel-a better now, eh?
[Tomasso gleefully nods his head]
Fiorello : [to Ricardo] And you, Ricardo, how do you feel?
Ricardo : After a meal like that? Great! Why, I could sing my head off.
Fiorello : Go ahead. Sing.
Ricardo : [singing] Cosi-Cosa. It's a wonderful word tra-la-la-la.

Fiorello : [Driftwood, Fiorello, Tomasso and Ricardo are sitting on a park bench; Fiorello pushes Driftwood off the bench] Now there's room.
Otis B. Driftwood : [sarcastically] Well, that's all I needed. I'm certainly glad I met you boys. First, you get me kicked out of my job, then you get me thrown out of my hotel, and finally you push me off a park bench. Well, there's one consolation: nothing more can happen to me.
Policeman : Hey, get off the grass.
Otis B. Driftwood : Well, I was wrong.
Otis B. Driftwood : [Driftwood tries to drink from a water fountain, only to have the water shrink away at low pressure] People drink too much water, anyhow. I'm certainly glad you came along. The day you boys came into my life, I had a good job and was about to marry a rich widow. Now I can't even sit on the grass.
Fiorello : I'd give you my seat, but I'm sitting here.
Otis B. Driftwood : Well, that's an offer. I tell you, I'd like to think it over for a couple of days. Where can I find you?
Fiorello : Don't worry. Wherever you are, you'll find us.
Otis B. Driftwood : Oh, I'm sick of that; let's meet somewhere else.
Ricardo : [Tomasso whistles when Rosa appears] It's Rosa!
Fiorello : Rosa!
Otis B. Driftwood : Well, at least I can get my bench back.

Ricardo : [singing] These funny little words don't really mean a thing, It's just a phrase that now-a-days Italians love to sing, Cosi Cosa! It's a wonderful word, Tra la la la, When anyone asks you how you are, It's proper to say Cosi Cosa Cosi Cosa! If a lady should ask you if you care, You don't have to start a love affair, Say Cosi Cosa...

Ricardo : Because I'm in love with you, you call me a fool. Well, there may be something in that.
