Master of Ceremonies (Joel Grey) Leave your troubles outside. So, life is disappointing? Forget it. In here, life is beautiful. The girls are beautiful. The orchestra is beautiful.
Master of Ceremonies Outside it is windy, but here it is so hot. Every night we have the battle to keep the girls from taking off all their clothing. So, don't go away. Who knows, tonight we may lose the battle.
Brian Roberts (Michael York) You're American.
Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) Oh God, how depressing! You're meant to think I'm an international woman of mystery. I'm working on it like mad.
Sally Mayr tells Kost's fortune every morning, and it's always the same: "You will meet a strange man." Which under the circumstances is a pretty safe bet.
Sally Of course, I may bring a boyfriend home occasionally, but only occasionally, because I do think that one ought to go to the man's room if one can. I mean, it doesn't look so much as if one expected it, does it?
Sally I suppose you're wondering what I'm doing,
working at a place like the Kit Kat Club.
Brian Well, it is a rather unusual place.
Sally That's me, darling. Unusual places, unusual love affairs. I am a most strange and extraordinary person.
Brian on the pronunciation of "phlegm"
P H is always pronounced as F, and, uh, you don't sound the G.
Natalia Landauer (Marisa Berenson) Then why are
they putting the G, please?
Brian That's, that's a very good question, but
rather difficult to explain.
Sally Try, Brian.
Brian Well, uh, it's just there.
Natalia So, Mr. Professor, you do not know?
Brian No.
Sally Then I am sorry. I cannot help you.
Sally I saw a film the other day about syphilis. Ugh! It was too awful. I couldn't let a man touch me for a week.
Brian How's the, uh, gigolo campaign going?
Fritz Wendel (Fritz Wepper) Terrible. This week,
already I'm giving up three dinner invitations to spend thirty-two marks on
her.
Brian That's quite a sacrifice.
Fritz And here's the craziness: I like it. God
damn it!
Brian What?
Fritz I think I'm falling in love with her.
Brian Oh, I'm so sorry.
Fritz So am I.
Sally describing a telegram from her father. Ten words exactly. After ten it's extra. You see, Daddy thinks of these things. If I had leprosy, there'd be a cable: "Gee, kid, tough. Sincerely hope nose doesn't fall off. Love."
Sally My God! It's enough to drive a girl into a convent! Do they have Jewish nuns?
Brian Aren't you ever gonna stop deluding yourself, hmm? Handling Max? Behaving like some ludicrous little underage femme fatale? You're, you're about as fatale as an afterdinner mint!
Brian Oh, screw Maximilian!
Sally I do.
Brian So do I.
Sally You two bastards!
Brian Two? Two? Shouldn't that be three?
Fritz Do you know what she has done to me? It's terrible! She has turned me into an honest man.
Brian You did it, didn't you?
Sally Did what, darling?
Brian The abortion. In God's name, why?
Sally One of my whims?
