- George Conway: You are more beautiful than the women of Thailand; more feminine than the women of France; more pliable than the women of Japan; more...
- Maria: Stop, stop. I don't want to hear about all these other women. What I want to hear is that you won't leave me.
- Sally Hughes: Sally, Golden Girl. I was always taught dreams could come true. It's terrific to believe when you're a kid. A little more difficult later on when you're a little more difficult. All that passion and involvement. Men. Causes. I went around agonizing about man's inhumanity to man. I made a good living out of taking pictures of people with their heads blown off; so, that other people with their heads still on and usually under hairdryers could get a kick out of 'em before turning to the nearest recipe. One day it all made me sick. The dreams were over.
- Sam Cornelius: Are you an American?

- Chang: You who have written so much of better worlds, should think it a dream when you find one? Or, is it that you fail to recognize one of your own dreams when you see it?
- Catherine: You've always been a part of Shangri-la without knowing it. I'm certain there's a wish for Shangri-la in everyone's heart.
- Richard Conway: I don't know whether I've been mad and I'm now sane. Or, was sane for a time and now I'm mad again.
- George Conway: [During the song, "Share the Joy"] Now that's the first thing to cheer me up since we got here.
- George Conway: You know, in the outside world, you'd be a knock out! I bet people would fight to see you dance.
