* "I must tear myself from your side!" [[VisualPun Then, just after he says this, the side of his shirt tears off.]]

** "I make more money than...than Calvin Coolidge! [[DumbBlonde Put together!]]" (Especially since [[IResembleThatRemark she says this right after taking offence at being called dumb]]"). Hagen's delivering is so perfect you can't tell whether Lina is making a MalAproper or if she believes that "Calvin" and "Coolidge" are two different people.

** "I make more money than...than Calvin Coolidge! [[DumbBlonde Put together!]]" (Especially since [[IResembleThatRemark she says this right after taking offence at being called dumb]]").

** Just before that, Don interrupts Lina every time she tries to get a word in. We shortly find out [[CuteButCacophonic why]].

** Lina keeps lapsing in and out of her Brooklyn accent, and can never quite seem to aim her lines into the microphone. Don somehow manages to be even ''worse'', comically strutting around the set, turning the melodramatics UpToEleven, and addressing nearly all his dialogue to the camera instead of Lina.

* Cosmo's assessment of Lina: "She can't act, she can't sing and she can't dance. A [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_threat triple threat]]."

** "[[RapidFireYes Yes, yes, yes!]]" "[[RapidFireNo "No, no, no!]]" [[BrokenRecord "Yes, yes, yes!" "No, no, no!"]]: the sound goes out of synchronization, where it almost (not quite) sounds as if each was dubbing the other (with mismatched lips).

** [[RapidFireYes "Yes, yes, yes!"]] [[RapidFireNo "No, no, no!"]] [[BrokenRecord "Yes, yes, yes!" "No, no, no!"]]: the sound goes out of synchronization, where it almost (not quite) sounds as if each was dubbing the other (with mismatched lips).

* In the "Broadway Melody" sequence, we see Gene's character rising from cheap burlesque houses to the most upscale venues - with him and the chorus girls doing the ''exact same number''.

* "She's so refined. I think I'll kill myself."

** "I ''caaaaahhhn't staaahhnd him.''" "I ''cain't stannim!''" "No, no, no, ''caaaaaaaaahhhn't.''" "''Caiiiiiiiin't.''"

** [[HaveAGayOldTime "Well, I can't make love to a BUSH!"]]
** "I make more money than...than Calvin Coolidge! [[DumbBlonde Put together!]]"

* "I must tear myself from your side!" [[VisualPun RRRRIP!]]

** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"]]

** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"]]

* [[HaveAGayOldTime "Well, I can't make love to a BUSH!"]]
* "I make more money than...than Calvin Coolidge! [[DumbBlonde Put together!]]"
* [[TooDumbToLive "It makes us feel our hard work ain't been in vain fer nothin'."]]

* "I ''caaaaahhhn't staaahhnd him.''" "I ''cain't stannim!''" "No, no, no, ''caaaaaaaaahhhn't.''" "''Caiiiiiiiin't.''"
** Even better: in the shooting script, Lina's voice in that moment is described as "a goat, bleating".
* [[HaveAGayOldTime "Well, I can't make love to a BUSH!"]]

* "I make more money than...than Calvin Coolidge! [[DumbBlonde Put together!]]"

* [[TooDumbToLive "It makes us feel our hard work ain't been in vain fer nothin'."]]

* The scene where they're trying to get the mike to work. First, they put it in a bush. Then, they put it over her heart. (It catches her heartbeat). Then, they put it on her shoulder, and it finally seems like all is well...
--> '''R.F:''' [''Walks into the studio and trips over wire''] What's this wire doing here? It's dangerous.\\

** Just how gleeful Don is upon finding out Kathy's weak spot. After she punctured his pride and shut him down earlier he is hilariously petty in how much he's enjoying her discomfort.

* The climax moment of the film is this, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]], and [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Heartwarming]] all at once. Starting with Cosmo happily dancing along to the Singin' in the Rain number, with Don and R.F. gleefully joining in as they dance over to the rope to raise the curtain and badly sing along as they do so. The final clincher is when, as the audience roars with laughter at the reveal of Kathy behind the curtain, Cosmo runs out on stage and takes over the microphone from her to continue the song while the oblivious Lina is still lip-syncing. One of the best movie endings in history.

** TruthInTelevision, at the time, until it was discovered by accident that a '''lot''' of people knew how to read lips, and whatever else could be said for the film quality, it was possible for somebody reasonably skilled to successfully read the star's lips [[ClusterFBomb only to discover that sometimes what was actually being said would earn you an R rating now...]]
** To entertain elderly guests, the British Royal Family would have reels of their favourite silent films sent to the Palace/Castle. Often visiting at the latter was Princess Alice of Greece - the mother of the present Queen's husband (Philip, Duke of Edinburgh). Deaf from birth, she was a highly-skilled lip-reader - and could do so in five languages. She would add to the entertainment by deciphering what the actors were actually saying to each other - in one case, during a dramatic clasp with apparent declarations of eternal love, the leading man was in fact telling his co-star that he was going to be evicted from his apartment if he missed that week's rent.

** Like most everything else having to do with the film at the time, aside from [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed the fictional people involved]], TruthInTelevision.

--->'''R.F.:''' We have to keep our star from looking like a fool, ''at all costs''!\\
'''[[DeadpanSnarker Cosmo]]:''' ''Nobody'' has that much money.

** Cue [[OhCrap synchronized expressions of dawning horror]] on the faces of everyone else present.

--->'''Heckler:''' What did you hit him with, Lina, a blackjack?

** Don enters and flings his cane away in a melodramatic silent-film gesture--resulting in a deafening clatter off-screen.
