• Sir Charles Lytton : [dressed as a gorilla]  Hi George. Any idea how we get out of here?

  George Lytton : [dressed as a gorilla]  I don't know. I've been all over this place. I've been up this street, up that one, up that one. How are we gonna get out here?

  Sir Charles Lytton : [dressed as a gorilla]  Why don't you try the high road up there?

  George Lytton : [dressed as a gorilla]  Okay. I'll take the high road, you take the low road. So long, Uncle Charles.

  Sir Charles Lytton : [dressed as a gorilla]  Ciao, George.

• George Lytton : You've been avoiding me.

  Simone Clouseau : That about describes it.

  George Lytton : You know what l've been thinking?

  Simone Clouseau : Yes. That's why l've been avoiding you.

• Simone Clouseau : If I'm not being too nosy your highness, I read somewhere there was some dispute over the ownership of the Pink Panther.

  Princess Dala : It belongs to me. It was a gift from my late father. I shall never surrender it.

  Sir Charles Lytton : Why should you?

  Princess Dala : When the present government seized power, they claimed the diamond was the property of the people. There's even some talk of the international court deciding the issue.

  Sir Charles Lytton : I'll tell you what, why don't I steal the diamond, leave that old glove or whatever it is behind, and you and I can split the insurance.

  Princess Dala : All right.

  George Lytton : I feel like dancing.

  [to Princess Dala] 

  George Lytton : Your Highness?

  Princess Dala : I'd love to.

  Sir Charles Lytton : [to Simone]  How about you, Madame?

  Simone Clouseau : Yes, of course.

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : Your leg is better, Sir. Charles?

  Sir Charles Lytton : What?

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : I say your leg is better.

  Sir Charles Lytton : Oh, yes. Much better. Thank you.

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : You know, Mr. Tucker...

  [scalds his hand] 

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : Argh!

  [put his burnt hand into Mr. Tucker's beer] 

  Tucker : That's my beer, old man.

• Simone Clouseau : George - Oh!

  [stumbles on the bed] 

  George Lytton : Well, that's more like it.

  Simone Clouseau : Now, you should be ashamed of yourself.

  George Lytton : Oh, l'm planning on it.

• Inspector Jacques Clouseau : I am willing to bet you ten thousand francs, that the phantom is in Cortina at this very moment. Even, perhaps, in this very room.

  Simone Clouseau : How exciting. What do you think, Mr. Tucker?

  Tucker : Oh, I agree with the inspector. You see, Ten of his last fifteen victims have been guests at Angela Dunning's parties.

  Sir Charles Lytton : What are we all talking about?

  Simone Clouseau : The notorious Phantom.

  Princess Dala : I'm afraid I never heard of him.

  Sir Charles Lytton : From the little I've read about him, he seems to be quite a fellow.

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : Believe me. There are few thieves who are as clever as the Phantom. Each theft is completely different and unique, classic in its conception.

  George Lytton : I thought you were working on the theory that he does repeat himself.

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : Well, only as far as Angela Dunning's parties are concerned. However, there is one other duplication, but that is his ah... trademark, his calling card, so to speak. He always leaves a white monogrammed glove.

  Princess Dala : Sounds terribly theatrical.

• George Lytton : You're beautiful.

  Simone Clouseau : Now stop this, George. You must get out of here.

  George Lytton : You are the damnedest woman l've ever met. What are you? A sexual yo-yo? First you jump in my bed. Then you push me off a mountain. Then you practically seduce me on the dance floor.

• George Lytton : When l was thrown out of college, l made up my mind. l decided to live a little. l knew if l continued my academic endeavors l knew I could depend upon that check of yours. You know what l did? l took a plush Hollywood apartment. Surrounded myself with all of the - advantages of a wealthy bachelor. And I sent you glowing reports of a brilliant academic career.

  Sir Charles Lytton : Well, I suppose a certain amount of dishonesty is bound to beget a certain amount of dishonesty.
