- Professor Michael Armstrong: Just give me five minutes with her. After all, she is my girl.
- Sarah Sherman: Put that in the past tense.
- [first lines]
- Professor Karl Manfred: Are they ever going to get the heating fixed?
- Norwegian Purser: They are working at it, Professor. Perhaps some of you scientists would like to give us a helping hand!
- Countess Kuchinska: Don't look so worried, my darling girl. You are quite safe with me. I am not communistical.
- Farmer: [describing Armstrong's contact] You'll recognise him. He has red hair which is not his own, and his name is Hugo. But don't give him that money until after you've landed.
- Prof. Olaf Hengström: Well, I hope you're looking forward to our lunch. This hotel has an excellent smorgasbord. You know, Miss Sherman, I've often wondered why one of the leading hotels in Denmark should be called the "Hotel of England" in the French language. I suppose it's the ideal title for an international hotel.
- Sarah Sherman: [in bed together] You're a scientist and you're supposed to respect a natural order in all things. Breakfast comes before lunch... And marriage should come before a honeymoon cruise.
- Professor Michael Armstrong: You're on the wrong boat.
- Sarah Sherman: What's your position on a July wedding?
- Professor Michael Armstrong: Oh, July, August, September or October.
- Sarah Sherman: Don't let me hurry you. I just don't want to be the only common-law wife on the campus.
- Sarah Sherman: Darling! We've got connecting rooms.
- Professor Michael Armstrong: That's Scandinavian efficiency.
- Professor Gustav Lindt: Of course it's brilliant. It's genius. The Russians thought I was crazy. They didn't know I'm Lindt.
- Hermann Gromek: Strictly for the birds, huh? They still say that? We used to say it all the time. It's strictly for the "boids."
