Stage manager: Neely? Neely open the door, you're on. Neely!

Neely O'Hara: [stumbles out of her dressing room]Hi!

Stage manager: My God. You've got on your costume for the second act.

Neely O'Hara: So? I'll do the second act first!

[later - in a bar near the theater after the show]

bar patron: The understudy was terrific. I wonder what happened to Neely O'Hara.

another bar patron:[snidely] They SAY she had laryngitis.

Neely O'Hara: [slumped alone at the end of the bar - taking a drink and searching for a pill] WHO had laryngitis?

Edward the Bartender: We're closing now, Miss O'Hara. Shall I call you a cab?

Neely O'Hara: I don't need it - I don't need ANYBODY. I got talent, Edward. BIG talent.

Neely O'Hara: [staggers to the doorway and looks wistfully into the abandoned street] They Love me.
