The movie

  • During her performance at the beginning of the film Lorelei can totally spot from the stage (!) that Gus has something inside his pocket. - her engagement ring, quite accurately.
    Dorothy: You know, I think you're the only girl in the world who can stand on a stage with a spotlight in her eye and still see a diamond inside a man's pocket.
  • Lorelei's Global Ignorance:
    Lorelei: Excuse me, but what is the way to Europe, France?
    Dorothy: Honey, France is in Europe.
    Lorelei: Well, who said it wasn't?
    Dorothy: Well... you wouldn't say you wanted to go to North America, Mexico.
    Lorelei: If that's where I wanted to go, I would.
  • Gus is concerned with Dorothy's Really Gets Around tendencies and tells her to behave during her trip with Lorelei.
    Gus: Dorothy Shaw, you're supposed to be the chaperone on the trip!
    Dorothy: I'm here to make sure nobody else has any fun- but nobody chaperones the chaperone, that's why I'm so right for the job!
  • The maître accepts bribes from the gentlemen to have sit at the same table of the girls. Lorelei shows up to ask for a certain guy to sit at her table (an eligible bachelor for Dorothy) but she can't pay the maître. Quite smugly she makes a subtle threat to dine in her room for all the trip. The maître has no choice to abide.
  • The shot where Lorelei’s butt struggles to fit through the porthole, clearly too big to fit.
  • Every single word out of Henry Spofford III's (played by George Winslow) mouth.
  • Dorothy pretending to be Lorelei in court (and doing a pretty decent impression of her), topped off by breaking into a rendition of "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" as a distraction.
