Honey, did it ever occur to you that some people just don't care about money?
Please don't be silly, we're talking serious.

Gentleman Prefer Blondes quotes
I've been wondering, what's your line, Mr. Malone?
My line? My most effective one is to tell a girl she has hair like a torch at midnight, lips like a red couch in an ivory palace that I'm lonely and starved for affection. Then, I generally burst into tears. It seldom works.
Oh no, you're not one of those, are you?
One of what?
The kind who thinks he has to tell a girl how much money he has.
What's the matter with having money?
Yes, I'm afraid you are. Do me a favor, will you Malone? Go whistle up a rope.
Esmond Sr. Have you got the nerve to tell me you don't want to marry my son for his money?
It's true.
Esmond Sr. Then what do you want to marry him for?
I want to marry him for YOUR money.
Gus Esmond [looking at Dorothy who is admiring some athletes]
Dorothy Shaw, you're supposed to be the chaperone on the trip!
Now let's get one thing straight, Gus: The chaperone's job is to make sure nobody else has any fun. But nobody chaperones the chaperone. That's why I'm so right for this job.
Henry Spofford III [talking to Lorelei, stuck going through the porthole]
All right. I'll help you. I'll help you for two reasons.
Never mind the reasons. Just help me.
Henry Spofford III The first reason is I'm too young to be sent to jail. The second reason is you got a lot of animal magnetism.
Lady Beekman You'll find I mean business!
Oh, really? Then why are you wearing that hat?
Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?
Mr. Esmond Sr. Say, they told me you were stupid! You certainly don't seem stupid to me!
I can be smart when it's important, but most men don't like it.
Excuse me, but what is the way to Europe, France?
Honey, France is IN Europe.
Well who said it wasn't?
Well... you wouldn't say you wanted to go to North America, Mexico.
If that's where I wanted to go, I would.
Mr. Esmond Sr. Are you out of your mind?
Mm-hmm, but I like it that way.
I want you to find happiness and stop having fun.
Remember honey, on your wedding day it's all right to say "yes".
There was an old man named Sidney... Who drank till he ruined a kidney. It shriveled and shrank, but he drank and he drank... He had his fun doing it, didn't he?
