Thoroughly Modern Millie
Movie Quote Quiz

Jimmy Smith: You think that...?
Trevor Graydon: I do.
Jimmy Smith: You don't mean...?
Trevor Graydon: I'm afraid.
Jimmy Smith: Then by now she could be.
Trevor Graydon: Yes.

Mrs. Meers: Pook.

Trevor Graydon: Swell! Just swell.

Jimmy Smith: Be my stenog?
Millie Dillmount: Oh, no. I don't want to be your equal anymore. I want to be a woman. A dandy little bundle for a fellow to cuddle. You think Miss Dorothy has curls? You wait.

Mrs. Meers: Sad to be all alone in the world.

Jimmy Smith: My, what lovely elbows you have, Miss Flannery.
Miss Flannery: From my mother's side of the family.

James Van Hossmere: What do you want for a wedding present, Mrs. Van Hossmere?
Millie Van Hossmere: A checkbook, by jingo. Rich people can nickel and dime you to death.

Continuity mistake: Millie's beads have a mind of their own. They do not stay in place even when she is standing still. Besides the funny scene during the title credits (when it is deliberate), and when Miss Dorothy registers, they also move during a scene when Millie displays her thoughts on Miss Dorothy's beads when the two of them go into the elevator for the first time.

Trivia: During the title sequence, as Millie is buying a pack of cigarettes from a vendor, her undergarment breaks. The vendor stares at her in surprise, and she does a slight curtsy and walks away. When the film was originally released, that was followed by a quick shot of the vendor looking down and seeing Millie's broken undergarment lying on the sidewalk, but for some unknown reason, that shot has been deleted.
