How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Singin' in the Rain.

Quote #4

DON: Kathy, I'm trying to say something to you, but I'm such a ham, I guess I'm not able to without the proper setting.

Don can't communicate his emotions verbally, so he has to dance them out. Try dancing out your frustrations the next time your sister borrows your skirt without asking.

LINA: And I cayn't stand'im.

DINSMORE: Can't.

LINA: Cayn't.

DINSMORE: Caaaan't

Bless you, Phoebe Dinsmore.

Quote #6

DICTION COACH: Moses supposes his toeses are roses, but Moses supposes erroneously. Moses he knowses his toeses aren't roses as Moses supposes his toeses to be.

Instead of telling the diction coach that the lesson is silly and unnecessary, Don and Cosmo express the sentiment through a madcap song and dance routine. (And by tossing garbage on his head.)
