THE MUSIC MAN
Harold Hill: I'm a con man. I can fool anyone.
Marian: Not me, Mister. I'm a "know-it-all" Iowa Stubborn Librarian with a stick up my butt.
Harold Hill: What if I were to help your younger brother with a lisp overcome his shyness AND kiss you REAL hard?
Marian: Oh, sure! You do all that and I'll HELP you reel in these provincial bumpkins--I bet we can even get that harridan Mayor's Wife to join forces with us!

Sunday in the Park With George
George: WHITE
A blank page or...
Colour and Light.
Dot: You spend too much time painting. I'm pregnant and I love you, but I'm leaving for America with the butcher.
George: I don't care/yes I do/no I don't. Painting is all I care about.
(finishes painting)
Now I've finished the painting I can die.
(he dies)
George: Hi everyone. It's now Act Two and I'm the descendant of the George in Act One, except I don't believe that I am. My great grandfather George was really talented, but no one liked him or his paintings. I'm really popular, but I have no talent. But my life sucks, because I have to keep "putting it together."
Marie: I'm in the Painting. Dot was my mother. I'm old and I'm going to die.
(marie dies)
George: Oh my god. I never saw that coming. I'm sad. Now I can't make my crappy light machines.
Dot: I'm a ghost. I think you're my lover, but I'm your grandmother. I'd kiss you, but audiences in America aren't ready for that. But they are ready for big cheezy Musicals starring a gay couple that never even show affection *mutters**shakes fist*. Anyway, move on yada yada yada.
George: Oh, I knew my character had a purpose: It was so we could have a final reprise of that really pretty Sondheim song! I know I'm supposed to say something here. Dot why did you write these strange words in your diary?
Dot: They are YOUR words. You say them all the time.
George: I do? Oh well. Order...(lists off a bunch of the Principles of Art)

VICTOR / VICTORIA
Victoria: Oh, here I am, a singer from Britain stranded in Paris with nothing to eat. Wait, if I cut my hair REAL short and wear men's clothes, I could pass for a man!
Toddy: That's right--you'll be a woman impersonating a man impersonating a woman!
King: I love, I mean, I REALLY LOVE this Victor fella--it must mean I'm GAY!!!
Victoria: But I'm NOT a man!

Doxy, that was lovely! Er, this might be about five minutes, but...whatever. No one's forcing you to read.
LES MISERABLES:
Valjean: My life sucks.
Bishop: God is cool.
Valjean: Wow, God IS cool. And he probably wants me to skip town!
Ten years later
Valjean: I'm the mayor! *throws money at masses*
Fantine: Bastard, I'm sick!
Valjean: What?
Fantine: Take my baby! *dies*
Valjean: Uh...I guess I will.
Thenardiers: Cosette sucks!
Valjean: I'll pay you for her.
Thenardiers: Cosette rocks!
Cosette: I'm small and sad. Love me!
Valjean: Okay!
ten years later
Cosette: I'm no longer small and sad. Love me!
Marius: Okay!
Eponine: Well, I'm poor and sad. Love me!
Marius: Uh, no.
Valjean: Hey! Get away from my randomly adopted urchin!
Marius: Uh...*looks for something to do*
Students: We're looking for people to die with us!
Marius: *shrug* Sounds good.
Eponine: Marius, I'm dying. Love me!
Marius: I suddenly kind of do. Don't die!
Eponine: *dies*
Students: *die*
Marius: Ow.
Valjean: Whoops, I probably should let you marry my daughter now. Feel free to cut me out of your--
Marius: Adios, pal.
Valjean: *dies*

Dead people sing. The end.
Edited to add Eponine, because I'm dumb like that.

Norma: Paris makes me horny!
King: I love, I mean, I REALLY LOVE this Victor fella--it must mean I'm GAY!!!

Street Singer: Ignore me. I'm just singing a reprise of "Paris by Night" so I don't feel left out. I'm really the swing for Norma... I'll go on to play Norma in the national tour, but they'll cut "Paris Makes Me Horny" because the rest America can't handle it...
Norma: King is living with a Polish fairy! And I can't spell "Chicago"!
Gangster: Hey I'm a tough guy gangster named Sally and the mob don't do business with homos. But I can't remember who is supposed to shoot whom.
Norma: It's who. You can't say "whom" cuz' there aint no preposition in front of it.
Gangster: Shoot her!
Norma: My mother was a nun!
Gangster: Oh, great a bunch of queers!
Toddy: Two queers does not a bunch make. (five minutes of laughter)
Victoria: That's it!
(Victoria drags Norma upsairs)
Norma: WAIT! Lock the door!
Victoria: I'm NOT a man!
(she shows Norma her boobs.)
Norma: AHHHHH!!! You two-timing son of a bi*ch!
King: Then I'm NOT Gay!
Toddy: and I LOVE Mr. Bernstein!
Mr. Bernstein: AND I CAN SING TOO!!!

SUNSET BOULEVARD
Joe: Why, I'm an out of work writer and you're Norma Desmond! You were in silent movies! You USED to be Big!
Norma: I AM Big! It's the pictures that got small! Here--since you're a writer, you can edit the script I've been working on for my "return." And while we're at it, you can be my kept man--I'll buy you expensive clothes and stuff!
Joe: I'll work on Norma's script by day, and then colloborate with that obnoxious reader Betty by night!
Norma: Joe, who's Betty Schafer? I have a gun, Joe--and I'm not afraid to use it!
