Well we've had the general musicals thread but how about a straight quotes thread?
Any quote is good be it dialogue or lyrics. Correct answer has to be at least the musical it's from, but for extra points (not that there are actual points of course) the song title if it's a lyric) and the character speaking/singing should really be posted too.
I'll start (possibly paraphrasing but I'm pretty sure they're right)
"No-one ever treated me kindly Daddy left early, Mommy was poor I'd meet a man and follow him blindly He'd snap his fingers and I'd say 'sure'"

That's the one. I was kind of expecting/hoping for sychronicity that Suddenly Seymour would post the answer becasue I posted the lyrics and then suddenly realised that the very title of the song was actually used here as an id with Audrey II as the avatar. Heh.

It's been bugging me all morning because it was so familiar, but I think I finally have it. It's the Mother Superior (or possibly one of the other nuns) during 'Maria' from the Sound Of Music.

Dig out your scorecards: the performer who originated the quoted role won a Tony for it.
