Quotes 

  • Captain MacHeath : [Hearing a woman singing]  Women!... I love the sex!... and a man who loves money might as well be contented with one guinea... as I with one woman.

  • The Beggar : You're never Captain MacHeath, sir!

    Captain MacHeath : Never Captain MacHeath, sir? At my mother's breast I was Captain MacHeath, sir!

    The Beggar : I would rather not think so! You're not at all as I imagined. No... no... no. I've overwritten you. My captain is higher by two or three inches.

    Captain MacHeath : Hmmm. Wll, sir, thanks to you I shall be higher this time tomorrow by the height of a hangman's card.

    The Beggar : No, Captain, you'd never do. There is more of you in two bars of my opera than there is in your own body.

    Captain MacHeath : Well, I'm sorry for it.

    The Beggar : [Disappointed]  There's no arguing with reality.

  • Captain MacHeath : Dolly Trull!

    Dolly Trull : Dear Captain, I never thought you'd have the impudence to remember me.

    Captain MacHeath : Kiss me, you slut!

    [They kiss] 

    Captain MacHeath : Are you as amorous as ever? I bid you're always so taken up with stealing hearts you don't allow yourself time to steal anything else.

  • Captain MacHeath : Ah-hah! I love a free-hearted wench!
