Norma Crane credited as playing...
- Tevye: [in song] Do you love me?
- Golde: [speaking] I'm your wife!
- Tevye: [speaking] I know!
- [in song]
- Tevye: But do you love me?
- Golde: [singing] Do I love him? For twenty-five years I've lived with him, fought with him, starved with him. Twenty-five years, my bed is his...
- Tevye: Shh!
- Golde: [singing] If that's not love, what is?
- Tevye: [singing] Then you love me!
- Golde: I suppose I do!
- Tevye: Oh.
- [sings]
- Tevye: And I suppose I love you too.
- Tevye, Golde: [singing] It doesn't change a thing, but even so... After twenty-five years, it's nice to know.
- Tevye: In the middle of the dream, in walks your grandmother Tzeitel, may she rest in peace.
- Golde: Grandmother Tzeitel? How did she look?
- Tevye: Well, for a woman who's dead 30 years, she looked very good.
- Perchik: Your daughter has a quick and witty tongue.
- Tevye: Yes, the wit she gets from me, as the good book says...
- Golde: The good book can wait, it's time for Sabbath.
- Tevye: The tongue she gets from her mother.
- [about Yente, the matchmaker]
- Tzeitel: But Mama, the men she finds. The last one was so old and he was bald. He had no hair.
- Golde: A poor girl without a dowry can't be so particular. You want hair, marry a monkey.
- Golde: Oh, you're finally here. Come, let's go home now.
- Tevye: I want to see Motel's new machine.
- Golde: You can see it some other time. Let's go home now.
- Tevye: Quiet, woman, before I get angry! Because when I get angry, even flies don't dare to fly!
- Golde: [sarcastically] I'm very frightened of you. After we finish supper I'll faint.
- Tevye: [angrily] Golde, I am the head of the house! I am the head of the family! And I want to see Motel's new machine NOW!
- [He looks inside then closes the door]
- Tevye: Now, lets go home.
- Tevye: [singing] Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play?
- Golde: [singing] I don't remember growing older. When did they?
- Tevye: Swipe the floor?
- Golde: [agitated] I DON'T want to leave a dirty house!
- Yente: From such children come other children!
- Golde: Motel is nothing! Yente, you said you had news for me...
- Yente: Ah, children, they are your blessing in your old age. My poor Aaron, God rest his soul, couldn't give me children. Between you and me, Golde, he hardly tried.
- Golde: [about Tevye] You can die from such a man!
- Golde: Tevye! Tevye!
- Tevye: What is it?
- Golde: It's Chava. She left home this morning, with Fyedka.
- Tevye: What?
- Golde: I've looked everywhere for her. I even went to the priest. He told me they were married.
- Tevye: Married?
- Golde: Yes.
- Tevye: Well... Go home, Golde. We have other children at home. You have work to do, I have work to do, go home.
- Golde: [anguished] But Chaveleh!
- Tevye: Chava is dead to us! We'll forget her.
- [gently]
- Tevye: Go home. Go home, Golde.
- [Golde walks away, crying]
- Golde: You'll be late.
- Tevye: Golde, I won't be late.
- Golde: You'll be late.
- Tevye: I won't be late! I won't be late! If you ever stop talking, I won't be late!
- Tevye: [annoyed] We'll be staying with Uncle Avram! We'll be staying with Uncle Avram! The whole world has to know our business!
- Golde: [shouts] Stop yelling and finish packing! We have a long way to go!
- Tevye: Golde! I don't need your advice! Tzietel, don't forget the baby!
- Golde: [about Anatevka after being evicted] It's just a place.
- Mordcha: And our forefathers have been forced out of many, many places at a moment's notice.
- Tevye: Maybe that's why... we always wear our hats.
- Golde: A husband is not to look at, a husband is to get.
- Yente: Out of the whole town, he's cast his eye on Tzeitel.
- Golde: My Tzeitel?
- Yente: No, the Tzar's Tzeitel! Of course your Tzeitel!
- Golde: Such a match for my Tzeitel!
- Golde: But Tevye wants a learned man. He doesn't like Lazar.
- Yente: Good, so Lazar won't marry him. He wants the daughter, not the father.
