Ché: Okay, she couldn't act but she had the right friends, and we all know a career depends on knowing the right fella to be stellar! (Ace Goodman)
Ché: You let down your people, Evita! You were supposed to have been immortal. That's all they wanted. Not much to ask for. But in the end you could not deliver. (Ace Goodman)
Ché: Sing, you fools, but you got it wrong! Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long. Your queen is dead. Your king is through. She's not coming back to you. Show business kept us all alive since 17 October 1945 but the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin. That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in. Instead of government we had a stage. Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage! Instead of help, we were given a crowd. She didn't say much but she said it loud. (Ace Goodman)
Eva Perón: I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks. I tasted it last night... didn't I? (Ace Goodman)

Eva Perón: I am only a radio star with just one weekly show / but speaking as one of the people, I want you to know / we are tired of / the decline of / Argentina with no sign of / a government able to give us the things we deserve. (Ace Goodman)
Cinema Manager: It is my sad duty to inform you that Eva Peron, spiritual leader of the nation, entered immortality this evening. (Ace Goodman)
Ché: Hang your head, because she is no longer there, to shine, to dazzle or betray. (Ace Goodman)
Ché: How she lived. How she shone. But how soon the lights were gone. (Ace Goodman)
Juan Perón: Eva, you are dying.
Eva Perón: So what happens now? Where am I going to?
Juan Perón: Don't ask any more. (Ace Goodman)
Ché: She had her moments. She had some style. (Ace Goodman)
Ché: The greatest social climber since Cinderella! (Ace Goodman)
Well-to-do People: Such a shame she wandered into our enclosure, how unfortunate this person has forced us to be blunt. No, we wouldn't mind seeing her at Harrod's, but behind the jewellery counter, not in front. (Ace Goodman)
Ché: So famous, so easily, so soon is not the wisest thing to be. (Ace Goodman)
Eva Perón: Tell me, before you get onto your high horse, just what do you expect me to do? (Ace Goodman)
Eva Perón: Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know. Well, maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow. I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion, but that's no consolation here and now. (Ace Goodman)
Ché: [to one of Eva's lovers] We'd love you to stay, but you'd be in the way, so do up your trousers and go! (Ace Goodman)
Eva Perón: It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange, when I try to explain how I feel, that I still need your love after all I have done... (Ace Goodman)
Ché: She filled a bull-ring - 45,000 seater; but if you're prettier than General Franco, that's not hard. (Ace Goodman)
Peron Advisers: More bad news from Rome she met with the Pope she only got a rosary and a kindly word.
Ché: I wouldn't say the holy father gave her the bird. (Ace Goodman)
Peron Advisers: Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour! It's been an incredible success. We weren't quite sure; we had a few doubts...
Juan Perón: Will Evita win through? And the answer is...
Ché: A qualified yes. (Ace Goodman)
Eva Perón, Ché: There is evil ever around fundamental system of government. Quite incidental! (Ace Goodman)
Juan Perón: Your little body's slowly breaking down. You're losing speed, you're losing strength, not style. That goes on flourishing forever, but your eyes, your smile do not have the sparkle of your fantastic past. If you climb one more mountain, it could be your last. (Ace Goodman)
Eva Perón: I'm not that ill. Bad moments come, but they go. Some days are fine. Some a little bit harder. But that doesn't mean we should give up our dream. Have you ever seen me defeated? Don't you forget what I've been through and yet, I'm still standing. (Ace Goodman)
Ché: Turn a blind eye, Evita, turn a blind eye... (Ace Goodman)
Eva Perón: I came from the people. they need to adore me. So Christian Dior me, from my head to my toes. (Ace Goodman)
