For more context, I think the quote is supposed to be attributed to Marika Rökk. Unsure which video or film Zizek refers to... but... on YouTube, all you see on this is some (Nazi era?) tap dancing and singing.
In one video, someone commented:
The scene is much longer (actually 9 minutes) and is actually a dream. In this final part of the scene, he wakes up, she arrives and he tells her he’s been looking for her everywhere.
when she asks if it’s true he says, in all his dreams he’s been looking for her
Then she forbids him to dream of her. Unless, they both dream together. Then, she starts singing:
So... Man has a dream girl and she finds him / he finds her. Her response implies that she is to not be idolized or dreamt of, unless she can too have her own dream man... — take a hint

Marika Rökk
Well given that Rökk was basically a Nazi-era tap dancer, no surprises here!
