"Striking at people that way is almost as good as the other, the real way.

The way I'd fought to forget—and had almost forgot—until I met her."

"Out here, you say yes ma'am and no ma'am to anything with skirts on;

anything white, that is.

Out here, if you catch a man with his pants down, you apologize ...

even if you have to arrest him afterwards."

Charade, 1963

"Alexander Dyle: All right, get set for the story of my life.
Reggie Lampert: Fiction or non-fiction?"

"Peter Joshua: How about making me vice president in charge of cheering you up?"

"Sylvie: It is infuriating that your unhappiness does not turn to fat!"

"Reggie Lampert: So it's goodbye Alexander Dyle and welcome home Peter Joshua.
Adam Canfield: Sorry the name is Adam Canfield.
Reggie Lampert: Adam Canfield? Wonderful! Do you realize you've had three names in the past two days? I don't even know who I'm talking to any more!"

"Tex Panthollow: She batted them pretty little eyes at you,

and you fell for it like an egg from a tall chicken!"

"Reggie Lampert: You're blocking my view.
Peter Joshua: Ohh... which view would you prefer?
Reggie Lampert: The one you're blocking."

"Inspector Grandpierre: This nose tells me when you are lying.
It is never mistaken, not in 23 years. This nose will make me commisoner."

"Adam Canfield: Heroin, peppermint-flavored heroin."

"Hamilton Bartholomew: Do you know what these things cost over here?"

"Reggie Lampert: Why do people have to tell lies?
Peter Joshua: Usually it's because they want something.

They are afraid the truth won't get it for them."

"Reggie Lampert: Well, wasn't it Shakespeare that said, "When strangers do meet in far off lands, they should e'er long see each other again"?
Peter Joshua: Shakespeare never said that!
Reggie Lampert: How do you know?
Peter Joshua: It's terrible. You just made it up.
Reggie Lampert: Well, it sounds right..."

"Reggie Lampert: Which one are you?
Peter Joshua: A truthful white-foot.
Reggie Lampert: Come in. Sit down.
Peter Joshua: Why, do you want to look at my feet?
Reggie Lampert: Yes."

"Peter Joshua: Reggie, cut it out.
Reggie Lampert: Okay.
Peter Joshua: Well, now what are you doing?
Reggie Lampert: Cutting it out.
Peter Joshua: Who told you to do that?"

"Reggie Lampert: This is a ludicrous situation.

I can think of a dozen men who are just longing to use my shower."

"Peter Joshua: Well, here we are.
Reggie Lampert: Where?
Peter Joshua: On the street where you live."

High Society, 1956

"Louis Armstrong: End of song, beginning of story."

"Mike: She's a lovely girl.
Tracy: Yes, isn't she? Ah, but we're afraid she has a homicidal streak."

"Tracy: Do you like my dress?
Uncle Willie: Oh yes, it's quite beautiful.
Tracy: It's awfully heavy."

"Mike: Didn't you once know a girl named Tracy Samantha Lord?
Dexter: Yes, I did.
Mike: No, you didn't! If you did, you wouldn't have let her go!"

"Dexter: Uncle Willy, this morning you look like a tree full of owls."

"Mike: Don't dig that kind of crooning, chum.
Dexter: You must be one of the newer fellows."

"George Kittredge: That's all?
Mike: That's all.
Tracy: Why? Was I so cold? So forbidding?
Mike: Not at all. On the contrary but you were somewhat the worse

or the better for the wine and there are rules about such things."

"Tracy: Oh, it got dark all of a sudden."

"Tracy: I'm such an unholy mess of a girl.
Dexter: Oh, come on, that's not even good conversation, Tracy."

"Mike: Is that for me?
Dexter: It's for Sam, you want one?
Mike: You know how I feel about my grandmother but I'd sell her for a drink.
Dexter: Uncle Willie's in the pantry doing weird and wonderful things with healing waters. Tell him you'd like one of the same.
Mike: Can I ask for two?
Dexter: Keep going till you run out of grandmothers.
Mike: I'll be drinking a long time."
