[Petey and Jeff watch Meta walking away]
Petey:
Nice!
Jeff Bailey:
Awfully cold around the heart.
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
How big a chump can you get to be? I was finding out.
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
You say to yourself, "How hot can it get?" Then, in Acapulco, you find out.
|
|
Jack Fisher:
You know, a dame with a rod is like a guy with a knitting needle.
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
You know, maybe I was wrong and luck is like love. You have to go all the way to find it.
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
I sell gasoline, I make a small profit. With that I buy groceries. The grocer makes a profit. We call it earning a living. You may have heard of it somewhere.
|
|
Whit Sterling:
My feelings? About ten years ago, I hid them somewhere and haven't been able to find them.
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
You can never help anything, can you? You're like a leaf that the wind blows from one gutter to another.
|
|
Kathie Moffett:
Oh, Jeff, I don't want to die!
Jeff Bailey:
Neither do I, baby, but if I have to I'm gonna die last.
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
It was the bottom of the barrel, and I was scraping it.
|
|
Whit Sterling:
Joe couldn't find a prayer in the Bible.
|
|
Kathie Moffett:
Don't you see you've only me to make deals with now?
Jeff Bailey:
Build my gallows high, baby.
|
|
Ann Miller:
She can't be all bad. No one is.
Jeff Bailey:
Well, she comes the closest.
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
I never saw her in the daytime. We seemed to live by night. What was left of the day went away like a pack of cigarettes you smoked. I didn't know where she lived. I never followed her. All I ever had to go on was a place and time to see her again. I don't know what we were waiting for. Maybe we thought the world would end.
|
|
Ann Miller:
They say the day you die your name is written in the clouds.
|
|
Kathie Moffat:
I didn't know what I was doing. I, I didn't know anything except how much I hated him. But I didn't take anything. I didn't, Jeff. Don't you believe me?
Jeff Bailey:
Baby, I don't care.
|
|
[Kathie is playing roulette]
Jeff Bailey:
That's not the way to win.
Kathie Moffat:
Is there a way to win?
Jeff Bailey:
There's a way to lose more slowly.
|
|
Kathie Moffett:
I think we deserve a break.
Jeff Bailey:
We deserve each other.
|
|
Leonard Eels:
All women are wonders, because they reduce all men to the obvious.
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
[answering the door] Well, the last guy in the world...
Whit Sterling:
I hate surprises myself. You wanna just shut the door and forget it?
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
Now, do you wanna talk business, or do you wanna play house...?
|
|
Whit Sterling:
You just sit and stay inside yourself. You wait for me to talk. I like that.
Jeff Bailey:
I never found out much listening to myself.
|
|
Kathie Moffett:
Can't you even feel sorry for me?
Jeff Bailey:
I'm not going to try.
Kathie Moffett:
Jeff ...
Jeff Bailey:
Just get out, will you? I have to sleep in this room.
|
|
Kathie Moffett:
Oh Jeff, you ought to have killed me for what I did a minute ago.
Jeff Bailey:
[dryly] There's still time.
|
|
Jeff Bailey:
[allowing one slap but blocking a second] That evens us. Now fold your hands or I'll fold 'em for you!
