Steve Canfield
- Steve Canfield: Ninotchka, don't you like me at all?
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: The arrangement of your features is not entirely repulsive to me.
- Steve Canfield: Oh, thank you. Thank you. Don't you think in time, you might go a little further than that?
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: I have not seen the rest of you.
- Steve Canfield: So you may have to persuade him
- Peggy Dainton: How can I persuade him if you can't?
- Steve Canfield: Because...
- [looking at her figure]
- Steve Canfield: We're built differently.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: In Russia when somebody wants someone they say, "You, come here."
- Steve Canfield: Oh, you mad romantic Russians!
- Steve Canfield: [singing] Paris loves lovers, For lovers it's heaven above. Paris tells lovers, "Love is supreme, Wake up your dream, And make love!" Only in Paris one discovers, The urge to merge, With the spurge, Of the spring...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Please don't make an issue of my womanhood.
- Steve Canfield: I was looking forward to it.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Your attitude is typical of the male in capitalistic society. You will soon be extinct.
- Steve Canfield: How long have I got left?
- Steve Canfield: Don't you ever feel so happy that you just want to dance all around the room?
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Happiness is the reward of industry and labor. Dancing is a waste of time.
- Steve Canfield: Well, I like wasting time.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: I want to ask you a serious question. Are you flirting with me?
- Steve Canfield: Of course. No question about it.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Suppress it.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Where is the little comrade's room?
- Steve Canfield: Oh, just at the end of the hall.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: You are an American?
- Steve Canfield: Yes, ma'am.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Tell me, in America, are you one of the oppressors or one of the oppressed?
- Steve Canfield: Oh, one of the oppressors, definitely.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Aren't you ashamed?
- Steve Canfield: Come, now. As one oppressor to the other, you know its the best spot to be in.
- Steve Canfield: You ought to play Portia.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: I have. In Gorky's "Merchant of Venice."
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Why can't you understand this is no laughing matter?
- Steve Canfield: Comrade, we're in Paris, in the Spring, why can't we make it a laughing matter?
- Steve Canfield: I didn't do anything to the commissars. Paris did! It did it to them. It did it to me. It'll do it to you.
- Steve Canfield: Don't you ever have any desires to see the pleasures of Paris?
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Pleasures - Paris - how was you said, "the urge to merge with a splurge"?
- Steve Canfield: That's right!
- [singing]
- Steve Canfield: Paris...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Capitalistic!
- Steve Canfield: Loves lovers...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Characteristic.
- Steve Canfield: For lovers...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Sensualistic!
- Steve Canfield: Is heaven above.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: They should be atheistic.
- Steve Canfield: Paris...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Imperialistic!
- Steve Canfield: Tells lovers...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: I'm pessimistic.
- Steve Canfield: Love is supreme, wake up your dream, and make love!
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: That's anti-Communistic!
- Steve Canfield: Paris...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Militaristic!
- Steve Canfield: One discovers...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: You're optimistic.
- Steve Canfield: The urge to merge with the splurge of the Spring.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Bourgeoisie propaganda.
- Steve Canfield: Paris...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Unrealistic.
- Steve Canfield: Love's lovers, for lovers know that love...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Is individualistic.
- Steve Canfield: Is...
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: And not at all collectivistic.
- Steve Canfield: Everything.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: [Steve kisses Ninotchka] Why do you do that?
- Steve Canfield: Because you're absurd and irresistible.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Is this what is known as the courtship?
- Steve Canfield: Yeah. The build up. The pitch.
- Ninotchka Yoschenko: Then I shall get out my little black book and make notes.
