Quotes 

  • Mimi Glossop : I hope you like what I ordered. I've never had breakfast with two men before.

    Guy Holden : I've tried it. It's no fun.

  • Mimi : You?

    Guy : [looking around]  Yes. It's me.

  • Mimi Glossop : Oh, here you are Hortense. I've just had the most embarrassing experience. A man tore my dress off!

    Aunt Hortense : My goodness! Anyone we know?

  • Guy Holden : I was chasing you, you shouldn't run away like that.

    Mimi Glossop : Why not?

    Guy Holden : It's bad for my health.

  • Mimi : I don't care what you did as a boy.

    Guy : Well, I did nothing as a girl, so there goes my childhood.

  • Mimi Glossop : I really can't eat a thing.

    Aunt Hortense : But you must eat. After all, you can't have a divorce on an empty stomach.

  • Mimi Glossop : Well, aren't you even astonished?

    Aunt Hortense : Me? Astonished? I haven't been astonished since I was 8. And mind you, I wasn't precocious just moderately intelligent.

  • Mimi Glossop : Please don't ask me to stay.

    Guy Holden : All right, I won't. Don't go, I've so many things to say to you.

    [singing] 

    Guy Holden : Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom when the jungle shadows fall, Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock as it stands against the wall, Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops when the summer shower is through, So a voice within me keeps repeating, you, you, you, Night and day you are the one...

  • Mimi Glossop : Oh don't leave me, I can't bear to face him. He seems so different.

    Aunt Hortense : Oh, there's nothing different about any of them except the neckties.

  • Guy Holden : That negligee is charming, charming. From Paris, isn't it?

    Mimi : You ought to know. You've probably seen plenty of them.

    Guy Holden : Well, a few, of course.

    Mimi : Of course.

  • Guy Holden : It's not a bad tune, what is it?

    Mimi Glossop : The newest thing over here, it's called "The Continental".

    Guy Holden : "The Continental"? Oh. I like it. It's the second thing I found I'd like to take back home with me. Do you know the words?

    Mimi Glossop : [singing]  A beautiful music, Dangerous rhythm...

  • Mimi Glossop : I hope you like what I ordered. You know, I've never had breakfast with two gentlemen before.

    Guy Holden : I've tried it, it's no fun.

  • Mimi Glossop : Aren't the shadows on the sand lovely?

    Guy Holden : Yes they are, lovely.

    Mimi Glossop : And the light on the water. The edge of the cloud crossing the moon. Look, it's coming out. Look Guy, it's coming out.

    Guy Holden : It came out.

    Mimi Glossop : Oh, isn't it beautiful?

  • Guy Holden : I still don't know what you're doing down here.

    Mimi Glossop : I came down with my aunt.

    Guy Holden : Isn't that a coincidence? I'm here with my aunt too. Aunt Egbert.

  • Guy Holden : That doesn't sound like the prisoners' song to me. It's not a bad tune. What is it?

    Mimi Glossop : It's the newest thing over here. It's called the Continental.

    Guy Holden : The Continental?

    Mimi Glossop : Mm-hmm.

    Guy Holden : Oh. I like it. That's the second thing I've found I'd like to take back home with me.

  • Mimi Glossop : Do you believe in that kind of destiny?

    Guy Holden : Of course I do. In these things there's no such a thing as... as chance. Chance is the fool's name for fate.

  • Mimi Glossop : Please don't ask me to stay.

    Guy Holden : All right, I won't. Don't go!

  • Guy Holden : Can I offer you anything? Frosted chocolate? Cointreau? Benedictine? Marriage?

    Mimi Glossop : What was that last one?

    Guy Holden : Benedictine?

    Mimi Glossop : No, the one after that.

    Guy Holden : Oh, marriage?

    Mimi Glossop : Do you always propose marriage as casually as that?

    Guy Holden : There is nothing casual about it. In fact, I've given it long and sincere thought.

  • Mimi Glossop : Would you mind moving your car? Or don't you want it anymore?

  • Mimi Glossop : This is my affair!

  • Guy Holden : I had to come down here just overnight. A little business.

    Mimi Glossop : Oh yes, I saw quite a few of them in bathing suits this afternoon.

  • Mimi Glossop : Some people will do anything for money.

    Guy Holden : Oh, it's not as bad as all that. After all, I do bring pleasure to thousands of people.

    Mimi Glossop : Thousands?

    Guy Holden : Yes, tens of thousands. I bring romance to tens of thousands of shop girls, servant girls, stenographers.

    Mimi Glossop : You might spare me, Mr. Bluebeard.
