Peter Dawes : But popcorn--ah, popcorn was made for watching the world go by. Look. I stick my hand in the bag without taking my eyes off the street. I throw some popcorn in my craw. I chew... and I'm still looking. That's what I call class.
Marilyn David : Sure. Peanut-eaters don't know how to live.

Marilyn David : About love?
Peter Dawes : About love.
Marilyn David : I think when it hits me, I'll start running three feet off the ground.
Peter Dawes : You can duplicate that with a shot of bourbon on an empty stomach.
