• Bartholomew Van Steed : i've never seen a lady smoke a cigarette before.

  Clio Dulaine : It's a continental custom, i suppose. I've smoked since I was a baby.

  Bartholomew Van Steed : Yes, but - people will - well, in a hotel, people talk.

  Clio Dulaine : How kind of you to protect me like that. I'm not used to american ways, but a cigarette - a cigarette is sometimes cozy when one is lonely. Don't you find it so, Mr. Van Steed?

  Bartholomew Van Steed : I'm a cigar smoker myself.

  Clio Dulaine : Oh, but of course. So masculine.

• Clio Dulaine : Angelique, bring a cocktail for Monsieur Van Steed.

  Bartholomew Van Steed : No, thank you. I never drink. My digestion.

  Clio Dulaine : Of course. I've noticed that strong men so often have weak digestions.

• Bartholomew Van Steed : You know, you're delightful when you're angry. I like a woman with spirit.

• Bartholomew Van Steed : I'm not obliged to explain my behavior to a lot of harpies on a hotel piazza.

• Clio Dulaine : Mr. Van Steed, what manner of country is this? I hear there are hordes of roughs. They fight - fight like savages for a railroad. Where are the laws? Where are the police?

  Bartholomew Van Steed : That's nothing for you to worry your pretty head about. That's a man's business.
