You know, the majority of women, they have half a glass too much, and let down the barriers a little. Then they wake up in the morning riddled with guilt, and think they can reclaim their virtue by saying, 'I don't remember.'

— Sir Charles Lytton (David Niven)

Quote context

[...]

- My leaving has nothing to do with last night.

- Hasn't it?

- You don't know me very well, Sir Charles.

- No, but I thought last night I was making some progress.

- That was champagne, nothing more.

- Well, whatever it was, it was very interesting.

- I really don't remember.

- Oh, come on now. That's such an awful old cliche, 'I don't remember.' -It's true!

- You know, the majority of women, they have half a glass too much, and let down the barriers a little. Then they wake up in the morning riddled with guilt, and think they can reclaim their virtue by saying, 'I don't remember.'

- Are you saying my virtue is not intact?

- You know it is.

- Then why should I feel guilty?

- You're not concerned about what happened. You're worried about what might have happened. That makes you vulnerable. That makes you a woman.

- You're an arrogant fool.

- Perhaps I am, but after what I just said, a real woman would've slapped my face.

- Whew, I'm glad that's over. Friends again?

- Friends.
