Top rated lines from this movie

People do fall in love. People do belong to each other because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness.
I don't even want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is, but I know what it's like. It's like Tiffany's.

You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing. And you're terrified somebody's going to stick you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself.
