Quote context

[...]

- When I got home and sat at the phone in five minutes I had what amounts to two offers.

- Well, I congratulate you. I wish you good luck.

- Oh, I see you're reading Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.

- Yes, do you mind?

- No, no. I just didn't expect to meet you in a cafe with Tolstoy, that's all. It's quite a surprise. I didn't know you went in for high literature.

- There are many things you don't know about me, Mr. Kralik.

- Have you read Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky?

- No, I haven't.

- There are many things you don't know about me, Miss Novak. As a matter of fact, there might be a lot we don't know about each other.

- You know, people seldom go to the trouble of scratching the surface of things to find the inner truth.

- Well, I really wouldn't care to scratch your surface, Mr. Kralik, because I know exactly what I'd find. Instead of a heart, a handbag. Instead of a soul, a suitcase. And instead of an intellect a cigarette lighter which doesn't work.

- Yeah, that's a very interesting mixture of poetry and meanness.

- Meanness? Let me tell you...

- Well, now, don't misunderstand me, Miss Novak. I'm only trying to pay you a compliment.

Top rated lines from this movie

Well, True love is to be two, and yet one.-A man and a woman blended as angels. Heaven itself. That's Victor Hugo. He stole that.

Well, it's difficult to explain a man like him to a man like you. Where you would say, Black, he would say, White. Where you would say, Ugly, he says, Beautiful. And where you say, Old maid, he says... Eyes that sparkle with fire and mystery.

You see, I don't like him. I hate to spend a nickel on him. Still, I must give him a present. So I thought if I have to give him a present at least give him something he won't enjoy.

Now, wait a minute. You are the boss. That's right. But I am not going to be a yes man. No, sir. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to contradict you. I do like you!

I think it's romantic. -What's romantic about it? -Well, cigarettes and music. I don't know. It makes me think of moonlight and... cigarettes and music.
