Top rated lines from this movie

I don't like traveling. Makes me homesick. If I can't see the same old streets when I open my eyes in the morning, I want to go right back to sleep.
Oh, yes, my dear. Your hotel bores me. The headwaiter looks like an undertaker and every time I step into this apartment it looks more like a funeral parlor.
They can't keep me here! I'm free! Free to go! I'm sick of it! All of you. I'm sick of listening to you. And I'm sick of looking at you.
You're so quiet. -I'm looking at you. I can't speak when I do that.
Nice friends you have. -In business, one cannot choose.
