Quotes

Darling Lili

Edit
  • Lili Smith: But then, why *does* he drink?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Because he's afraid to fly.
  • Lili Smith: Then why does he fly?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Because he likes to drink!
  • Lt. George 'Youngblood' Carson: My grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian.
  • Lili Smith: How exciting.
  • Lt. George 'Youngblood' Carson: It was for my granddaddy.
  • Lili Smith: The filthy, scheming, cheating, faking, lying, egotistic, self-indulgent, hedonistic, son of a...
  • [door slam]
  • Maj. William Larrabee: I thought we'd go on a picnic.
  • Lili Smith: At 3:00 in the morning?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: It's the best time. No ants.
  • T.C: Well, nice to see you up and about again; even though you are - sitting down.
  • Colonel Kurt Von Ruger: Try to look reasonably happy. After all, it isn't every day that a German spy is awarded the French Legion of Honor.
  • Maj. William Larrabee: The lives of hundreds, *thousands* of men depend upon Operation Crêpes Suzette being kept a secret. So what in the name of hellish vanity makes you'd think I'd compromise that in the name of your adolescent, narcissistic ego?
  • Lili Smith: *My* ego?
  • Lili Smith: I'm getting weary of diplomats and old generals.
  • Lili Smith: [singing] Smile away each rainy day, And laugh away your blues...
  • Bedford: The unofficial headquarters of Major Larrabee's squadron is the Café Can-Can.
  • Lili Smith: [singing] So walk me back home, my darling, Tell me dreams really come true, Whistling, whistling here in the dark with you...
  • Lili Smith: [singing] Doughboys weary, cold and lonely, Know her as their one and only...
  • Lili Smith: [kiss] Would it be indiscreet to say that I missed you?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: No.
  • Lili Smith: To say that I missed you terribly?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Not quite.
  • Lili Smith: Desperately?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Possibly.
  • Lili Smith: Passionately?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Definitely.
  • Lili Smith: Would you settle for desperately?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: I'll settle for passionately.
  • Lili Smith: Ohhh. What about my reputation?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: I'll risk it.
  • Lili Smith: I have champagne, caviar, marinated truffles, brilliant foie gras, and half a dozen assorted Hungarian gypsies.
  • Lili Smith: Sounds delicious.
  • Major Duvalle: He's being - coerced.
  • Lili Smith: He's being - seduced?
  • Major Duvalle: Yes.
  • Lt. George 'Youngblood' Carson: I'm a little drunk, but there's somethin' I just gotta say. Ma'am, you are an inspiration.
  • Lili Smith: Thank you.
  • Lt. George 'Youngblood' Carson: I heard you sing in London and you sang:
  • [singing]
  • Lt. George 'Youngblood' Carson: It's a long way to Sipperary...
  • Colonel Kurt Von Ruger: The information you've extracted from Major Larrabee has greatly exceeded our expectations and, uh, should the need for - more persuasive measures arise, I'm sure that you'll be up to it.
  • Lili Smith: Um, yes. But, will Major Larrabee?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: It's so important I can't even tell you. It isn't that I don't trust you, it's just a matter of national security. I wouldn't even tell my own mother.
  • Lili Smith: [long kiss] What was all that talk about top secret missions and Crêpes Suzette?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Just talk. You know, I think you're some kind of a spy.
  • Lili Smith: If I told you I was?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: I know lots of military secrets.
  • Lili Smith: Goood.
  • [kiss]
  • Lili Smith: Back in a minute to pry them out of you.
  • Lili Smith: I want whatever happens this weekend to be honest.
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Well, since I have nothing to gain by lying to you: I think you're the most provocative, exciting, and most desirable woman I've ever met.
  • Lili Smith: I'll buy that.
  • Lili Smith: You've got to admit, seduction can really be very funny, if you stop to think about it.
  • Maj. William Larrabee: But you aren't supposed to stop to think about it.
  • Lili Smith: Get out of here!
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Not until we settle this.
  • Lili Smith: We have nothing to settle!
  • Maj. William Larrabee: To hell there isn't!
  • Lili Smith: Go settle it with Suzette!
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Suzette, my foot.
  • Lili Smith: Suzette, my crêpes. Get out of my shower! What are you doing? Ahh! Ahh!
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Now, let's have it!
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Choke it!
  • Lili Smith: I'd be delighted!
  • Maj. William Larrabee: [standing clothed in a shower, Lili wrapped in a towel] I think maybe you have to come up with excuses just to avoid the moment of truth.
  • Lili Smith: What?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: In a word, Miss Smith, I think it's just possible that you're a virgin.
  • Lili Smith: Oh!
  • [slaps Bill, he grabs her, kisses her, she drops her towel]
  • Lili Smith: Bill...
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Yeah?
  • Lili Smith: Turn on the warm water.
  • [Bill turns it on]
  • Lili Smith: Oh...
  • Lt. Liggett: How does she know that the code book was under the mattress?
  • Major Duvalle: How do I know how she knew that the code book was under the mattress? You must forgive him, ma'am. How did you know that the code book was under the mattress?
  • Colonel Kurt Von Ruger: For someone who's always been the personification of quick-wittedness and indefectible judgment, you are suddenly making decisions with all the cunning of headless chicken!
  • Lili Smith: You can take my word for it that Operation Crêpes Suzette has *never* existed, except - in bed. And no doubt he's operating - *right* now.
  • Colonel Kurt Von Ruger: You sound jealous.
  • Lili Smith: Oh, don't be an ass!
  • Crepe Suzette: Oui!
  • [singing]
  • Crepe Suzette: 'Cause baby, I'm going to make you at home! Or on zee Left Bank, I'm going to make you at home, Or on zee *Right* Bank, I'm going to make you at hoooome!
  • Crepe Suzette: [singing] Your Good-Will Ambassador, Would like to feel, You're enjoying your stay, If you"re calm and placid or, If you got red hot desire to roam, I want to get you all to know Paree, For there's a fast Paree! And there's a slooow Paree, We'll do the whole big sexy potpourri...
  • Maj. William Larrabee: What do you mean - "poof"?
  • Maj. William Larrabee: Think we can do it?
  • T.C: Yes, but *you'd* better fly, cause I haven't been drinking.
