- Sally: I saw a film the other day about syphilis. Ugh! It was too awful. I couldn't let a man touch me for a week. Is it true you can get it from kissing?
- Fritz: Oh, yes. And your king, Henry VIII, got it from Cardinal Wolsey whispering in his ear.
- Natalia: That is not, I believe, founded in fact. But from kissing, most decidedly; and from towels, and from cups.
- Sally: And of course screwing.
- Natalia: Screw-ing, please?
- Sally: Oh, uh...
- [thinking]
- Sally: fornication.
- Natalia: For-ni-ca-tion?
- Sally: Oh, uh, Bri, darling, what is the German word?
- Brian Roberts: I don't remember.
- Sally: [thinking] Oh... um... oh yes!
- Brian Roberts: Oh, no...
- Sally: Bumsen!
- Natalia: [appalled] Oh.
- Brian Roberts: That would be the one German word you pronounce perfectly.
- Sally: Well, I ought to. I spent the entire afternoon bumsening like mad with this ghastly old producer who promised to get me a contract.
- [pause]
- Sally: Gin, Miss Landauer?
- Fritz Wendel: Do you know what she has done to me? It's terrible! She has turned me into an honest man.
- Brian Roberts: How's the, uh, gigolo campaign going?
- Fritz Wendel: Terrible. This week, already I'm giving up three dinner invitations to spend thirty-two marks on her.
- Brian Roberts: That's quite a sacrifice.
- Fritz Wendel: And here's the craziness: I like it. God damn it!
- Brian Roberts: What?
- Fritz Wendel: I think I'm falling in love with her.
- Brian Roberts: Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Fritz Wendel: So am I.
