Olive 'Ollie' Frey
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: How old are you?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Twenty-one.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Engaged?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Not yet.
- Count Von Tolheim: A sweetheart?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Oh, no!
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Poor child. Twenty-one and and no sweetheart? Addicted to "Love at Dawn" perfume. Smartly dressed. Silk stockings over perfect legs. An exquisite pair of shoulders. In short, a very distracting young woman.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: [giggles] Oh, Baron!
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Miss Frey, you'll please report yourself to the head of the Personnel Department.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: What for?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: To tell the manager that you are no longer employed here. Your career as a woman - is too promising for me to wreck.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Why do you always repeat after me, Miss Frey?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Pardon me, Baron. I do that in order to keep up with you. You dictate too rapidly.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: I do everything rapidly!
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Oh, Baron.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Don't you think his heart beats faster when I leaned against him by accident.
- Susie Sachs: By accident?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: By intentional accident. And how men love it! It's like this. A quick movement! Your hand touches his for a breathtaking second. You pull away and say naively, "Oh, pardon me." He murmurs something.
- Susie Sachs: I wonder...
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: The air is charged with electricity! He struggles for his self-control. Just as he almost has it...
- Susie Sachs: Yes?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: You start all over again and then his arms begin to ache to hold you. They steal around and if you're a smart girl you say, "Oh, no, you mustn't."
- Susie Sachs: And then he stops?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Stops? Of course he doesn't stop. He goes on! He pulls you closer. You struggle! But, not much.
- Susie Sachs: What does he say?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Oh, it doesn't matter. You don't care! You're head begins to whirl. A delicious faintness sweeps over you. His eyes burn into yours.
- Susie Sachs: His eyes!
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: His mouth comes closer. You are limp. You resist no more. Your eyelashes flutter down. You can see no longer. All you know is the wonderful strength of his embrace!
- Susie Sachs: And then?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: He kisses you!
- Susie Sachs: And then?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: And then - say, just how far do you want me to go?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Can't you see? I'm hanging over your head like a ripe peach. If you'd only give the tree a little shake.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: You're very charming. Very.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Am I? Oh, I know I'm nothing much out of the ordinary. A little bit pretty. A little bit wise. A little bit willing. A little bit absentminded.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Are you absentminded tonight?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Oh, very!
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: I thought it made men happy at their work to see a pretty woman about?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Men don't come here to be happy. They come tarn their daily bread. Women are for non-working hours. And you're much too pretty and soft and seductive! You distract me!
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Miss Frey, you're much too pretty to be caged in a bank.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Can I help it if I'm pretty?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: No woman should look pretty who works in a bank. It disturbs the bankers. Takes the eyes of the tellers away from the bills and currency. The clerks become confused with their columns. It's dangerous. Invites disaster.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Yes! I see it! But, I've seen better!
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Why, I didn't think you could see my, eh...
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: No. Of course not! But, leave your skirts down - during office hours.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: I say, Miss Frey, why do you wear your dress so low?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Is it low?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Is it low - you know perfectly well it's low!
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Well, I'm sorry if my shoulders annoy you.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: It's not only your shoulders, it's the whole area. You're, eh - I don't like it!
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: You mean, eh...
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Low necks, bare shoulders in bank hours - don't mix! Make a note: all female employees at this establishment must wear long sleeves and high necks.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: All women rob men of their time.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Here, Miss Frey, you are not a woman!
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: What am I then?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Just a writing machine and don't forget it again.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: What are you doing here? Well?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: I, eh, I thought you might want me to go on with the dictation.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: You didn't really mean that I was to go, did you?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: I never say anything I don't mean.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: It was wonderful taking dictation from you.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Oh, Baron! You're very dear to me.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: And I suspect, before we're finished, you're going to be dear to me.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Go to the cashiers office. Tell him to give you six months salary. And leave your telephone number with Ludwig. I'll call you when I'm in a proper - or, rather, an improper mood.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: You're a darling. I'm so happy!
- Susie Sachs: Do you wish to make an appointment to see the Baron?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Don't bother. I'll call him on the telephone.
- Susie Sachs: I answer the telephone.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: I'll call him in his room, late. You won't answer it then, will you?
- Susie Sachs: Of course not.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: I didn't think you would.
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Tell me, what brings you to Paris?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: I thought you might like to see me. Remember what you said about a weak moment? Well, you feel weak enough now?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Where will we go?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: We'll have cocktails at The Ritz.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: And then?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: We'll dine and dance at the Perroquet.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Then?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: Visit several places in Montmartre.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: And then, Baron?
- Baron Josef von Ullrich: [laughs] Well, you won't need your typewriter.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: What a child you are! Not to know that the minute a man is told he can't see a woman, he lets nothing keep him from her. Tonight, you turned me into a sort of a forbidden fruit. And you remember what happened to Adam?
- Susie Sachs: Yes, he got mixed up with a snake.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Well, you've thrown him right into a snake's arms.
- Susie Sachs: How vulgar you are!
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: You think it's vulgar to be in a man's arms? If it is, I hope I never get refined.
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: Since you're tossing around bouquets, I'll hand you one. You're a very pretty girl yourself. Quite a decent figure. Really, a sweet little shape. But, it's no use to you. You don't know what to do with it.
- Susie Sachs: What do you mean by that?
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: I mean you don't know how to make men realize you have "it". Your one ambition is to be a perfect machine. But, you've never learned how to be a woman.
- Susie Sachs: I don't understand what he sees in a creature like you!
- Olive 'Ollie' Frey: He sees a woman that's warm and human. Who's skin is soft and perfumed. Who isn't afraid to let herself go! A woman who understands all his little weaknesses.
