  • Michael Trevor: I suppose Paris means something different for everyone. For you, I imagine it means clothes. To Mr. Reynolds, uh, an interlude. Pause between business deals. To your uncle, I daresay it means, uh, change.

  • Mary Kendall: I suppose living in Paris makes up for not having a bowl of chop suey.

  • Michael Trevor: Bon soir, Marie.

  • Michael Trevor: Uh, French.
  • Harry Taylor: And how!
  • Harry Taylor: There was a little redhead at the Folies-Bergere the other night. And let me tell you...
  • Michael Trevor: Ah, yes. I know. I know.
