Marianne Horne: [observing diamond rings being placed onto velvet cushions by Hollander] Oh look! All the little jewels going virtuously to bed for Papa!
Hollander the Jeweler: Their Papa prefers them less virtuous. There's no profit in sleeping at home.
Marianne Horne: A-ha! I must remember that!

Marianne Horne: They are silly to expect a woman to tell the truth about what happened when she was alone with a man!

Marianne Horne: What a shame to meet a man like that in a shop.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Why a shame?
Marianne Horne: He's the sort of robber one should meet in a Pullman!
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: What do you mean?
Marianne Horne: Didn't you see in the paper?
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: No!
Marianne Horne: Last week an American woman was robbed in the Simplon Express. Stripped right down to her teddies!
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: *No*!
Marianne Horne: What would you do if you found yourself in your teddies?
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: What would *you* do??
Marianne Horne: Let the train go on!
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: [laughing] Lost soul!
Marianne Horne: When I'm travelling at the rate of 80 miles per hour, I'm not responsible for my actions.

Johann Christian Lenz, Nightwatchman: Always be suspicious. Don't be fooled by anybody. Anything strange, if it ain't more than a mouse's whisker -- call the police.
Robber: There's a man for you!

Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: I'm curious to know how you were led astray.
Robber: Well, I began life as a little boy--
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: I'm glad to hear that you kept to the same sex.
Robber: Yes. It's a family tradition.

Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Oh, they're too heavenly! This necklace--where did you get it?
Robber: At a charity ball.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: What courage!
Robber: No, merely nimble fingers. The lady stood beside me. The Prince of Wales was announced. I could have removed her dress.

Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: There now, you can go!
Marianne Horne: Be displeased with me! I can't help it. I'm a respectable woman and I'm afraid.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Don't you think I'm afraid? I shan't close my eyes all night.
Marianne Horne: Well, this is *one* night I shall be very glad to be with my husband!

Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: This is awful!
Robber: Why? I'm having a very good time. Won't you sit down?
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: You behave exactly as though you were paying a call!
Robber: I am. After a very brief and informal introduction, I'm now making a formal call.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Through the window...
Robber: But only to preserve your reputation. I came very discreetly by way of a drain pipe.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: That's not legal!

(as The Robber)

Robber: As a matter of fact, I'm opposed to the American school of banditry. I studied in Paris. You have to work harder but you do acquire a certain finesse that is missing from the stick-em-up and shoot-them-down school.

Robber: The last place anybody would think of looking for me is in your bedroom.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Oh, so you expect to stay here until morning?
Robber: I'm forced to. Tomorrow the chase starts all over again. I must have a peaceful night.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: A peaceful night in *my bedroom?*
