Tanya: He was some kind of a man. What does it matter what you say about people?

Antonio Galvan: You're a very beautiful woman. It's easy to see why men should lose their heads over you.
Concha Perez: Is it easy?


--Marlene Dietrich (as ) in The Devil is a Woman

Senora Perez: How I worry when I see my daughter leave in the morning.
Concha Perez: How can you say that, Mother, when you sleep all day?

Theodore Honey: I estimated a required speed of 420 miles per hour to bring the forces into equilebrium. This can be obtained by a dominal flight path of 27 degrees below the horizontal. That angle would keep us from plunging straight in although at that speed the impact would be rather severe, see?
Monica Teasdale: I see, I don't see it all of course, but I do understand that when you think something out, you don't stop halfway do you?

Theodore Honey: Oh there'll really be a delay for everybody now won't there?
Marjorie Corder: I don't think there's any doubt about that. Tell me why...
Monica Teasdale: [enters] He did do it, didn't he?
Marjorie Corder: Yes I'm afraid he did.
Monica Teasdale: If you believe in something, you believe in doing something about it, don't you?
Theodore Honey: Well they wouldn't listen to me and the lever was right there so I just *keh* pulled it.
Monica Teasdale: That's sticking your neck out pretty far isn't it if you just thought it was going to crash?
Theodore Honey: I tried to get them to ground the airplane, they wouldn't listen to me and the lever was right there so I just, I...
Monica Teasdale: You just pulled it. Don't those things cost an awful lot of money?
Theodore Honey: Oh a tremendous amount of money! This is going to cause a good deal of trouble.
Monica Teasdale: I should think it might.
Theodore Honey: I don't know what they're going to do. I've never had any experience with anything like this before.
Monica Teasdale: I should think nobody has. I think this is a kind of world record.

Theodore Honey: You make people happy you've never even met. Like my wife Marian. You know she took me to see one of your pictures that last night before the bomb came. She talked about it a lot w hen we got home. You made that last night very happy for her. That's worth doing, Miss Teasdale. You know when we used to go to pictures, we used to walk right out when Marian didn't like them. We never walked out on one of your pictures.
Monica Teasdale: Mister Hoeny, this is not really the best compliment I've ever had, maybe it's the nicest.
Theodore Honey: That's why I had to tell you what I did. I have to do everything I can for you.
Monica Teasdale: You mean it too, don't you?
[cries]
Monica Teasdale: You scientists are always so busy figuring out things, why don't you figure out a mascara that won't run?

Sir Wilfrid: Be prepared for hysterics and even a fainting spell. Better have smelling salts handy and a nip of brandy.
Christine Vole: I do not think that will be necessary. I never faint because I am not sure that I will fall gracefully and I never use smelling salts because they puff up the eyes. I am Christine Vole.


--Marlene Dietrich (as Christine) in Witness for the Prosecution

Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar: Aren't you afraid of anything, Concha? Have you no fear of death?
Concha Perez: No. Not today. I feel too happy. Why do you ask? Are you going to kill me?


--Marlene Dietrich (as ) in The Devil is a Woman

Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar: I've been thinking things over for some time now, and I'll be happy to make you my wife. Then no one could speak ill of you.
Concha Perez: But no one speaks ill of me now!


--Marlene Dietrich (as ) in The Devil is a Woman

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: You appear to be nervous. Sleep would do you more good.
Shanghai Lily: What makes you think I'm nervous?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: For one thing, your hands are trembling.
Shanghai Lily: It's because you touched me, Doc.
