Eva Marie Saint (Eve Kendall): I
tipped the steward five dollars to seat you here if you should come in.
Cary Grant (Roger Thornhill): Is that a proposition?
Eva
Marie Saint (Eve): I never discuss love on an empty stomach.
Cary
Grant (Roger): You've already eaten!
Eva Marie Saint (Eve): But
you haven't.
Cary Grant (Roger): And what the devil is all this
about? Why was I brought here?
James Mason (Phillip Vandamm): Games,
must we?
Cary Grant (Roger): Not that I mind a slight case of
abduction now and then, but I have tickets for the theater this evening, to a
show I was looking forward to and I get, well, kind of unreasonable about
things like that.
James Mason (Vandamm): With such expert
playacting, you make this very room a theater.
Cary Grant
(Roger): In the world of advertising, there's no such thing as a lie.
There's only expedient exaggeration.
Eva Marie Saint (Eve): I'm
a big girl.
Cary Grant (Roger): Yeah, and in all the right places,
too.
Cary Grant (Roger): What's wrong with men like me?
Eva Marie Saint (Eve): They don't believe in marriage.
Cary
Grant (Roger): I've been married twice.
Eva Marie Saint (Eve):
See what I mean?
James Mason (Vandamm):This matter is best
disposed of from a great height, over water.
Cary Grant (Roger):
Now, what can a man do with his clothes off for twenty minutes? Couldn't he
have taken an hour?
Eva Marie Saint (Eve): You could always take a
cold shower.
Cary Grant (Roger): I'm an advertising man, not a
red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several
bartenders dependent upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by
getting myself slightly killed.

thought Stewart looked too old.
Speaking of age, the woman who plays
Cary Grant's mother, Jessie Royce Landis, was actually 10 months younger than

permission to film an attempted murder on or near the face of a national
icon.
