Lady from Shanghai

Michael O'Hara:
Maybe I'll live so long that I'll forget her. Maybe I'll die trying.

Michael O'Hara:
The only way to stay out of trouble is to grow old, so I guess I'll concentrate on that.

Arthur Bannister:
Killing you is killing myself. But, you know, I'm pretty tired of both of us.

Michael O'Hara:
I've always found it very... sanitary to be broke.

Mrs. Elsa 'Rosalie' Bannister:
You need more than luck in Shanghai.

Michael O'Hara:
New York is not as big a city as it pretends to be.

Arthur Bannister, Criminal Lawyer:
You've been traveling around the world too much to find out anything about it.

Bessie, Bannister's Maid/Cook:
You heard him, Mr. Poet. I need the money.

Michael O'Hara:
It's a bright, guilty world.

George Grisby:
Just tell 'em you're taking a little tarrrr-get practice

Arthur Bannister:
You hear that George? You've just been called a shark. If you were a good lawyer you'd take it as a compliment.

Michael O'Hara:
When I start out to make a fool of myself there's very little can stop me.

Michael O'Hara:
Some people can smell danger. Not me.

Michael O'Hara:
That's how I found her and from that moment I did not use my head, except to think about her.

Michael O'Hara:
Personally I don't like a girlfriend to have a husband, if she'll fool a husband she'll fool me.

Arthur Bannister, Criminal Lawyer:
So money doesn't interest you, are you independently wealthy?

Michael O'Hara:
I'm independent.

Arthur Bannister, Criminal Lawyer:
Of money?

Michael O'Hara:
Do all rich women play games like this?

Arthur Bannister, Criminal Lawyer:
Mike's got a lot of blarney but he knows how to hurt a man when he gets mad.

Mrs. Elsa 'Rosalie' Bannister:
I don't know how to shoot?

Michael O'Hara:
It's easy, you just pull the trigger.

Michael O'Hara:
Everybody is somebody's fool.
