Roger:
Oh, you're that type.
Eve:
What type?
Roger:
Honest.
Eve:
Not really.
Roger:
Good, because honest women frighten me.
Eve:
Why?
Roger:
I don't know. Somehow they seem to put me at a disadvantage.
Eve:
Because you're not honest with them?
Roger:
Exactly.
...
Roger:
The moment I meet an attractive woman, I have to start pretending I have no desire to make love to her.
Eve:
What makes you think you have to conceal it?
Roger:
She might find the idea objectionable.
Eve:
Then again, she might not.
...
Eve:
I'm Eve Kendall. I'm twenty-six and unmarried. Now you know everything.
Roger:
Tell me. What do you do besides lure men to their doom on the Twentieth Century Limited?
Eve:
I'm an industrial designer.
Roger:
Jack Phillips. Western sales manager for Kingby Electronics.
Eve:
No, you're not. You're Roger Thornhill of Madison Avenue, and you're wanted for murder on every front page in America, and don't be so modest.
Roger:
Whoops!
Eve:
Oh, don't worry, I won't say a word.
Roger:
How come?
Eve:
I told you. It's a nice face.
Roger:
Is that the only reason?
Eve:
It's going to be a long night.
Roger:
True.
Eve:
And I don't particularly like the book I've started.
Roger:
Ahhh.
Eve:
You know what I mean?
Roger:
Uh, let me think. [Pause] Yes, I know exactly what you mean...
