Oliver:
[about a statue] Who's it supposed to be?

Irena:
King John.

Oliver:
Oh - King John, the Magna Carta and all that stuff.

Irena:
No, King John of Serbia. He was a fine king. He drove the Marmalukes out of Serbia and freed the people.

Oliver:
Well, why have this around?

Irena:
Well, perhaps you have in your room a picture of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln.

Oliver:
Well, what does it mean?...Why is he spearing that cat?

Irena:
Oh, it's not really a cat. It's meant to represent the evil ways into which my village had once fallen. You see, the Marmalukes came to Serbia long ago, and they made the people slaves. Well, at first, the people were good and worshiped God in a true Christian way. But little by little, the people changed. When King John drove out the Marmalukes and came to our village, he found dreadful things. People bowed down to Satan and said their masses to him. They had become witches and were evil, but King John put some of them to the sword and some, the wisest and the most wicked, escaped into the mountains...Those who escaped, the wicked ones, their legend haunts the village where I was born.

Irena:
I was watching you.

Oliver:
That was fun?

Irena:
Mmm-hmm.

Oliver:
Do you love me, Irena? [She nods] You know I love you, don't you? I've never kissed you. Do you know, that's funny.

Irena:
Why?

Oliver:
When people in America are in love, or even think they're in love, they've usually kissed long ago. Well? [She bites her lip] Irena, what's wrong?

Irena:
I've lived in dread of this moment. I've never wanted to love you. I've stayed away from people. I lived alone. I didn't want this to happen.

Oliver:
But you just told me you loved me.

Irena:
I do. I do! I've fled from the past. Some things you could never know, or understand, evil things, evil.

Oliver:
Now, you've told me something of the past, about King John and the witches in the village and the Cat People who descended from them. They're fairy-tales, Irena, fairy tales heard in your childhood, nothing more than that. They have nothing to do with you, really. You're Irena, you're here in America. You're so normal you're even in love with me, Oliver Reed, a good plain Americano. You're so normal you're gonna marry me, and those fairy-tales, you can tell 'em to our children. They'll love 'em.

Oliver:
What is it, darling?

Irena:
I'm going to beg...

Oliver:
Mrs. Reed.

Irena:
It's nice to hear that. Nice. I want to be Mrs. Reed.

Oliver:
You are.

Irena:
But I want to be Mrs. Reed, really. I want to be everything that name means to me. And I can't. I can't. Oliver, be kind, be patient. Let me have time. Time to get over that feeling there's something evil in me.

Oliver:
Darling, you have all the time there is in the world if you want it. And all the patience and kindness there is in me.

Irena:
Only a little time, Oliver, I don't want more than that.

Oliver:
Irena, I've been trying to kid you out of it. Maybe that's wrong...I've tried to make you realize all these stories that worry you are so much nonsense, but now I see it's not the stories. It's the fact that you believe them. We've got to have help, Irena. ([She glances at the statue of the knight impaling the cat] Not that sort of help, there's something wrong and we have to face it in an intelligent way. We don't need a King John with fire and sword, we need someone who can find the reason for your belief and cure it. That's what we need - a psychiatrist.

Irena:
Find one for me, Oliver, the best one, the very best one.

Irena:
What should I tell my husband? Naturally, he's anxious to have some word.

Dr. Judd:
What does one tell a husband? One tells him nothing.

Irena:
How can you discuss such things, such intimate things about me? How much did you tell her?

Oliver:
Oh, you can tell Alice anything, she's such a good egg - she can understand anything.

Irena:
There are some things a woman doesn't want other women to understand.

Irena:
Oliver, we should never quarrel, never let me feel jealousy or anger. Whatever is in me is held in, is kept harmless, when I'm happy.

Oliver:
I'll turn handsprings, darling. I'll dance in the streets to make you happy.

– Cat People  Movie Quote

Oliver:
You know, it's a funny thing, I've never been unhappy before. Things have always gone swell for me. I had a grand time as a kid, lots of fun at school, here at the office with you and the Commodore and Doc. That's why I don't know what to do about all this, I've just never been unhappy...

Alice):
I can't help it. I just can't help it. I can't bear to see you unhappy. I love you too darn much, and I don't care if you do know it, Ollie. I love you. I'm sorry, forget it. There's Irena - you're in love with her.

Oliver:
I don't know. All this trouble has made me think, I don't know what love really is. I don't know even whether I'm in love with Irena.

Alice:
I know what love is. It's understanding. It's you and me and let the rest of the world go by. It's just the two of us living our lives together, happily and proudly. No self-torture and no doubt. It's enduring and it's everlasting. Nothing can change it. Nothing can change us, Ollie. That's what I think love is.

Oliver:
Well, that's not the way I feel about Irena. It's a different feeling. I'm drawn to her. There's a warmth from her that pulls at me. I have to watch her when she's in the room. I have to touch her when she's near. But I don't really know her. In many ways, we're strangers.

Alice:
You and I - [she grasps his hand] - we'll never be strangers.

Irena:
I don't feel you can help me. You're very wise, you know a great deal, yet when you speak of the soul, you mean the mind, and it is not my mind that is troubled.

Dr. Judd:
What a clever girl, all the psychologists have tried for years to find that subtle difference between mind and soul - and you've found it.

Irena:
It does seem presumptuous of me, doesn't it? Goodbye, doctor.

[Alice shivers] You cold?

Alice:
A cat just walked over my grave.

– Cat People  Movie Quote

Alice:
How much do you believe about the cat people?

Dr. Judd:
I believe...exactly as I told Mrs. Reed. The story is a product of her own fear - her own overworked imagination.

Alice:
Twice, I've been followed by something that was not human, something that attempted to take my life. I believe that was the cat form of Irena.

Dr. Judd:
Why should she wish to harm you?

Alice:
Because I'm in love with her husband.

Dr. Judd:
Oh, my dear Miss Moore, the story grows more and more charming, simpler too, all the time. You're both victims of fear. Mrs. Reed fears the past and you fear the present. Mrs. Reed has a very strong imagination and you have an equally strong conscience. To understand this, I should first have to hear Mrs. Reed's version of the story myself. That should be a most interesting interview.

Alice:
I shouldn't advise you to see her alone.

Dr. Judd:
Do you think I'm afraid of so charming a lady?

Alice:
Dr. Judd, I know you don't believe me, but you must be careful.

Dr. Judd:
You want me to carry some means of protection - a gun, perhaps, with a silver bullet? Is that what you mean?

Alice:
If you're lucky enough to have one.

Dr. Judd:
Hmmm. Of course, uh. [He displays the sword within his cane] This isn't silver.

Irena:
I went back to Dr. Judd's office. I'm no longer afraid.

Oliver:
Believe me, Irena, I'd have been the happiest man in the world if you'd told me that a little while ago, but things have changed. I had to learn, maybe through this marriage of ours. I didn't want to tell you this, but now you see I have to. I love Alice. Irena, it's too late.

Irena:
Too late.

Oliver:
There seems only one decent thing for me to do. I'll give you a divorce. Believe me, it's better this way.

Irena:
Better? Better for whom?...There's nothing you can say. There's only silence. But I love silence, I love loneliness.

Oliver:
Irena, you talk like an insane woman.

Old man in whorehouse:
You see, Italy is a very poor, weak country and that is what makes us so strong, strong enough to survive this war and still be in existence, long after your country has been destroyed.

Capt. Nately:
What are you talking about? America is not going to be destroyed.

Old man in whorehouse:
Never?

Capt. Nately:
Well...

Old man in whorehouse:
Rome was destroyed. Greece was destroyed. Persia was destroyed. Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? How much longer do you think your country will last? Forever?

Capt. Nately:
Well, forever is a long time.

Old man in whorehouse:
Very long.

Capt. Nately:
Don't you have any principles?

Old man in whorehouse:
Of course not!

Capt. Nately:
No morality?

Old man in whorehouse:
I'm a very moral man, and Italy is a very moral country. That's why we will certainly come out on top again if we succeed in being defeated.

Capt. Nately:
You talk like a madman.

Old man in whorehouse:
But I live like a sane one. I was a fascist when Mussolini was on top. Now that he has been deposed, I am anti-fascist. When the Germans were here, I was fanatically pro-German. Now I'm fanatically pro-American. You'll find no more loyal partisan in all of Italy than myself.

Capt. Nately:
You're a shameful opportunist! What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Old man in whorehouse:
You have it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know.

Capt. Nately:
How do you know?

Old man in whorehouse:
Because I am 107-years-old. How old are you?

Capt. Nately:
I'll be 20 in January.

Old man in whorehouse (with pity):
If you live.

Doc Daneeka:
You're wasting your time

Yossarian:
Can't you ground someone who's crazy?

Doc Daneeka:
Oh, sure. I have to. There's a rule saying I have to ground anyone who's crazy.

Yossarian:
Then why don't you ground me? I'm crazy. Ask Clevinger.

Doc Daneeka:
Clevinger? Where is Clevinger? You find Clevinger and I'll ask him.

Yossarian:
Then ask any of the others. They'll tell you how crazy I am.

Doc Daneeka:
They're crazy

Yossarian:
Then why don't you ground them?

Doc Daneeka:
Why don't they ask me to ground them?

Yossarian:
Because they're crazy, that's why.

Doc Daneeka:
Of course they're crazy, I just told you they're crazy, didn't I? And you can't let crazy people decide if they crazy or not.

Yossarian:
Is Orr crazy?

Doc Daneeka:
He sure is.

Yossarian:
Can you ground him?

Doc Daneeka:
I sure can. But first he has to ask me to. That's part of the rule.

Yossarian:
Then why doesn't he ask you to?

Doc Daneeka:
Because he's crazy, He has to be crazy to keep flying combat missions after all the close calls he's had. Sure, I can ground Orr. But first he has to ask me to.

Yossarian:
That's all he has to do to be grounded?

Doc Daneeka:
That's all. Let him ask me.

Yossarian:
And then you can ground him?

Doc Daneeka:
No. Then I cannot ground him. (Yossarian cries out in frustration) See, there's a catch, Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn't really crazy.

Yossarian:
That's some catch, that Catch-22.

Doc Daneeka:
It's the best there is.

1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
Yossarian, I want you to do something for me. [removes item from small bag] I want to serve this to the men. Taste it and let me know what you think.

[Yossarian takes a bite]

Yossarian:
What is it?

1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
Chocolate-covered cotton.

Yossarian:
What are you, crazy?

1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
No good, huh?

Yossarian:
For Christ's sake, you didn't even take the seeds out!

1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
Is it really that bad?

Yossarian:
It's cotton!

1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
They've got to learn to like it!

Yossarian:
Why?

1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
Look, I saw this great opportunity to corner the market in Egyptian cotton. How was I supposed to know there was going to be a glut? I've got a hundred warehouses stacked with the stuff all over the European theater. I can't get rid of a penny's worth. People eat cotton candy, don't they? Well this stuff is better - it's made out of real cotton.

Yossarian:
Milo, people can't eat cotton!

1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
They've got to - it's for the Syndicate!

Yossarian:
It will make them sick! - why don't you try it yourself if you don't believe me?

1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
I did - and it made me sick.

Lt. Col. Korn, XO:
[loud bomb explosion is heard] There goes the Officer's Club!

Assistant Director Marsh:
I'd like for you to take a look at something, tell me what you think.

[Marsh hands Frank a fake check as Carl looks on] That's a fake.

Assistant Director Marsh:
How do you know? You haven't looked at it.

Frank Abagnale, Jr.:
There's no perforated edge, right? This check was hand-cut, not fed. The paper's double-bonded, much too heavy to be a bank check. Magnetic ink, it's raised against my fingers, not flat. This doesn't smell like MICR, it's some kind of, uh, some kind of drafting ink. The kind you get at a stationery store.
