Suzanne Renaud: Of course, if you're a man of principle...
Fred Martingale: I take it you're quite experienced.
Suzanne Renaud: The German is brittle. The Frenchman cries l'amour! The American is hoping for the cavalry to come.
Fred Martingale: And what do Englishmen do?
Suzanne Renaud: They pay.
Suzanne Renaud: Now do you want to kiss me?

Mike Davis: If you ever tried to get away from me, I'd follow you 'til I wore the earth smooth.
