Carlo Cofield : You know what I want? A box of twenty-five Monte Cristo panatellas. I want a king-size vibrator bed. I want a 35mm. Hasselblad, a Rolls-Royce convertible. I want driving gloves made from the underside of antelope ears. A bold men's cologne for the man who does something to women. A cashmere double-breasted jacket that's going to get me there first.
Laura Califatti : Get where?
Carlo Cofield : Doesn't matter. I want to be where the action is. I want to live a life of understated elegance.

Laura Califatti : They use a new process. It was aromarama. You could smell it!
Carlo Cofield : Smell what? Smelt the picture?
Laura Califatti : Yes!... You know, they fixed up the theater so that with every scene there was a different smell. In one scene, I lured this man to a small rose garden and the audience was supposed to smell roses. They pushed this - eh, eh, this, eh...
Carlo Cofield : Spray?
Laura Califatti : This spray. This spray - the rose - the smell of roses. But, they make a mistake - and the audience smells fish.

Laura Califatti : Tonight, you will sleep here - with me! And now - to bed.

Laura Califatti : Where is the rug of - what do you call the animal? The zig-zag horse? The zebra!

Laura Califatti : I don't like to look at who I am. I am a - cat woman.

Laura Califatti : Maybe I will never get the chance again. So, I came.

Laura Califatti : I'm a terrible actress. I cannot act. You want?
[lights Carlo's cigar]
Laura Califatti : I cannot pretend one thing, when I feel another. I'm too emotional.
[blows out the match]

Carlo Cofield : What do you do now? I mean, for a living?
Laura Califatti : I live! I live a rich life. I have my work and for me that is everything.
Carlo Cofield : Well, I'd like to live a rich life too.
Laura Califatti : We must all live a full life. A rich life!
-
Laura Califatti : Listen, I live here alone. I let you sleep in my house, because, I know you will - you will not make a stupid attempt. Heh? You will behave. Heh? With some men, a woman is not secure. But, you're not such a man.
Carlo Cofield : I'm not, huh?
Laura Califatti : No. You're a friend. Ciao!

Laura Califatti : It's a marauder!
Rod Prescott : It's a private dick. I'll take care of him right now.
-
Laura Califatti : [to Rod] It is because you don't love me. Only a fool could believe it. Only a fool or someone who didn't care. Why have no jealousy for the one you love? He is my lover!
Carlo Cofield : Oh, no, no!
Laura Califatti : He takes me when he pleases!
Carlo Cofield : Oh, no, no.
Laura Califatti : We are mad for each other! Tell him!
Carlo Cofield : I'm not her lover.
Laura Califatti : Ah, grazie, grazie...
Rod Prescott : What is your line there, lover boy? You a dance instructor? A paid escort? A hairdresser?
-
Laura Califatti : He's too much man to leave her and I'm too much woman to leave him.
-
Laura Califatti : I think you're - going to make a pass at me. No?
Carlo Cofield : Considering our record, so far, that's probably the most self-destructive thing - I could possibly do.
-
Laura Califatti : I have no name, I have no existence, I'm an item, a deductible item.
