Gerald Meldrick : Easy now, we're not caught yet.
Anya Von Duren : No, we're not, are we?
[They embrace and kiss]
Gerald Meldrick : I'm a liar... I'm caught alright.
Anya Von Duren : So am I.
-
Duchess of Beltravers : Do you read much?
Anya Von Duren : Oh, a little.
Duchess of Beltravers : Oh, I'm glad to hear it. No woman should read much. Every line in my face comes from reading some book or another.
-
Anya Von Duren : I hope you don't misunderstand me, but you don't look like a detective, or talk like one either.
Gerald Meldrick : That's what makes me such a valuable man. Most detectives do look like detective, and the result is that they are perpetually arresting each other.
-
Duchess of Beltravers : My husband was a fool. All husbands are fools.
Anya Von Duren : But, not all fools are husbands.
Duchess of Beltravers : I'll have to think that one over.
-
Anya Von Duren : Wait'll you see the clothes I managed to get you. Hand-me-downs from a missionary.
Gerald Meldrick : Hmmm. Nice idea. Missionary and his wife who lost everything, including their passports. Maybe we can hit a jackpot with that one.
-
Anya Von Duren : Some of these people are very clever too, aren't they?
Gerald Meldrick : Yes, but not always as clever as they think.
-
Anya Von Duren : Good night, and thank you.
Gerald Meldrick : For what?
Anya Von Duren : For pointing out the lights in the darkness. That was kind.
Gerald Meldrick : I don't think I've ever been accused of that before. I apologize for stepping out of character.
-
Gerald Meldrick : You're gonna have a lot of blisters.
Anya Von Duren : I'll love every one of 'em.
-
Anya Von Duren : The fog is beautiful, isn't it?
Gerald Meldrick : That depends on which one you mean. The one we're in or the one we're heading for? It may be even thicker than this one.
Anya Von Duren : But even more beautiful.
Gerald Meldrick : We may have to hide in cellars.
Anya Von Duren : We can grow mushrooms.
Gerald Meldrick : Maybe in garrets.
Anya Von Duren : We can look at the sun.
Gerald Meldrick : You're not worried, are you?
Anya Von Duren : No. You're the skipper.
-
Anya Von Duren : Oh, darling. This has been the happiest time I've ever known in my whole roustabout career.
-
Anya Von Duren : Well, darling,. You're pretty husky. How about shoveling a little coal on one of those luxury liners that goes to South America? The last place they'd look for you is where there's work.
-
Anya Von Duren : Well, goodbye and good luck, Captain...
Gerald Meldrick : Houston. You'd better not forget because you're Mrs. Houston.
Anya Von Duren : Mrs. Captain Houston.
Gerald Meldrick : That's right.
-
Anya Von Duren : Darling, you sure you'll be safe.
Gerald Meldrick : Well, I never have been. What's it like?
Anya Von Duren : How should I know?
-
Anya Von Duren : You look sensational.
Gerald Meldrick : Oh, colossal.
-
Anya Von Duren : [They are stuck in the hotel elevator] We might be here for hours.
Gerald Meldrick : That's quite possible. I knew a man once who was stuck in one of these things for three days. When they got him out he had a delusion he was a... a flight of stairs. He tried to walk up and down himself. He never recovered, poor fellow.

Anya Von Duren : And you? Why are you here?
Gerald Meldrick : I couldn't make the divinity course.
Anya Von Duren : What was it really, cards or women?
Gerald Meldrick : Both. I got them so mixed up that I got myself all mixed up. Once I tried to fill an inside straight with a blond.
