Lise Bouvier : Jerry, if it means anything to you, I love you.

Lise Bouvier : Paris has ways of making people forget.
Jerry Mulligan : Paris? No. Not this city. It's too real and too beautiful to ever let you forget anything. It reaches in and opens you wide and - you stay that way.

Lise Bouvier : It's a pity you don't have as much charm as you have persistence.

Lise Bouvier : You're a painter? You don't look like a painter.
Jerry Mulligan : There are those, dear lady, who'll say I don't paint like one either. But that doesn't bother me. Discouragement stimulates me.
Lise Bouvier : Oh, that much about you, I know.

Jerry Mulligan : Candy. Would you like some?

Jerry Mulligan : Go ahead. Try. The night's young. We should live dangerously!

Lise Bouvier : Oh, Jerry, we have so little time together. Can't we have our own special world and not talk about anything that happens when we're apart? I - I promise you I'll never ask what you do when you're not with me.
Jerry Mulligan : Well, I suppose it's just as well.
Lise Bouvier : What?
Jerry Mulligan : Nothing.
Lise Bouvier : Why? What do you do when you're not with me?

Lise Bouvier : Oh, Jerry, it's so dreadful standing next to you like this - and not having your arms around me.
Jerry Mulligan : You'll always be standing next to me, Lise.

Lise Bouvier : Look, Monsieur, I don't know what type of girl you think I am, but I am not!
