Maid in Manhattan (2002)

Bob Hoskins: Lionel Bloch

Quotes 

• Lionel Bloch : To serve people takes dignity and intelligence. But remember, they are only people with money. And although we serve them, we are not their servants. What we do, Miss Ventura, does not define who we are. What defines us is how well we rise after falling.

• Caroline Lane : Oh, Chris, I'm terribly sorry to interrupt your busy morning, but we thought you should know what was going on as soon as possible.

  Christopher Marshall : What is going on?

  Caroline Lane : The woman you thought was a guest on this floor is the maid on this floor. Aren't you, Marisa?

  Christopher Marshall : No. Wait, her name is Caroline.

  Caroline Lane : No, Chris, darling, that's my name. She steals clothes, identities...

  Christopher Marshall : What the hell's happening here? Why are you dressed that way? Caroline?

  [looks at her maid attire] 

  Christopher Marshall : Is this true?

  [pause] 

  Marisa Ventura : Yeah, it is.

  Jerry Siegel : Jesus Christ! The press is gonna have a field day with this one.

  John Bextrum : There's no reason to involve the press.

  Jerry Siegel : How are you going to prevent her from speaking?

  Caroline Lane : This would never happen at the Four Seasons.

  John Bextrum : And I can assure you it has never happened here before either. Lionel, you are slipping. You should have noticed something. I am disappointed.

  Marisa Ventura : Please, Mr. Bextrum, he had nothing to do with this.

  Lionel Bloch : Of course, sir. I understand.

  John Bextrum : We'll talk about this later. Miss Ventura, you no longer work here. Please go to security, hand in your passes and your ID, and you'll be escorted from the building.

  Marisa Ventura : Yes, sir.

  Christopher Marshall : Is that really necessary?

  Jerry Siegel : Chris, let the man do his job, okay?

• Christopher Marshall : She's about five-six, dark hair, really beautiful, has a kid named Ty. What the hell happened?

  Lionel Bloch : I'm sorry, Sir.

  Christopher Marshall : Don't be sorry. Just find her.

  Caroline Lane : Oh, Chris, I loved your quote in "The Times".

  Christopher Marshall : Please!
