Quotes 

• Barrington Hunt : Did you get that car?

  Arab : Impossible.

  Barrington Hunt : It's not impossible! Do you expect me to go on a camel? Now you keep on looking until you come back with a car. A car - do you understand? Four wheels. One on each corner. A motor in the front to make it go.

• Barrington Hunt : See who that is.

  Arab : Madame Mowbray.

  Barrington Hunt : Mowbray?

  Arab : Very kind lady, sir. She will help you pass the time, very pleasantly - waiting for car.

• Eliza Mowbray : I thought you might be lonely.

  Barrington Hunt : Well, I'm not lonely now.

• Eliza Mowbray : Tell me, are you really a bank robber? You don't seem that.

  Barrington Hunt : Worst, my dear, I'm a fool.

  Eliza Mowbray : You don't seem that either. Do you like me?

  Barrington Hunt : Aw, you're ravishing.

• Barrington Hunt : You can't get your hands on 10 million francs like stealing milk bottles or door mats. Its a special technique. Which I've given years of experience. Eh, Smiley?

  Smiley Corbin : Wait'll you see him work! He'll come back with the old man's underwear.

• Barrington Hunt : Hello. Well, now. Rather elegant.

  Eliza Mowbray : I was having a little trouble hooking it up and I thought you might help.

  Barrington Hunt : You know this hasn't happened to me since I was 15 and comparatively innocent.

  [Goes to fix Eliza's dress] 

  Eliza Mowbray : Be careful.

  Barrington Hunt : My dear, you have nothing to fear.

  Eliza Mowbray : That isn't quite what I meant.

  Barrington Hunt : Really, aren't you being a little old fashioned? You know, this trick goes back to the 90s.

  Eliza Mowbray : Trick?

  Barrington Hunt : You never came in here to get your dress fastened, did you?

  Eliza Mowbray : No. But, you've left me so alone these past four days that - I got rather desperate.

  Barrington Hunt : My virtue amazes me.

  Eliza Mowbray : It's quite horrifying.

• Camille de Jonghe : Is she your wife?

  Barrington Hunt : No. No, there's nothing either legal or illegal between us.

• Barrington Hunt : I have a similar delusion at this moment. I feel quite innocent. It must be the desert air - and those eyes of yours.

• Kid Twist : I got a good notion to lay one on your bugle.

  Barrington Hunt : Oh, business before pleasure, my friend.

• Col. von Axt : How long do you think it will take you to win her esteem?

  Barrington Hunt : Depends on physiology and the moonlight. A fortnight, if we have good weather.

  Kid Twist : He kinda hates himself.

  Barrington Hunt : Not at all! No, I'm not depending wholly on my own talents. After all, the poor girl's been living in a zoo. I shall be quite a novelty.

• Barrington Hunt : [to Camille]  Would you care to hear some poetry? It's rather a good place to recite. "Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! Bird thou never wert." You know, this is rather pleasant being here with you.

• Barrington Hunt : By the way, what did you think of the ode "To a Skylark"? Powerful thing, isn't it?

  Kid Twist : If you know what's good for you, you won't pull any odes on me, fella!

• Kid Twist : Listen, we want the facts, see.

  Nick the Goose : Did you ask about the money?

  Barrington Hunt : My dear sir, who is conducting this courtship, you or I? Tomorrow I shall switch from Shelly to Byron, work my way slowly eastward through the Oriental poets. On Tuesday, if there's a moon, I shall plunge deep into Roman mythology. I trust, gentlemen, that meets with your approval?

• Camille de Jonghe : How can all those things be boring?

  Barrington Hunt : Did you ever eat too much?

  Camille de Jonghe : Yes.

  Barrington Hunt : Well, one can live too much.

• Camille de Jonghe : What's the matter?

  Barrington Hunt : I was thinking of London. A very pleasant hour in London preparing for a yuletide. Snow blowing. Great logs, crackling in the hearth. Surrounded by ones loved ones. Ah, decency has its moments.

• Barrington Hunt : Don't you see, I've done so many stupid things. So many rotten things. Let me do something decent. Just this once. Love me like that.

• Eliza Mowbray : I'm not so awful, am I?

  Barrington Hunt : No, you're charming.

• Barrington Hunt : You look terribly tempting, my dear. But, I'm sorry, I've an important engagement. Thanks for the kiss.

• Smiley Corbin : Where's the dough? What did you do with the millions?

  Barrington Hunt : I'm sorry. I - I met a dame.
