Quotes 

• David Barnes : Would you like a drink?

  Lisa Macklin : No, thank you very much.

  David Barnes : Oh, you sure you don't want to stay and see my stamp collection?

• David Barnes : It's strange, I hadn't really planned to come to Paris at all. I was ready to dig up a new assignment when I ran into Alan in Geneva. The next thing I knew I was installed in his apartment and you walked in. That's when I got the happy idea that you went with the place. Which was a bad idea, I admit. Then we ran into each other on the street. Fate. Fate.

  Lisa Macklin : I know. Bigger than the both of us. But certainly it wasn't fate that made you follow me to the shop.

  David Barnes : No, that was just good, healthy curiosity. Second nature to a newspaper man. Especially when a beautiful woman's involved.

• David Barnes : You looked like you were in trouble.

  Lisa Macklin : What made you think that?

  David Barnes : Oh, a little addition, a little subtraction.

• Barbara Ford : Well, Lisa's certainly been keeping you up her sleeve. How have you known her?

  David Barnes : Oh, not nearly long enough.

• David Barnes : You don't Twist?

  Lisa Macklin : Oh, not right now, thanks.

  David Barnes : Well, that's good news.

• David Barnes : Oh, I forgot. You don't smoke.

  Lisa Macklin : Sometimes I do.

• David Barnes : Were you in love with him?

  Lisa Macklin : I thought I was for awhile.

  David Barnes : It doesn't sound like it was for very long.

  Lisa Macklin : No, it wasn't. But, you don't quit with the first sign of trouble. Somehow you try to make it work. It's hard just to say: I'm sorry. I'm afraid I made a mistake. Ciao.
