Quotes 

• Maggie Scott : Paris. It's all so wonderful and exciting. Postcards don't do it justice.

  Herb Stone : Some of them do.

  Maggie Scott : Will we see the Eiffel Tower on the way?

  Herb Stone : It will still be there tomorrow.

• Herb Stone : Tell me, how did you do it?

  Maggie Scott : Do what?

  Herb Stone : Hook the last of the fun loving bachelors, Ted Barclay.

  Maggie Scott : Ted Barclay is still a fun loving bachelor.

  Herb Stone : Yeah. No, in name only. His voice quivered with concern when he spoke about you. Oh, I mean, You're a very pretty girl. You've got a nice figure. Good teeth. But, Ted Barclay has closets full of 'em. What'd you do? Did you play your cards very close to the chest?

• Herb Stone : Paris has a habit of doing very strange things to shrewd little girls. Their inhibitions go haywire and pretty soon little girl's not quite so sure of herself. To put it mildly, she goes ape.

  Maggie Scott : And what if it doesn't happen that way?

  Herb Stone : It will.

• Cab Driver : Vingt-cinq franc, Monsieur.

  Herb Stone : vingt-cinq franc?

  Cab Driver : Alors...

  Herb Stone : Bon-bon-bon-bon-bon.

  [to Maggie] 

  Herb Stone : The fare is 25 francs.

  [Maggie glares to Herb] 

  Herb Stone : You're on expense account, I'm not.

• Yvonne : You are not leaving!

  Herb Stone : Eh, DeGaulle just called another press conference.

  Yvonne : General DeGaulle has not been up so late since World War II.

  Herb Stone : Theirs not to reason why. The Republic comes first!

  Yvonne : The Republic? So is she a blonde or a brunette?

• Herb Stone : [on the phone]  Yeah, I'd be delighted to take care of any girlfriend of yours.

  Ted Barclay : I just want you to keep an eye on her and, well, she's never been to Paris before...

  Herb Stone : Yeah, I'm not the guy to protect any girl. I've been on the other side of the fence too long. Yeah.

  Ted Barclay : Just keep her away from the people and places we know. She'll be fine.

• Herb Stone : Let's go to some quiet, intimate little place we can get lost to - even if its just a phone booth!

• Denise Marton : Who is the little red-headed girl? She's very pretty.

  Herb Stone : I'm showing her around for a friend of mine. She's pretty; but, she's not my type.

  Denise Marton : Oh, I am so glad; because, she is Marc's.

• Herb Stone : [on the phone with Yvonne, while Ted drinks]  Yvonne, it's for a good friend of mine! Oh, come on. All girls have buddies. Hmm? Five foot eight. Works for NATO. Name's Renee. Yeah, dark and willowy. Capable of saying "yes" in five languages.

  Ted Barclay : Too tall.

  Herb Stone : No. No, it doesn't spark him. Can you come up with somebody a little less - a little less intellectual. Yeah! Paulette. Paulette hostess for Air France. Held prisoner by the Algerians for three months - after the armistice. Blonde. Five two.

  Ted Barclay : Too short.

  Herb Stone : No. That still doesn't do it. You wanna look - well, see, he's - he's very depressed. Can you come up with something special. Something - oh, now. Oh, yeah, yeah. yeah. Yeah! Palais Bourges. Palais Bourges front row. Monique. Excellent stand-out. Measurements? 42-24-31.

  Ted Barclay : Too scrawny.

• Herb Stone : Ted, my boy, you're not alone. You're just one of the many hapless victims of the new double-standard. Any American girl today has two completely different sets of morals. When she's - could you bring your eyes into focus? It'll give me the feeling I'm getting through. Back in the States, a girl, like Maggie, watches every step but she has her mind on just one thing, a wedding ring. Well, here in Paris, she has no chance of getting married so she lets her hair down. She does all the things she's always wanted to do. Plus, a few things that uh, she never thought of. Is that - clear?

• Maggie Scott : This is delicious. It tastes just like licorice!

  Herb Stone : That is better than licorice. It has more vitamins. It's absinthe.

  Maggie Scott : Mmmm.

  Herb Stone : Waiter, two more of the same.

• Maggie Scott : This is fantastic! I never would have seen the real Paris if it weren't for you!

  Herb Stone : Well, I hate to disappoint you; but, this joint's loaded with Americans.

  Maggie Scott : Well, I never would have seen the real Americans in Paris if it weren't for you.

• Herb Stone : Why don't you taper off a little. You don't have to set any records.

  Maggie Scott : Oh, I'm gonna set all kinds of records.

  Herb Stone : Barney, two more of the same.

• Maggie Scott : I'm having such a wonderful time. You're very sweet.

  Herb Stone : I haven't even turned it on yet.

  Maggie Scott : Are you trying to seduce me?

  Herb Stone : Whatever gave you that idea?

  Maggie Scott : Because I don't want you to. I want to seduce you. The girl is wild. She's got to work it.

  Herb Stone : I'm putty in your hands.

• Maggie Scott : More.

  Herb Stone : Now, Maggie.

  Maggie Scott : More! More. Thank you.

• Maggie Scott : Don't be afraid.

  Herb Stone : You'll be gentle with me?

  Maggie Scott : I promise.

• Herb Stone : He's one of the few friends I have that I like.
