Dialogue

 * [When Peter Joshua (Grant) first meets Regina 'Reggie' Lampert (Hepburn)]
 * Peter: Oh, forgive me. [indicating Jean-Louis, the son of Reggie's friend] Does he belong to you?
 * Reggie: [indicating Sylvie]: It's hers. Where'd you find him, robbing a bank?
 * Peter: He was throwing snowballs at Baron Rothschild. [pause] We don't know each other, do we?
 * Reggie: Why? Do you think we're going to?
 * Peter: I don't know -- how would I know?
 * Reggie: Because I already know an awful lot of people; until one of them dies, I couldn't possibly meet anyone else.
 * Peter [smiling]: Mmm. Well, if anyone goes on the critical list, let me know. [he starts off]
 * Reggie: Quitter!
 * Peter [turning]: How's that? What? What?
 * Reggie: You give up awfully easy, don't you?
 * [Sylvie sizes up the situation and rises.]
 * Sylvie: Viens, Jean-Louis, let us make a walk. I have never seen a Rothschild before.
 * [The boy squirts Peter with his water pistol before leaving.]
 * Peter [drying himself]: Clever fellow -- almost missed me.
 * Reggie: You're blocking my view.
 * Peter [moving]: Sorry. Which view would you prefer?
 * Reggie: The one you're blocking. This is the last chance I have -- I'm flying back to Paris this afternoon.  What's your name?
 * Peter: Peter Joshua.
 * Reggie: Oh, mine's Regina Lampert.
 * Peter: Is there a Mr. Lampert?
 * Reggie: Yes.
 * Peter: Good for you.
 * Reggie: No, it isn't. I'm getting a divorce.
 * Peter: Please, not on my account.
 * Reggie: No, you see, I don't really love him.
 * Peter: Well, at least you're honest, anyway.
 * Reggie: Yes, I am -- I'm compulsive about it -- dishonesty infuriates me. Like when you go into a drugstore.
 * Peter: I'm not sure I...
 * Reggie: Well, you go in and you ask for some toothpaste -- the small size -- and the man brings you the large size. You tell him you wanted the small size but he says the large size is the small size.  I always thought the large size was the largest size, but he says that the family size, the economy size and the giant size are all larger than the large size -- that the large size is the smallest size there is.
 * Peter: Oh. I guess.
 * Reggie: Is there a Mrs. Joshua?
 * Peter: Yes, but we're divorced.
 * Reggie: That wasn't a proposal -- I was just curious.
 * Peter: Is your husband with you?
 * Reggie: Oh, Charles is hardly ever with me. First it was separate rooms -- now we're trying it with cities.  What do people call you -- Pete?
 * Peter: Mr. Joshua. [turning to go] Well, I've enjoyed talking with you.
 * Reggie: Now you're angry.
 * Peter: No, I'm not -- I've got some packing to do. I'm also going back to Paris today.
 * Reggie: Oh. Well, wasn't it Shakespeare who said, "When strangers do meet, they should ere long see one another again"?
 * Peter: Shakespeare never said that!
 * Reggie: How do you know?
 * Peter: It's terrible -- you just made it up.
 * Reggie: Well, the idea's right, anyway. Are you going to call me?
 * Peter: Are you in the book?
 * Reggie: (Well) Charles is.
 * Peter: Is there only one Charles Lampert?
 * Reggie: Lord, I hope so.


 * Reggie: Do you know what's wrong with you?
 * Peter: No, what?
 * Reggie: Nothing!
