Jewel Robbery Quotes:

Marianne Horne: They are silly to expect a woman to tell the truth about what happened when she was alone with a man!
Marianne Horne: [observing diamond rings being placed onto velvet cushions by Hollander] Oh look! All the little jewels going virtuously to bed for Papa!
Hollander the Jeweler: Their Papa prefers them less virtuous. There's no profit in sleeping at home.
Marianne Horne: A-ha! I must remember that!
Johann Christian Lenz, Nightwatchman: Always be suspicious. Don't be fooled by anybody. Anything strange, if it ain't more than a mouse's whisker -- call the police.
Robber: There's a man for you!
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: There now, you can go!
Marianne Horne: Be displeased with me! I can't help it. I'm a respectable woman and I'm afraid.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Don't you think I'm afraid? I shan't close my eyes all night.
Marianne Horne: Well, this is *one* night I shall be very glad to be with my husband!
Robber: As a matter of fact, I'm opposed to the American school of banditry. I studied in Paris. You have to work harder but you do acquire a certain finesse that is missing from the stick-em-up and shoot-them-down school.
