Marianne Horne:
[observing diamond rings being placed onto velvet cushions by Hollander] Oh look! All the little jewels going virtuously to bed for Papa!

Marianne Horne:
What a shame to meet a man like that in a shop.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Why a shame? Marianne Horne: He's the sort of robber one should meet in a Pullman! Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: What do you mean? Marianne Horne: Didn't you see in the paper? Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: No! Marianne Horne: Last week an American woman was robbed in the Simplon Express. Stripped right down to her teddies! Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: *No*! Marianne Horne: What would you do if you found yourself in your teddies? Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: What would *you* do?? Marianne Horne: Let the train go on! Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: [laughing] Lost soul! Marianne Horne: When I'm travelling at the rate of 80 miles per hour, I'm not responsible for my actions.

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.

I'm curious to know how you were led astray.

Baroness Teri von Horhenfels:
Oh, they're too heavenly! This necklace--where did you get it?
Robber: At a charity ball. Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: What courage! Robber: No, merely nimble fingers. The lady stood beside me. The Prince of Wales was announced. I could have removed her dress.

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!

Baroness Teri von Horhenfels:
This is awful!
Robber: Why? I'm having a very good time. Won't you sit down? Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: You behave exactly as though you were paying a call! Robber: I am. After a very brief and informal introduction, I'm now making a formal call. Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Through the window... Robber: But only to preserve your reputation. I came very discreetly by way of a drain pipe. Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: That's not legal!

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.

Robber:
The last place anybody would think of looking for me is in your bedroom.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Oh, so you expect to stay here until morning? Robber: I'm forced to. Tomorrow the chase starts all over again. I must have a peaceful night. Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: A peaceful night in *my bedroom?*
