Ninotchka:
When I kissed you, I betrayed a Russian ideal. I should be stood up against the wall.
Leon: Would that make you feel better? Ninotchka: Much better. Ninotchka: I have paid the penalty.

Russian Visa Official:
To an unseen caller: "Hello! Comrade Kasabian? No, I am sorry. He hasn't been with us for six months. He was called back to Russia and was investigated. You can get further details from his widow."

A radio's a little box that you buy on the installment plan, and before you tune it in, they tell you there's a new model out.

It's midnight. Look at the clock, one hand has met the other hand, they kiss. Isn't that wonderful?

What kind of a girl are you, anyway?
Ninotchka: Just what you see. A tiny cog in the great wheel of evolution. Leon: You're the most adorable cog I've ever seen.

[Ninotchka is examining a map of Paris]
Leon: Pardon me, are you an explorer? Ninotchka: No. I'm looking for the Eiffel Tower. Leon: Good heavens, is that thing lost again? Oh, are you interested in a view? Ninotchka: I'm interested in the Eiffel Tower from a technical standpoint. Leon: Technical? No, no, I'm afraid I couldn't be of much help from that angle. You see, a Parisian only goes to the tower in moments of despair to jump off. Ninotchka: How long does it take a man to land? Leon: Now isn't that too bad? The last time I jumped, I forgot to time it.
