A scene from All About Eve 1950
De Witt

And tomorrow morning, you will have won your beachhead on the shores of immortality.

Eve

Stop rehearsing your column. Isn't it strange, Addison? I thought I'd be panic-stricken, want to run away or something. Instead, I can't wait for tonight to come, to come and go.

De Witt

Are you that sure of tomorrow?

Eve

Aren't you?

De Witt

Frankly, yes.

Eve

It will be a night to remember. It will bring me everything I've ever wanted. The end of an old road. The beginning of a new one.

De Witt

All paved with diamonds and gold?

Eve

You know me better than that.

De Witt

It's paved with what, then?

Eve

Stars...Plenty of time for a nice long nap. We rehearsed most of last night.

De Witt

You could sleep now, couldn't you?

Eve

Why not?

De Witt

The mark of a true killer. Sleep tight, rest easy, and come out fighting.

Eve

Why did you call me a killer?

De Witt

Oh, did I say killer? I meant champion. I get my boxing terms mixed.
