A scene from An American in Paris 1951
Jerry

What about you? Aren't you sick of The Life and Times of Mulligan?

Lise

I'd rather listen to you. I don't like to talk about myself.

Jerry

Oh, you're going to have to get over that.

Lise

Why?

Jerry

Well, uh, with a binding like you've got, people are going to want to know what's in the book.

Lise

What does that mean?

Jerry

Well, uh, primarily it means you're a very pretty girl.

Lise

I am?

Jerry

Yes, you are.

Lise

How do you know?

Jerry

I, uh, heard it on the radio.

Lise

Making fun of me.

Jerry

Doesn't everybody tell you that?

Lise

I haven't been out with many people. And always friends.

Jerry

Honey, believe me. I'm no enemy...Lise, I don't know whether you're a girl of mystery or just a still water that doesn't run deep, but there's one thing I can tell you. I'd been around sooner, you'd know by now that you're very pretty and I'm not making fun with you.
