“I'm not your type, you know.” – Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison, The Americanization of Emily ... Movie Quotes Database

I'm not your type, you know.

Emily Barham

Like hell, you're not!

I only thought you fancied heroes. I'm yellow, honey, clear through.

Emily Barham

That's your most attractive quality. Oh, I've had it with heroes! Every man I've loved has died in this war. You'll never get caught in the shooting - that's one thing I'm sure of. You can't imagine how attractive that makes you to me.

I just want to know the momentary fact about things. Life isn't good, or bad, or true. It's merely factual, it's sensual, it's alive. My idea of living sensual facts are you, a home, a country, a world, a universe. In that order. I want to know what I am, not what I should be.
