Amy quotes from The Conversation (1974)

Amy

Does something special happen between us on your birthday?

Harry

Like what?

Amy

Something personal.

Harry

What?

Amy

Like, uhm, telling me about yourself. Your secrets?

Harry

I don't have any secrets.

Amy

I'm your secret. You do have secrets, Harry? I know you do. Sometimes you come over here and you don't tell me. Once I saw you up by the staircase, hiding and watching for a whole hour. You think you're gonna catch me at something, you know? I know when you come over. I can always tell. You have a certain way of opening up the door. You know, first the key goes in real quiet, and then the door comes open real fast, just like you think you're gonna catch me at something. Sometimes I even think you're listening to me when I'm talking on the telephone.

Harry

What are you talking about?

Amy

I don't know. I just feel it. Really, I do.

Amy

Where do you work, Harry?

Harry

Oh, in different places, different jobs. I'm kinda a musician. A free-lance musician.

Amy

Where do you live? And why can't I call you over there?

Harry

'Cause I don't have a telephone.

Amy

Do you live alone?

Harry

Why are you asking me all these questions?

Amy

Because it's your birthday.

Harry

I don't want people to ask me a lot of questions.

Amy

I want to know you.

Harry

Yes, I know you want to. I don't feel like answering any more questions.

Harry

You never used to ask a lot of questions.

Amy

Harry, I was so happy when you came over tonight. When I heard you open up the door, my toes were dancing under the covers. But I don't think I'm gonna wait for you anymore.
