A scene from Foreign Correspondent 1940
Carol Fisher

Were you really going to tip that man 5?

John Jones

Of course. I charge all my traveling expenses to the office. Corrupting an official, 5.

Carol Fisher

You're just a wee bit unscrupulous, aren't you?

John Jones

Not unscrupulous. Just in love.

Carol Fisher

It's the same thing, I suppose...I beg your pardon?

John Jones

I beg yours. You see, I love you, and I want to marry you.

Carol Fisher

I love you, and I want to marry you.

John Jones

That cuts our love scene down quite a bit, doesn't it?

Carol Fisher

Do you mind?

John Jones

Not at all. It's made a new man of me.

Carol Fisher

I hope not entirely new. It took me some time to get used to the first man you were.

John Jones

To be perfectly frank with you, I expected a little more argument. I'm really left with quite a few things I very much wanted to say.

Carol Fisher

Save them until after we're married. I imagine they'll sound better then.

John Jones

I've saved things to say then, too.

Carol Fisher

You were really quite sure of yourself, weren't you?

John Jones

I didn't think I had a chance. A guy's got a right to dream, hasn't he?

Carol Fisher

Evidently.
