A scene from Gentleman Prefer Blondes 1953

Henry Spofford III

[talking to Lorelei, stuck going through the porthole]

All right. I'll help you. I'll help you for two reasons.

Lorelei Lee

Never mind the reasons. Just help me.

Henry Spofford III

The first reason is I'm too young to be sent to jail. The second reason is you got a lot of animal magnetism.

Lady Beekman You'll find I mean business! Dorothy Shaw Oh, really? Then why are you wearing that hat? Esmond Sr. Have you got the nerve to tell me you don't want to marry my son for his money? Lorelei Lee It's true. Esmond Sr. Then what do you want to marry him for? Lorelei Lee I want to marry him for YOUR money. Lorelei Lee Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help? Mr. Esmond Sr. Say, they told me you were stupid! You certainly don't seem stupid to me! Lorelei Lee I can be smart when it's important, but most men don't like it.
