“Sure, I'm gonna take you where there aren't any spies.” – Michael, The Lady from Shanghai ... Movie Quotes Database

Michael

Sure, I'm gonna take you where there aren't any spies.

Elsa

Michael, where?

Michael

A long way off. Somewhere in the far places.

Elsa

Far places? We're in one of them now. Anyway, it doesn't work. I tried it. Everything's bad, Michael, everything. You can't escape it or fight it. You've got to get along with it. Deal with it, make terms. You're such a foolish knight errant, Michael. You're big and strong, but you just don't know how to take care of yourself. So how could you take care of me?
