A scene from Lolita 1962
Lolita

[entering the hotel room, which has only one bed]

Is, uh, this it?

Humbert

You mean, uh...

Lolita

Yeah.

Humbert

Well, yes. You see, I-I-I-I-I, I'm quite sure that they'll manage to find a cot for us. I asked them downstairs in the lobby to find a cot.

Lolita

A cot?

Humbert

Yes.

Lolita

You're crazy.

Humbert

Why, my darling?

Lolita

Because, my darling, when my darling mother finds out, she's going to divorce you and strangle me.

Humbert

Yes, now look, now. I have a great feeling of, um, tenderness for you. While your mother is ill, I'm responsible for your welfare. We're not rich, but while we travel, we should be obliged - we should be thrown a good deal together - two people sharing one room inevitably enter into a kind of, um, how should I say? A kind of, hmm...

Lolita

Aren't you going to go down and see about the cot?
