A scene from The Maltese Falcon 1941
Brigid

It's more than I can ever offer you if I have to bid for your loyalty.

Spade

That's good coming from you. What have you ever given me beside money? Have you ever given me any of your confidence, any of the truth? Haven't you tried to buy my loyalty with money and nothing else?

Brigid

What else is there I can buy you with?

Spade

[Spade kisses her roughly]

I don't care what your secrets are. But I can't go ahead without more confidence in you than I've got now. You've got to convince me that you know what this is all about, that you aren't just fiddling around, hoping that it will all come out right in the end.

Brigid

Can't you trust me a little longer?
