Eve I tipped the steward five dollars to seat you here if you should come in.
Eve I never discuss love on an empty stomach.
Eve But you haven't.
...
Eve What type?
Eve Not really.
Good, because honest women frighten me.
Eve Why?
I don't know. Somehow they seem to put me at a disadvantage.
Eve Because you're not honest with them?
The moment I meet an attractive woman, I have to start pretending I have no desire to make love to her.
Eve What makes you think you have to conceal it?
She might find the idea objectionable.
Eve Then again, she might not.
...
Eve I'm Eve Kendall. I'm twenty-six and unmarried. Now you know everything.
Tell me. What do you do besides lure men to their doom on the Twentieth Century Limited?
Eve I'm an industrial designer.
Jack Phillips. Western sales manager for Kingby Electronics.
Eve No, you're not. You're Roger Thornhill of Madison Avenue, and you're wanted for murder on every front page in America, and don't be so modest.
Eve Oh, don't worry, I won't say a word.
Eve I told you. It's a nice face.
Eve It's going to be a long night.
Eve And I don't particularly like the book I've started.
Eve You know what I mean?
Uh, let me think. [Pause] Yes, I know exactly what you mean...
...
Eve Incidentally, I wouldn't order any dessert if I were you.
Eve That isn't exactly what I meant. This train seems to be making an unscheduled stop, and I just saw two men get out of a police car as we pulled into the station. They weren't smiling.
Eve I'm a big girl.
Yeah, and in all the right places too. [They share a lingering kiss.]
Eve You know, this is ridiculous, you know that don't you?
Eve I mean, we've hardly met.
Eve How do I know you aren't a murderer?
Eve Maybe you're planning to murder me right here tonight?
Eve Please do. [Another long kiss.]
Beats flying, doesn't it?
Eve We should stop.
Eve I want to know more about you.
What more could you know?
Eve You're an advertising man, that's all I know.
That's right. [They shift positions.] The train's a little unsteady.
Eve Who isn't?
Eve You've got taste in clothes, taste in food...
...and taste in women. I like your flavor.
Eve You're very clever with words. You can probably make them do anything for you. Sell people things they don't need. Make women who don't know you fall in love with you.
I'm beginning to think I'm underpaid.
...
Eve Here. [They kiss again passionately.]
Yes. Nice of you to have opened the bed.
Eve Yes.
Eve Yes.
That's a good omen, don't you think?
Eve Wonderful.
You know what that means?
Eve Hmmm.
Eve It means you're going to sleep on the floor.
To a long and lasting friendship, meaning from now on, I'm not going to let you out of my sight, sweetheart.
Eve I'm afraid you'll have to.
Eve I do have plans of my own, you know, and you do have problems.
Well, wouldn't it be nice if my problems and your plans were somehow connected? Then we could always stay close to each other and not have to go off in separate directions. Togetherness, you know what I mean?
Eve I want you to do a favor for me. A big, big favor.
Eve I want you to leave right now. Stay far away from me and don't come near me again. We're not going to get involved. Last night was last night and it's all there was and that's all there is. There isn't going to be anything more between us. So please, goodbye, good luck, no conversation, just leave.
[After a valet tells him he will return his pressed suit in 20 minutes]
Now, what can a man do with his clothes off for twenty minutes? Couldn't he have taken an hour?
Eve You could always take a cold shower. [She helps him remove his suit jacket.]
That's right. When I was a little boy, I wouldn't even let my mother undress me.
Eve You're a big boy now.
Yes, tell me. How does a girl like you get to be a girl like you?
Eve Lucky, I guess.
No, not lucky. Naughty, wicked, up to no good. Ever kill anyone? Because I bet you could tease a man to death without half trying. So stop trying, huh?
What possessed you to come blundering in here like this? Could it be an overpowering interest in art?
Yes, the art of survival.
Eve He followed me here from the hotel.
L Leonard
He was in your room?
Sure. Isn't everybody?
...
Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First, you're the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he's been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn't commit. And now, you play the peevish lover, stung by jealousy and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actor's Studio.
Apparently, the only performance that will satisfy you is when I play dead.
Your very next role. You'll be quite convincing, I assure you.
I wonder what subtle form of manslaughter is next on the program. Am I to be dropped into a vat of molten steel and become part of a new skyscraper, or are you going to ask this female to kiss me again and poison me to death?
[Eve tries to slap him]
Who are you kidding? You have no feelings to hurt.
Eve I wanted to tell you, I mean apologize.
No need. I understand. All in the line of duty.
Eve I did treat you miserably.
I, uh, I hated you for it.
Eve I didn't want you to go on thinking that I...
I, I used some pretty harsh words, I'm sorry.
Eve They hurt deeply.
Eve I couldn't tell you.
Eve Could I?
Eve I guess I had nothing to do that weekend, so I decided to fall in love.
Eve Eventually, the Professor and his Washington colleagues approached me with a few sordid details about Philip. They told me that my relationship with him made me uniquely valuable to them.
Mm-mmm. So you became a Girl Scout, huh?
Eve Maybe it was the first time anyone ever asked me to do anything worthwhile.
Eve Mm-hmm.
Eve Men like you!
What's wrong with men like me?
Eve They don't believe in marriage.
Eve See what I mean?
Now I may go back to hating you: it was more fun. [They kiss passionately.]
If we ever get out of this alive, let's go back to New York on the train together, all right?
Eve Is that a proposition?
It's a proposal, sweetie.
Eve What happened to the first two marriages?
Eve Why?
Well, I think they said I led too dull a life.
