A scene from North by Northwest 1959
Eve

I'm a big girl.

Roger

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?

Roger

Yesss.

Eve

I mean, we've hardly met.

Roger

That's right.

Eve

How do I know you aren't a murderer?

Roger

You don't.

Eve

Maybe you're planning to murder me right here tonight?

Roger

Shall I?

Eve

Please do. [Another long kiss.]

Roger

Beats flying, doesn't it?

Eve

We should stop.

Roger

Immediately.

Eve

I want to know more about you.

Roger

What more could you know?

Eve

You're an advertising man, that's all I know.

Roger

That's right. [They shift positions.] The train's a little unsteady.

Eve

Who isn't?

Roger

What else do you know?

Eve

You've got taste in clothes, taste in food...

Roger

...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.

Roger

I'm beginning to think I'm underpaid.
...

Roger

Now where were we?

Eve

Here. [They kiss again passionately.]

Roger

Yes. Nice of you to have opened the bed.

Eve

Yes.

Roger

Only one bed.

Eve

Yes.

Roger

That's a good omen, don't you think?

Eve

Wonderful.

Roger

You know what that means?

Eve

Hmmm.

Roger

What? Tell me.

Eve

It means you're going to sleep on the floor.
