A scene from Notorious 1946
Alicia

You can add Sebastian's name to my list of playmates.

Devlin

Pretty fast work.

Alicia

That's what you wanted, wasn't it?

Devlin

Skip it!..I've been recalling some of your remarks about being a new woman. Daisies and buttercups, wasn't it?

Alicia

You idiot. What are you sore about? You knew very well what I was doing.

Devlin

Did I?

Alicia

You could have stopped me. Just one word. But no, you wouldn't. You threw me at him.

Devlin

I threw you at nobody.

Alicia

Didn't you tell me to go ahead?

Devlin

A man doesn't tell a woman what to do. She tells herself. You almost had me believing in that little hokey-pokey miracle of yours. If a woman like you could ever change her spots.

Alicia

Oh, you're rotten.

Devlin

That's why I didn't try to stop you. And the answer had to come from you.

Alicia

I see. Some kind of love test.

Devlin

That's right.

Alicia

Well, you never believed in me anyways so what's the difference.

Devlin

Lucky for both of us I didn't. It wouldn't have been pretty if I believed in you. If I'd figured: 'She'll never be able to go through with this. She's been made over by love.'

Alicia

If you only once had said that you loved me. Oh, Dev.

Devlin

Listen. You chalked up another boyfriend. That's all. No harm done.

Alicia

I hate you.

Devlin

There's no occasion to. You're doing good work. Number 10's out in front. It looks as if Sebastian knows how to pick 'em.

Alicia

Is that all you have to say to me?

Devlin

Dry your eyes baby. It's out of character. Keep on your toes. There's a tough job around. Snap out of it. Here comes dreamboat.
