A scene from The Philadelphia Story 1940
Tracy

Hello you.

Mike

Hello you.

Tracy

You look fine.

Mike

I feel fine.

Tracy

I had a simply wonderful evening. I hope you enjoyed it too.

Mike

I enjoyed the last part of it.

Tracy

Really? Why especially the last?

Mike

Well, Tracy, are you asking me?

Tracy

Oh, you mean the swim!...[They laugh together nervously] I did swim, and so forth, didn't we? Mike -

Mike

Oh, Tracy, darling...

Tracy

Mike -

Mike

What can I say to you? Tell me, darling.

Tracy

Not anything - don't say anything. And especially not 'darling.'

Mike

Then you're going through with it, huh?

Tracy

Through with what?

Mike

The wedding.

Tracy

Why, why shouldn't I?

Mike

Well, I made a funny discovery. And in spite of the fact that somebody's up from the bottom, he can still be quite a heel. And even though somebody else is born to the purple, he-he can still be a very nice guy. Boy - I-I'm just repeating what you said last night.

Tracy

I said a lot of things last night, it seems.

Mike

Okay, no dice. Also, no regrets about last night, huh?

Tracy

Why should I have?

Mike

Oh Tracy, you're wonderful.

Tracy

You don't know what I mean! I'm asking you - tell me straight out - tell me the reason why I should have - have! No - don't.
