A scene from Stage Door 1937
Terry

[about Jean]

In the first place, I like her.

Powell

She won't like you very much after this.

Terry

Oh, she'll see the light in time.

Powell

You mean you'd jeopardize your own reputation. Aren't you a kind of a Girl Scout?

Terry

Just a girl who uses her brain. Anyway, I wanted to show you that I can act.

Powell

You are a faker.

Terry

Oh, we're both fakers. Isn't faking the essence of acting?

Powell

Well, it may apply to actors, but it does not apply to me.

Terry

You - you're a bigger faker than I am.

Powell

That's libel.

Terry

Not if I can prove it.
