A scene from To Catch a Thief 1955
Francie

[about why she never wears jewelry]

I don't like cold things touching my skin.

Robie

Why don't you invent some hot diamonds?

Francie

I'd rather spend my money on more tangible excitement.

Robie

Tell me, what do you get a thrill out of most?

Francie

I'm still looking for that one...

Robie

You are husband-hunting after all.

Francie

That wasn't jealousy you heard working, merely disappointment in your limited imagination. Teenaged French girls yet. Oh, I bet you snowed her under. The big handsome lumberman from America. I'll bet you told her all your trees were Sequoias.

Robie

You know, that certainly sounds like jealousy to me. Don't be ashamed of it - let it out.

Francie

You're somewhat egotistical.

Robie

Fighting fire with fire. Miss Stevens.

Francie

Yes, Mr. Burns.

Robie

You know what I think?

Francie

About what?

Robie

You.

Francie

I don't really care... Tell me.

Robie

You're an insecure, pampered woman accustomed to attracting men. But you're not quite sure whether they're attracted to you or to your money. You may never know.

Francie

Anything else?

Robie

What you need is something I have neither the time nor the inclination to give you.

Francie

Oh, and just what is that?

Robie

Two weeks with a good man at Niagara Falls.
