Lots of great double-meaning riffs thrown out there. I keep thinking of the one where Hepburn says something like, "people are so worried about these new machines....they all think we're going to be replaced."

Tracy chuckles and says, "well, maybe they'll stop making them."

I liked it when she quote from "Curfew shall not ring tonight"

I think it's this section, I remember the part about the lips being white...

"Sexton," Bessie's white lips faltered, pointing to the prison old,
With its walls tall and gloomy, moss-grown walls dark, damp and cold,--
"I've a lover in the prison, doomed this very night to die
At the ringing of the curfew, and no earthly help is nigh.
Cromwell will not come till sunset;" and her lips grew strangely white,
As she spoke in husky whispers, "Curfew must not ring to-night!"

When Bunny say "My hair is naturally natural". Fits my hair perfectly too.

"They're gone for the day"

I love many lines from this movie.

Richard Sumner: Do I look like a man interested in women's fashions?
Bunny Watson: No, not even in men's.

"Yes, there's something about the way you wear that pencil in your hair that spells money."

What I love most are the lines where Richard Sumner shows he really sees Bunny Watson and admires her greatly, "A rare tropical fish."

I like when they are on the cold roof and he says he is giving her a test.
He pushes a cup toward her and says " Celery or olives?"
And she says "Three celery and four olives"

I don't know why but that always cracks me up

I think about how they call it "Mexican Avenue" ( a mix of Lexington and Madison) surprisingly often. Love that line.

Richard Sumner: "Santa Claus’ reindeer? Uh…uh…well, yes I can. Uh…uh…Let me see now, there’s Dopey, uh…Sneezy, Grouchy, Happy, Sleepy, uh...Rudolph, and Blitzen."

reply

Sumner's version of Santa's reindeer is my favorite, too. Especially Grouchy. And the self-satisfied "you're welcome!" at the end.

Also, Dina Merrill asking friskily "catch anything?" And Sumner's "gotcha" smile as a response - beautiful.

reply

Bunny: I have a terrible memory
Ms Wernier: And you chose to go into research??
Richard: Careful, your in the major leagues.

I liked that part and all the parts that had Hepburn laughing. People don't laugh very often in cinema, and even more rarely does the laughter sound genuine and natural. Hepburn's did and I loved it.
