Quotes 

  • Monte Blanca : Rosita, please. No matter what this appears like to you, it is the opposite.

  • Boris : I won't haggle with you, Monte. You'll either get five percent of the young lady's losses or a hundred percent of what I planned for you before you came in.

    Monte Blanca : Uh, huh, huh. Well, five percent is perfectly satisfactory. Heh, heh, heh, I was just trying to get the best deal.

    Boris : You have.

  • Monte Blanca : Oh, I would have come up yesterday only I had not, uh, yet made my arrangements.

    Boris : Funeral?

    Monte Blanca : No, financial.

  • Nan Spencer : [Rummaging through the wastebasket for the cashier's check Terry McCracken had given her]  There's a thousand dollars in here.

    Monte Blanca : Oh, senorita, you are clever. What a place to hide money.

  • Jay Williams : Look, Blanca, I'll make up the losses, but not all at once. Payments of $500 at a time.

    Monte Blanca : Senor, naturally, I am more than grateful, but, uh, I still do not understand why.

    Jay Williams : Well, not because of your character.

  • Monte Blanca : Where would you find another manager like me huh?

    [They kiss] 

    Rosita Rivas : Mmmm, that's right. No one can manage me like you do. But you are a thief and a no-good good-for-nothing.

    [They kiss] 

    Rosita Rivas : Oh, but I like you.

  • Monte Blanca : Oh, Rosita mia, never have you looked more lovely.

    Rosita Rivas : And never have you looked more guilty.

  • Jay Williams : After Miss Spencer went out with you last night, I looked you up. As characters go, yours is not very good.

    Monte Blanca : Oh, there are a lot of rumors. They are not true.

  • Nan Spencer : Oh, Monte, you were right about this table being lucky. Look, I won it all on 14. Fourteen again.

    Monte Blanca : No, no, no, you must not bet on that again. It could never repeat.

    Nan Spencer : Oh, that's what everybody's been telling me.

    Monte Blanca : No, a good roulette player is one who knows how to change. Now this time you should bet heavily on eight.

    Nan Spencer : Eight - why?

    Monte Blanca : Well, uh, eight and six make 14. Then ya bet on six. It's an infallible system.

  • Monte Blanca : You, uh, are sure she is wealthy?

    Rafael : It's the surest thing in the whole world. She has the most expensive suite in the hotel. Her clothes - they are the most luxurious and the thinnest I have ever seen. And if this is not proof enough, she tipped me only 10 cents.

    Monte Blanca : She must be VERY wealthy.

  • Monte Blanca : I, uh, suppose you have some way in mind I can repay you.

    Boris : That too has been arranged.

    Monte Blanca : Oh, fine, fine. But killing is out. I will not kill.

  • Monte Blanca , Jay Williams : I will do my best to make Senorita Spencer ecstatic.

    Jay Williams : That ought a be good enough. You Cubans are supposed to be experts at romance.

    Monte Blanca : Ohhh, I am not a Cuban, sir. I was born in Brooklyn as a child. But I have a feel for romance.

  • Rosita Rivas : And what did you think of your blonde?

    Monte Blanca : Uh, the blonde?

    Rosita Rivas : Yeah, yeah. I am told you are upstairs with a blonde.

    Monte Blanca : But there are many blondes upstairs. If you stand next to a women, it is 35 to one she is a blonde.

    Rosita Rivas : If was not 35 blondes, it was one blonde.

  • Nan Spencer : I am with a man, but I'm going home alone.

    Monte Blanca : Oh, well, one of two things happened, senorita. You were insulted, or you were not insulted. And beyond that, you are not going home alone.

  • Boris : So she was a wealthy girl?

    Monte Blanca : No, listen, Boris.

    Boris : She owns half of America?

    Monte Blanca : I can explain.

    Boris : She looses thousands every night.

    Monte Blanca : Boris, please. My information - there was a slip.

    Boris : Yessss! But luckily this time, Monte, you've landed on your feet instead of where you usually land.

  • Rosita Rivas : Aha, so you are going upstairs

    [to the gambling room] 

    Monte Blanca : Only to test myself.

    Rosita Rivas : You are through testing yourself. It is too expensive.

  • Monte Blanca : Senor, $500 will save my life.

    Jay Williams : It isn't worth it.

    Monte Blanca : No? Well make me an offer.

  • Monte Blanca : How can I gamble when I have no money?

    Rosita Rivas : When I have proved that with my own eyes, I still not believe it.

  • Nan Spencer : I'm never gonna see Senor Williams again. Never.

    Monte Blanca : [Slaps his forehead]  Then I die. When you leave, my body will be floating in the harbor.

  • Monte Blanca : No no! Please, Rosita, listen to me. I have spent your money. I have lost at gambling. I have lied to you. But never have I been untrue to you.

  • Nan Spencer : [Answering the door]  Monte!

    Monte Blanca : Uh, senorita, I will explain later. But if you want to save my life, let me in.
