• Mrs. Ewing : Good evening, Count della Fiaba. We missed you last night.

  Count Dino della Fiaba : I played at the Sporting Club.

  Mrs. Ewing : Oh, yes, we love the Sporting in summer. It's so gay!

• Sophia : How much?

  Count Dino della Fiaba : Three and a half million francs.

  Francois, the Chauffeur : In dollars, Count Dino. It sounds better in dollars.

  Count Dino della Fiaba : Ten thousand dollars.

  Hector, the Maitre D' : To me, it sounds worst.

• Sophia : It is not good for a man to live alone. You do not eat well.

  Count Dino della Fiaba : But, it's not that I should marry a good cook. I must marry a woman who can afford a good cook.

• Hector, the Maitre D' : Ah! This you will like. The German lady from Hamburg.

  Hotel Clerk : Ah, yes! She's so gay! So full of life! She loves to dance. She loves to drink. She loves to do everything!

  Count Dino della Fiaba : Huh? And the money?

  Hector, the Maitre D' : Oh, fantastic! She made it all herself in the real estate.

  Count Dino della Fiaba : Real estate? I have a strong feeling for the land.

• Maria de Crevecoeur : I didn't know people fished in the dark.

  Count Dino della Fiaba : A favorite pastime here in Monte Carlo.

  Maria de Crevecoeur : Do you do it?

  Count Dino della Fiaba : I'm doing it now.

• Maria de Crevecoeur : Dino, why didn't you ever marry?

  Count Dino della Fiaba : For the same reason I never became a drunkard. One likes wine, but, one doesn't keep a bottle at his side, day and night. - I'm sorry. That was rude.

  Maria de Crevecoeur : Yes, no woman likes to think of herself as a bad habit.

  Count Dino della Fiaba : I think one could become addicted to you.

• Jane Hinkley : We can be awfully close, can't we? Because, I've never known anyone like you and you can tell me things I want to know. Will you? Will you teach me things?

  Count Dino della Fiaba : Whatever I can.

• Jane Hinkley : [after being pinched on her behind by a Frenchman]  Well, now I know I'm in Europe.

  Count Dino della Fiaba : This doesn't happen in America?

  Jane Hinkley : Only in department stores.

• Count Dino della Fiaba : Jane, if all American girls are like you, I wish I could start all over again and be born in Muncie, Indiana.

  Jane Hinkley : I'm glad you weren't.

  Count Dino della Fiaba : But, a difference in age does matter.

  Jane Hinkley : When I was five, you were already a grown man. But, when I was ten, you weren't much older. And now at nineteen, I've almost caught up to you!
