• Cincinnati Kid : Listen, Christian, after the game, I'll be The Man. I'll be the best there is. People will sit down at the table with you, just so they can say they played with The Man. And that's what I'm gonna be, Christian.

  Christian : I know.

• Cincinnati Kid : What'd you do today?

  Christian : I went to the movies - and it was *all* in French.

  Cincinnati Kid : In French, huh?

  Christian : Yeah! You know what they do? They sign the words in at the bottom of the picture, in English, so that you could understand it.

  Cincinnati Kid : Oh yeah?

  Christian : Yeah!

  Cincinnati Kid : Oh, it wasn't in French.

  Christian : Huh? What?

• Christian : You'll never guess where we've just been.

  Cincinnati Kid : Stag movies?

  Christian : We went to Turkish baths and we had rubdowns and everything!

  Melba : Yeah. You should have been there.

  Christian : Yeah!

• Christian : Well, you and the Shooter are married. Now, that's somethin'.

  Melba : It's nothin'. Believe you me, honey, it's nothin'.

• Christian : [looking at a swim suit window display]  Would you really wear a thing like that?

  Melba : Why not? I got nothin' to hide. Hey, I bet you'd look good in one too.

  Christian : Oh, no, I couldn't. I just couldn't wear that!

• Christian : Well, this Spanish General has sent the message that he's coming to spend the night with his army. Now, the men in the town are scared silly; so, the wives and the daughters tell them not to worry and go away and hide someplace and let them bargain with him. You see?

  Cincinnati Kid : Who?

  Christian : Well, the ladies - with the Spanish Army. I won't tell it anymore.

  Cincinnati Kid : No, go ahead.

  Christian : No, I won't tell it. No.

  Cincinnati Kid : Just tell me what happens.

  Christian : No! You won't believe this. But, the women get together and have this big party and they all go to - bed with the Spanish Army.

  Cincinnati Kid : Oh, yeah?

  Christian : Anyway, come morning - the soldiers go off, and everybody's happy.

  Cincinnati Kid : Yeah, and the husbands are happy?

  Christian : Yeah, husbands, fathers, everybody. It seems they - it seems they cared more about their lives than they did about their honor. Does that seem right to you?

• Melba : You ever been to the - Turkish bath?

  Christian : Turkish baths? French movies? I don't know about you, Melba.

  Melba : Well, then, come on and find out. The Turkish bath leaves *nothin'* to the imagination.

  Christian : But I wouldn't know what to do in a Turkish bath.

  Melba : But that's what's so marvelous. You don't do anything. They do it to ya. Come on!

  Christian : They do it to ya?

• Christian : I used to come here and play when I was a little one. I'd dream, mostly.

  Cincinnati Kid : Yeah? About what?

  Christian : Oh, just things that little girls dream about.
