Quotes 

• Tanya Borodoff : Life didn't mean a thing to me till I met you; now it means everything. There isn't anything in it that isn't you. That's why... sometimes I'm afraid of the future, afraid that I may lose you.

  Tony Evans : Darling, no one should mean that much to you. There's nothing more uncertain than the life of a man like me. You're so young and so beautiful, and you will be for a long time to come. Remember, no matter what happens, I want you to promise you'll keep your chin up. Promise? Always keep your chin up.

• Tanya Borodoff : [at Nick's Rangoon nightclub]  All these girls, what are they?

  Tony Evans : Just like café girls anywhere.

  Tanya Borodoff : What do you mean?

  Tony Evans : I mean exactly that, my dear.

• [first lines] 

  Tony Evans : You've got me in a tough spot, Nick.

  Nick : No. You got yourself in a tough spot. You tried to get along without me and you do what you call, "loose your shirt." It isn't my fault.

• Tony Evans : You're sweet.

  Tanya Borodoff : I want to be - for you.

• Nick : Aren't you tired of her?

  Tony Evans : No. She's different.

  Nick : Exactly! That's why I'm going to make her my hostess here.

  Tony Evans : Hostess?

  Nick : Yes.

  Tony Evans : If I left her here, what makes you think she's going to stay?

  Nick : I'll take my chances. I'm in a position to bargain, you're not. Go and buy your guns in Singapore - if you can find someone who'll give you credit. In another month you won't own that fine yacht out there. You'll be ashore, busted, with a woman hanging around your neck.
