Quotes6

  • Michael: Ice pick?
  • Delysia: It's in the drawer. Somewhere! Ice in the Fridgedair?
  • Michael: I want the pick for murder, not ice.
  • Delysia: However did you get in?
  • Michael: One picks up a few tricks in prison, you know, breaking and entering being one of them.
  • Michael: Pure and simple, I want you to marry me, and it's a one word conversation Delysia.
  • Guinevere Pettigrew: Don't you think, that on such a momentous occasion, a little time should be allowed?
  • Michael: Oh, stalling tactic. Is it because I'm not rich enough for her?
  • Guinevere Pettigrew: Certainly not.
  • Michael: Well, it's true. I'm wearing most of my worldly possessions. I could never afford this kind of blackmail.
  • [gestures around Nick's flat]
  • Delysia: Oh, and who pays you for playing the piano, huh? Are you telling me you give Nick his money back after every show?
  • Michael: No, and every damned shilling I take hurts me to the bone, which is why it's got to change Delysia. Money or love, that's the question I'm asking. Here's the deal: I'll play for you today, Delysia, and for the rest of your life if you'll marry me. Never again if you don't.
  • [after Delysia has refused to sing]
  • Michael: She said no.
  • Nick: What, and she does what you say?
  • Michael: Never once, as a matter of fact, but that's not the point.
  • Michael: After an hour of waiting for her, I broke open the champagne.
  • Guinevere Pettigrew: Oh, dear.
  • Michael: Then floating past the Tower of London, I had a brain wave. Decided the ring I had wasn't good enough for her. And when a man wants a diamond, what better place to get it?
  • Delysia: Is the offer still open?
  • Nick: Get up!
  • [Michael stands and nick knocks him back down with a punch to the nose]
  • Delysia: Well, is it a yes or is it a no?
  • Michael: What?
  • Delysia: Well will you doggone marry me or will you doggone not?
  • [he grins in delight, scrambles up, socks Nick square in the jaw, and pulls Delysia to her feet]
  • Michael: Yes. God help me, yes!
  • [they kiss fervently]
