- Paul Chevron: [sees the horse] Exactly what I had in mind.
- Nora Taylor: [looks at the rider Roberto, played by Ricardo Montalban] Yes... yes indeed!
- Paul Chevron: Nora, listen. Yesterday afternoon you saw a face, just a face, for two minutes. You went back there last night with that headache and...
- Nora Taylor: Oh, that's one thing I feel terrible about, that headache, but...
- Paul Chevron: [Interrupts Nora] You went back there last night with that headache and on the basis of another few hours that face asked you to *marry* him?
- Roberto Santos: In the first place I would prefer you not to address other men as *"darling."*
- Nora Taylor: I've always called Paul "darling."
- Roberto Santos: It is now the time to stop. In the second place...
- Nora Taylor: I'm trying to figure out why I came out here with you like an imbecile.
- [More to herself]
- Nora Taylor: Because I didn't want to make a scene in public... that must be why. All right, go on with the second place.
- Roberto Santos: In the second place don't *ever* walk out on me again.
- Nora Taylor: And if I do?
- Roberto Santos: Since I would never come hurrying after you again you will have to come back all by yourself to say you're sorry. And that'll be very humiliating for you.
- Nora Taylor: You're an unusually arrogant man.
- Roberto Santos: No. I'm merely truthful.
- Nora Taylor: But the trouble is you're making *me* the heavy.
- Roberto Santos: [Looking her up and down] But you're not heavy.
- Nora Taylor: Oh, that's an idiom!
- Roberto Santos: [At night, while they are overlooking the city from a balcony] You like our city?
- Nora Taylor: You know, it might not be you that I'm in love with. It might be Brazil.
- Roberto Santos: In that case I will not be jealous.
- Grandfather Eduardo Santos: [to Nora, after finding out she is extremely wealthy] It is difficult for a simple man to, uh... take this in, you know.
- Roberto Santos: *You* are a *simple man*, Grandfather?
- Grandfather Eduardo Santos: Oh yes, when I was young I was complicated, but as I grew more sophisticated, naturally, I grew more simple.
- Paul Chevron: [Ranting after being injured playing polo and being carried off on a stretcher] It was a badly trained pony, I tell you. It was not my fault, it is a very badly trained pony. Besides Don rode me down, he was way out of position there. And besides, it was a very badly trained pony! I should know! I trained him.
- Grandfather Eduardo Santos: Women are always strange. And never more so than when they are about to marry. *That* brings out the *idiot* in them.
- Grandfather Eduardo Santos: Be calm, be calm, my boy. Nora will be here. Señor Chevron is bringing her.
- Roberto Santos: I don't trust him. He looks too trustworthy.
- Nora Taylor: [to Anne] Listen, I'll give you a lesson in high finance: Them that has wants more. You're flattered for it, wanted for it, and loved for it. And at the same time you're cheated for it, insulted for it and hated for it. Keep it, you're dead. Give it away, it's too late, the damage is already done.
- Nora Taylor: [Looks around the polo grounds] Where's Grandfather?
- Roberto Santos: Oh, he, uh, met a girl he knew in the 19th century.
