Quotes 

• Fran : I don't know what's come over me tonight. I'm tingling all over.

  Arthur Adamson : I told you about danger, didn't I? First it makes you sick, then when you get through it, it makes you very, very loving.

• Fran : Your friend, Blanche Tyler, is a spiritualist.

  Arthur Adamson : A spiritualist?

  Fran : That's what it says on her shingle. Also, there's no one home.

  Arthur Adamson : A spirit is never at home.

• Fran : My feet are killing me. These damn six-inch heels.

  Arthur Adamson : I happen to like tall women. Everybody likes tall women.

• Fran : Don't forget to empty that out.

  Arthur Adamson : Don't you think emptying a chemical toilet is a little below the dignity of a jewel collector?

  Fran : The wages of sin, Arthur.

  Arthur Adamson : I'll do it tomorrow.

  Fran : Never put off till tomorrow, what you can empty out tonight.

  Arthur Adamson : Bitch.

• Arthur Adamson : Let's go to bed.

  Fran : Tired?

  Arthur Adamson : Mm-mm. Tingling all over.

  Fran : How'd I ever let you get me into all this? I thought I fell in love with you because I needed some stability in my life.

  Arthur Adamson : Well, I guess you're just a bad judge of character.

  Fran : Where'd you put the diamond, dear?

  Arthur Adamson : Where everyone can see it.

  Fran : You didn't.

  Arthur Adamson : I did.

  Fran : Are you gonna tell me where?

  Arthur Adamson : You'll have to torture me first.

  Fran : Oh!

  [laughs] 

  Fran : I intend to. In a few minutes.

• Arthur Adamson : Did you say anything to them?

  Fran : Not a syllable.

  Arthur Adamson : Now, you see, honey? I told you you could learn to keep your mouth shut, if you tried.

• Fran : You better give me a quick synopsis. I'm confused.

  Arthur Adamson : Simple. A cab driver is shacked up with a sex-starved medium named Blanche Tyler. Don't ask me why, but apparently they're on the trail of some spook named Eddie Shoebridge.
