Favorite Lines
This movie has some of the best dialogue I've ever heard. There were several times I stopped and rewound a scene to hear it again.
*A few plot spoilers here!*
Ballin: "You haven't much faith in the stability of women. One wonders what woman brought Johnny to this pretty pass."
Gilda: "One does. Let's hate her, shall we, Ballin?
Ballin: "Let's. Shall we, Johnny?"
Johnny: "Let's. That I'll drink to."
Delgado: "I would like permission to dance with your lady."
Johnny: "The answer is no."
Gilda: "The answer is yes. I'd love it."
Delgado: "But the young man..."
Gilda: "He'd love to, but can't afford it."
Johnny: "Your husband is showing."
Gilda: "You're out of practise, aren't you? Dancing, I mean. I could help you get in practise again. Dancing, I mean."
Johnny: "There are more women in the world than anything else. Except insects."
Gilda: "This is Gabe Evans. Isn't he cute?"
Johnny: "Just darling. Get him out of here."
Det. Obregon: "The atmosphere in here has always interested me. Now it fascinates me."
Gilda: "If I'd been a ranch, they would've named me The Bar Nothing."
Johnny: "Go anywhere, with anyone, but I'll take you there and bring you home. Exactly the way I take and pick up the laundry."
Gilda: "Shame on you. Any psychiatrist would say your thought associations are revealing."
Gilda: "Would it interest you to know how much I hate you, Johnny? I hate you so much that I'd destroy myself to take you down with me."
Johnny: "Her husband's death hit her hard. She asked me to represent her.
Associates: "We need be in no hurry to leave. She may recover."
Johnny: "Not a chance in the world. She's marrying me this afternoon."
