Movie Dialogue Sample
00:32:19,904 --> 00:32:23,032
- That's the way I like it.
- Get your hands on some money.
563
00:32:23,141 --> 00:32:25,632
- Money.
- Then promote yourself, and the rest will follow.
564
00:32:25,743 --> 00:32:29,975
<i>And I mean real money,
not the few pennies I owe you.</i>
565
00:32:30,081 --> 00:32:34,347
<i>See, you can't sleep in bohemia
and commute to the real world.</i>
566
00:32:34,452 --> 00:32:38,445
It doesn't work that way.
And don't give me that blank look!
567
00:32:38,556 --> 00:32:41,855
There is real money out there for you.
I wish I could say the same.
568
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,727
<i>- Really?
- Yeah, big money practically staring you in the face.</i>
569
00:32:46,831 --> 00:32:50,130
Have you seen your lost love lately?
570
00:32:55,273 --> 00:32:57,241
No. Why?
571
00:32:57,342 --> 00:33:00,209
What did Joanna take with her
when she ran out on you?
572
00:33:00,311 --> 00:33:02,711
Joanna... All right.
At least hold on to your keys.
573
00:33:02,814 --> 00:33:05,806
Nothing.
574
00:33:05,917 --> 00:33:09,375
- I don't want the keys.
- Wait a minute. Wait. Here. You'll be in the neighborhood.
575
00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:13,389
- Then I'll call you.
- Joanna, just take the keys.
576
00:33:13,491 --> 00:33:15,220
- You'll need them.
- How am I gonna need them?
577
00:33:15,326 --> 00:33:18,454
You'll meet another sweet thing.
578
00:33:18,563 --> 00:33:22,021
- No.
- Joanna. Jo...
579
00:33:31,275 --> 00:33:34,005
<i>Guilt. She ran off with guilt...</i>
580
00:33:34,112 --> 00:33:36,842
<i>which is one step removed from gelt.</i>
581
00:33:36,948 --> 00:33:41,408
What are you suggesting?
I filch guilt money from Joanna?
582
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:43,646
Well, you should make an ignoble try.
583
00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:46,019
<i>- Can you?
- Naturally.</i>
584
00:33:46,124 --> 00:33:49,184
- Naturally?
- Harry, you sit on a very high moral plane.
585
00:33:49,293 --> 00:33:51,193
I'm merely trying to get along.
586
00:33:51,295 --> 00:33:54,264
Well, why don't you
squeeze money out of Mavis?
587
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:57,357
You love to tell me how loaded she is.
Why don't you extort from her?
588
00:33:57,468 --> 00:33:59,959
<i>Mavis is, yes, exquisitely rich.</i>
589
00:34:00,071 --> 00:34:04,201
Unfortunately, she doesn't begin to
appreciate the concept of the word "guilt."
590
00:34:04,308 --> 00:34:06,208
Maybe that's because you left her.
591
00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:08,608
<i>- There are other won'thy guilts, Harry.
- Really?</i>
592
00:34:08,713 --> 00:34:11,511
She just doesn't take the cue,
and I do feed it to her.
593
00:34:11,616 --> 00:34:13,709
Relentlessly tell her she's guilty.
594
00:34:13,818 --> 00:34:16,286
<i>- Of what?
- What does it matter? It doesn't matter.</i>
595
00:34:16,387 --> 00:34:19,356
All that matters is there's no real payoff.
596
00:34:19,457 --> 00:34:22,449
And I have to sleep with her
for a lousy C-note.
597
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,585
She gives you a hundred
to sleep with her?
598
00:34:24,695 --> 00:34:28,961
I find it in my pocket on my way home,
along with a chocolate caramel.
599
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:31,695
But it's not an easy buck,
I assure you.
600
00:34:31,803 --> 00:34:34,328
And any more than that,
I have to move back in.
601
00:34:34,439 --> 00:34:37,408
- Jake, do you want a divorce?
- No.
602
00:34:37,508 --> 00:34:40,341
- Do you want to move back in?
- No.
603
00:34:40,445 --> 00:34:42,606
Do you still love me?
604
00:34:44,082 --> 00:34:47,176
I have no idea what you mean
by that question.
605
00:34:47,285 --> 00:34:51,415
- How much did she inerit?
- Stop snooping. Plenty.
606
00:34:51,522 --> 00:34:55,458
- Only you're not gonna move back in to get it.
- My, aren't you the wag?
607
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,790
Why? Because it's a compromise?
608
00:34:57,895 --> 00:35:00,864
Well, it's a compromise
I'm not prepared to make.
609
00:35:00,965 --> 00:35:03,490
Not that I'm against
compromise per se, but...
610
00:35:03,601 --> 00:35:05,501
I'm against compromise per se.
611
00:35:05,603 --> 00:35:09,539
Once you start,
you inevitably turn into phlegm.
612
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:14,040
- Where did you hear that?
- What?
613
00:35:14,145 --> 00:35:17,444
That "phlegm" business.
You heard that from me.
614
00:35:17,548 --> 00:35:21,541
I did? When?
615
00:35:21,652 --> 00:35:25,611
A couple of years ago. That's something
I was saying a lot two years ago.
616
00:35:25,723 --> 00:35:28,521
- You stole that from me.
- I stole your phlegm business.
617
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:31,094
- Right out of my mouth.
- You want it back?
618
00:35:31,195 --> 00:35:34,221
<i>- Yes, exactly. I want it back.
- I have been using it.</i>
619
00:35:34,332 --> 00:35:36,960
But you have no right to use it.
620
00:35:37,068 --> 00:35:39,059
