quotable

Billy Wilder’s “Love in the Afternoon” has several memorable lines, including this exchange between Audrey Hepburn and a would-be suitor:

"They're very odd people, you know. When they're young, they have their teeth straightened, their tonsils taken out, and gallons of vitamins pumped into them. Something happens to their insides. They become immunized, mechanized, air conditioned, and hydromatic. I'm not even sure whether he has a heart."

"Is he a creature from outer space?"

"No, he's an American."
