Grace Kelly, “The Swan”, 1956

“Aren’t you insulted? Aren’t you going to cry? Aren’t you going to make a scene?” “He’s quite harmless.“ “Look, men don’t just get into window seats and die.” “How did the poison get in the wine?” “Dear, I think you’re wrong.” “Oh, I was counting the first one, and that makes it twelve.” “How can I believe you?” “There are twelve men down in the cellar and you admit you poisoned them.” “Look, you can’t do things like that.” “Even the cat is in on it.” “Have you ever tried to persuade him that he wasn’t Teddy Roosevelt?” “Did everybody in Brooklyn know I was going to get married except me?” “Don’t worry about Halloween. The pixies won’t be out till after midnight.” “No, I’m not drunk, but you’ve given me an idea.” “Do you remember how he used to cut worms in two with his teeth?” “I’m sorry, a thing happened.” “The neighbors have been complaining, and the police are all set to throw him into a state institution.” “I probably should have told you this before but, you see… insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.” “I mean, you wouldn’t want to set up housekeeping in a padded cell. Oh, it would be bad.” “I couldn’t wait to escape from this house. Now, I’m glad to escape back into it.“ “We got a hot stiff on our hands.” “My, how I’ve changed…” “Where did you get that face? Hollywood?” “Now, I suppose you’re going to tell me that you’re Boris Karloff!” “A taxi is waiting and now you want to sleep on a window seat?” “He wouldn’t have died of pneumonia if I hadn’t shot him.” “There’s an elderly gentleman down there who seems to be very dead.” “I’m Woodrow Wilson. Go to bed.” “Well….bon voyage.” “The old ladies are just as good as you are!” “Yeah, what a play. When the curtain goes up the first thing you see is a dead body.” “You know, you were right about that fellow. He wasn’t very bright.” “Besides, he said I looked like Boris Karloff.” “Ingenious! My compliments to the boys in the code department. “Don’t do that. It never works- what do ya know, it worked.” “Certainly there are thirteen bodies in the cellar and there are hundreds more in the attic!” “AND I’M A COFFEE POT.”
