Quotes
-
Maxine Richter : [Talking about a nude portraid of herself] This was the only thing my husband left me. He was a... connoisseur of art.
Joe Jarrett : It's a shame he didn't leave you any clothes to go with it.
-
Maxine Richter : How do you feel about marriage, Joe?
Joe Jarrett : Fine, but who'd have us?
[pause]
Joe Jarrett : Oh, no, Max. You're not thinking about marriage?
Maxine Richter : No. Of course not. Why should I think about marriage?
Joe Jarrett : That's why I like you, Max. You got brains. You think like a man.
Maxine Richter : I'm glad, Joe. Then it doesn't bother you that I'm a woman?
Joe Jarrett : With what you got on, I'd be in trouble if you were a man.
-
Elya Carlson : [from trailer] In this country, you really need only a little patience and self discipline.
Maxine Richter : Discipline?
Elya Carlson : Yes, to know what to give and when to get it. And I must say my dear, you do know when and what.
-
Maxine Richter : There is an unwritten law of the sea, I must make you welcome on my ship. Come aboard.
Joe Jarrett : Yes, Ma'am!
-
Maxine Richter : I'm looking for a deal. If somebody wanted to fix this boat up as a gambling casino, for instance, I would be interested in any proposition.
Joe Jarrett : I like the service on this boat. I think I could make you a proposition.
Maxine Richter : Good!
-
Joe Jarrett : I have no complaints about the hospitality here.
Maxine Richter : You have been pleased?
Joe Jarrett : Oh, yes, Ma'am. It was a pleasure being onboard. But, I was just wondering about a few little details . Why did you take those shots at me?
Maxine Richter : The men here think a European woman is "available." Just like so! But, the shots were a warning. I can be approached; but, on my own terms.
Joe Jarrett : Oh, I see. Courtship European style. Well, I like everything about it; except the first few minutes.
Maxine Richter : Oh, I wasn't trying to hit you. It was just a - how you say - a come along.
Joe Jarrett : Come along? Oh, a come on!
Maxine Richter : Yeah, come on.
Joe Jarrett : A 30 caliber come on.
-
Joe Jarrett : I got a funny feeling I'm being used.
Maxine Richter : No. You are not being used. You are being served.
Joe Jarrett : I'm being served? Alright, but, why me? Why was I elected? Why not Zachary Thomas, for instance?
Maxine Richter : Well, I was giving him the "come along" too. But, Angel told me you got the money.
Joe Jarrett : You know, fortunately, I like honesty in a partner.
-
Joe Jarrett : Alright, honey, you throw in the boat, I'll throw in the money, have it all fixed up, we'll split 50-50, equal partners.
Maxine Richter : Equal partners will not work.
Joe Jarrett : Now, wait a minute, I don't take orders too good.
Maxine Richter : But, I do! You will give the orders. You will be the master.
Joe Jarrett : I give the orders?
[hands Maxine an empty glass]
Joe Jarrett : Make that new, fill it up. Another drink.
Maxine Richter : Yes, sir.
-
Joe Jarrett : You know, what I don't understand about European women is why would you want me to be lord and master when I offered you an equal partnership?
Maxine Richter : It's because of my training, Joe. How things should be between a man and a woman. A man is a partner I don't understand. But, a master. A master - him I know how to handle.
Joe Jarrett : Don't go away, Max. I just thought of another order.
-
Maxine Richter : Joe, there is no reason to be jealous. Alright, so I gave Zach Thomas a little "come along." But, Joe, I didn't let dem come aboard.
-
Maxine Richter : [showing off a new dress] How do you like it?
Joe Jarrett : Just ease it across the hips a little and bring up the neckline.
Elya Carlson : Oh, I understand, Monsieur, how it is when men contemplates marriage.
Joe Jarrett : Marriage? Marriage is for married people.
Elya Carlson : Of course. Now that you're serious, you're already acting like a husband.
Joe Jarrett : I am most definitely not a husband and I don't ever, ever intend to become one. Besides, marriage has nothing to do with it. It's alright with me if she wants to go out in the...
Maxine Richter : The all together, Joe?
Joe Jarrett : Put it anyway you want.
Zack Thomas : But, if you show the suckers everything at once, they may not come back.
-
Maxine Richter : How do you like my new negligee?
-
Maxine Richter : You haven't even noticed what I'm wearing.
Joe Jarrett : You're wearing something?
-
Maxine Richter : I like men who worry about me.
Joe Jarrett : You don't have to worry about me. I'm a great worrier. Sometimes I worry for months on end.
-
Maxine Richter : I was afraid after dis afternoon you might think my gown is too revealing.
Joe Jarrett : Huh?
Maxine Richter : Do you think my gown is too revealing, Joe?
Joe Jarrett : Oh, no, no. Too many clothes, you get overheated. It's unhealthy!
-
Maxine Richter : Most American men, I discovered, pretend to dislike in public what they prefer in private.
Joe Jarrett : Well, I'm not exactly in favor of a crowd. But, if you want an audience, you go to a saloon.
-
Maxine Richter : Will you do it for me, Joe? Open the windows in my cabin?
-
Maxine Richter : But, I think like a man, Joe. You said so yourself.
Joe Jarrett : But, you sure don't look like a man.
-
Maxine Richter : Please, Joe.
Joe Jarrett : No.
Maxine Richter : Joe, please.
Joe Jarrett : No!
Maxine Richter : Please, Joe.
Joe Jarrett : No.
Maxine Richter : Joe. I'll be in here, Joe. I'll wait for you. Please, Joe.
Joe Jarrett : No.
Maxine Richter : Joe, please.
Joe Jarrett : Why should I be strong?
