Quotes |
[Harry turns away when he sees Catherine swimming nude.]
Catherine Ames: Honestly, Harry. Did you see me in "The Last Rebel"? Harry Ames: Yeah. Catherine Ames: And you saw me in "The End of Desire"? Harry Ames: Yeah. Catherine Ames: Then I think you've seen everything there is of me to see. Harry Ames: I also remember a movie your husband made. He shot 12 guys with a 6-shot revolver. I ain't gonna argue with that kind of marksmanship. See more » |
