The Seven Year Itch
1955
The Girl: Hey, did you ever try dunking a potato chip in champagne? It's real crazy!
Richard Sherman: There's gin and vermouth. That's a martini. The Girl: Oh, that sounds cool! I think I'll have a glass of that. A big tall one!
Helen Sherman: (in Richard's fantasy) Lately you've begun to imagine in Cinemascope... with stereophonic sound.
The Girl: I just hope it's not some priceless antique or something. Richard Sherman: Forget it. Just early Sears, Roebuck.
(Richard exhales after a long drag on a forbidden cigarette) Richard Sherman: All those lovely, injurious tars and resins.
The Girl: (in Richard's fantasy) It shakes me! It quakes me! It makes me feel goose-pimply all over!
The Girl: I think that's just elegant.
Richard Sherman: Miss Morris, I'm perfectly capable of fixing my own breakfast. As a matter of fact, I had a peanut butter sandwich and two whiskey sours.
Dr Brubaker: My 3: 00 patient jumped out of the window in the middle of his session. I have been running fifteen minutes ahead of schedule ever since.
Dr Brubaker: Until you are able to commit a simple act of terror, I strongly advise you to avoid anything as complex as murder.
The Girl: When it gets hot like this, you know what I do? I keep my undies in the icebox!
Richard Sherman: It sort of cools the ankles, doesn't it?
Tom MacKenzie: What blonde in the kitchen? Richard Sherman: Wouldn't you like to know! Maybe it's Marilyn Monroe!
(Reading the cover of his book) Dr Brubaker: "Of Sex and Violence"? Richard Sherman: Well we had to spice up the title a little.
The Girl: Do you have any kids? Richard Sherman: No. None. No kids. Well, just one. Little one. Hardly counts.
Dr Brubaker: At fifty dollars an hour, all my cases are interesting.
Richard Sherman: I know girls like this! They just can't keep their big mouths shut! This is gonna be all over New York... she's probably telling someone about it right now... yaddida yaddida yaddida... (cuts to The Girl gossiping about their crazy night) ... I knew it! I knew it! Big blabbermouth!
Richard Sherman: Miss, may I have the check, please? Waitress at Vegetarian Restaurant: Oh, yes, sir. Now let's see... we had the number seven special, a soybean hamburger with french-fried soybeans... Soybean sherbet and peppermint tea. Richard Sherman: Don't forget I had a cocktail to start. Waitress at Vegetarian Restaurant: Oh yes, we had the sauerkraut juice on the rocks, didn't we? You will be proud to know that your entire meal with the cocktail was only 260 calories. Richard Sherman: I am proud.
The Girl: Maybe if I took the little fan, put it in the icebox, then left the icebox door open, then left the bedroom door open, and soak the sheets and pillowcase in ice water... no, that's too icky!
