  Marianne Horne : Last week an American woman was robbed in the Simplon Express. Stripped right down to her teddies!

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : *No*!

  Marianne Horne : What would you do if you found yourself in your teddies?

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : What would *you* do??

  Marianne Horne : Let the train go on!

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : [laughing]  Lost soul!

  Marianne Horne : When I'm travelling at the rate of 80 miles per hour, I'm not responsible for my actions.

• Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : There now, you can go!

  Marianne Horne : Be displeased with me! I can't help it. I'm a respectable woman and I'm afraid.

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : Don't you think I'm afraid? I shan't close my eyes all night.

  Marianne Horne : Well, this is *one* night I shall be very glad to be with my husband!

• Marianne Horne : Twenty-eight carats! Really, Teri, you must tell me your secret. Four carats is the best I've been able to do and that had a flaw in it.

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : What wouldn't a woman do for such a treasure.

  Marianne Horne : Oh, anything! I'd deceive my husband, with pleasure.

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : Oh, a woman would do much more than that! She would tolerate her husband!

• Marianne Horne : [observing diamond rings being placed onto velvet cushions by Hollander]  Oh look! All the little jewels going virtuously to bed for Papa!

  Hollander the Jeweler : Their Papa prefers them less virtuous. There's no profit in sleeping at home.

  Marianne Horne : A-ha! I must remember that!

• Marianne Horne : Imagine having a husband like yours, who would gladly spend a fortune, just to make you happy. You are a lucky girl, Teri. Don't you think so?

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : I did think so. For a month now, it was thrilling and exciting; but, then it became dull.

  Marianne Horne : What?

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : Unbearably dull!

  Marianne Horne : Good gracious! Married to eight million!

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : Eight fifty-five with chronic gout.

• Marianne Horne : For your lovers, you may have your choice! Cabinet ministers, Diplomats, Men of Affairs!

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : When a man achieves the distinction of a red sash across his shirt front, his chest, my dear, is the most important part of his anatomy.

• Marianne Horne : Not emeralds, sapphires.

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : Sapphires! My first love!

  Marianne Horne : And your latest?

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : Diamonds. White. Pure. Cold.

  Marianne Horne : Virginal! And men?

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : I haven't found one to supplant my jewels.

• Marianne Horne : Oh, they are silly to expect a woman to tell the truth about what happened - when she was alone with a man!

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : Imagine!

• Marianne Horne : Do you know what I object to most?

  Count Andre : No, what?

  Marianne Horne : Her own husband is buying it for her. Imagine getting ahold of a prize like that in such a respectable fashion. Oh, it's disgraceful! Her own husband!

• Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : Marianne, you're not going to desert me in this crisis?

  Marianne Horne : I don't mind a little flirtation; but, this is going too far.

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : Oh, please, please. Just stay the night.

  Marianne Horne : I should say not! They'll be a scandal and I'm going to protect myself.

  Baroness Teri von Horhenfels : How ashamed you'll be in the morning for having deserted me!
