Holly Golightly: But I am mad about Jose. I honestly think I'd give up smoking if he asked me.

Holly Golightly: All right, so he's not a regular rat, or even a super rat. Just a scared little mouse, that's all. But oh, golly! Gee damn!

Paul Varjak: Sing Sing?
Holly Golightly: [she gargles] . Yes. I always thought it was a ridiculous name for a prison. Sing Sing, I mean. Sounds more like it should be an opera house or something.

Paul Varjak: They're not the kind of stories you can really tell.
Holly Golightly: Too dirty?
Paul Varjak: Yeah, I suppose they're dirty, too, but only incidentally. Mainly they're angry, sensitive, intensely felt, and that dirtiest of all dirty words - promising. Or so said The Times Book Review, October 1, 1956.

Holly Golightly: I'm not hotfooting it after Jose, if that's what you think. Ohhh no. As far as I'm concerned he's the future president of nowhere.

Holly Golightly: Mag Wildwood. She's a model, believe it or not, and a thumping bore.

[entering Paul's bedroom from the fire escape]
Holly Golightly: 's alright. It's only me.
Paul Varjak: Uh... Now wait a minute, Miss... uh...
Holly Golightly: Golightly. Holly Golightly. I live downstairs. We met this morning, remember?
Paul Varjak: Yeah.

Holly Golightly: [got threatened with the vice squad for coming in late and disturbing neighbor's sleep] Don't be angry, you dear little man. I won't do it again. If you promise not to be angry, I might let you take those pictures you mentioned.
Mr. Yunioshi: [eagerly] When?
Holly Golightly: Some time.
Mr.

Yunioshi: [meek little lamb now] Any time...
Holly Golightly: Good night.

Paul Varjak: Oh, the earplugs. I can't go through the whole thing again. Sufficient to say, I've come to make up. And as an added inducement, I have all kinds of news. Can I come in?
Holly Golightly: [smiles] I guess so. Just a minute. Do I have a nightgown on?
[looks down]
Holly Golightly: No, I don"t. Would you mind turning

around for a second? Oh, never mind, that's a corny line, anyway. I'll turn around myself. Come in!
Paul Varjak: [enters] Have... you seen the paper?
Holly Golightly: Mm. Rusty, you mean?
Paul Varjak: Mm.
Holly Golightly: Yes, I know all about it. Certainly had him... pegged wrong, didn't I? I thought

he was just a rat. But he was a super rat all along. A super rat in rat's clothing.
[opens refrigerator]
Holly Golightly: You don't even know the best part. Not only was he a rather super rat, he was also broke. Broke! I mean, but not a farthing. His family has money, of course, but he personally is broke. Turns out he owes $700 000. Can you imagine anyone owing $700

000? $43, yes. And thats why he decided to marry the queen of the pig people. I'll tell you one thing, Fred, darling, I'd marry you for your money in a minute. Would you marry me for my money?
Paul Varjak: In a minute.
Holly Golightly: I guess it's lucky neither of us is rich, huh?
Paul Varjak: [nods wistfully] Yeah.
