A: The time has come for her to take some real risks.
B: Well yes, she's thinking about it. She's thinking of a stratagem.
A: Yes, she likes stratagems, doesn't she?
B: Yes.
A: She's a bit of a coward. That's why I have trouble with her eyes.
2.
A: And just who is this "Phantom Lady"?
B: Well, it's my mother really, I call her that ... to pretend it's a story ... that's happening to someone else, you see.
A: Why do you pretend that?
B: Because otherwise I might cry and never stop.

3.
A: The truth is we're both frauds. Your ancestors never sent me, they don't even like me. But you risked your life to help people you love. I risked your life to help myself. At least you had good intentions.
[B chirps sadly at A]
A: What? What do you mean you're not lucky? You lied to me? [to C's horse] And what are you, a sheep?

A: Oh, you don't understand! --- I'm a man.
B: Well, nobody's perfect.
Some Like It Hot, guessed by nimielle
5.
A: Look, men don't just get into window seats and die!
B: We know, dear. He died first.
A: Wait a minute! Stop all this. Now, look, darling, how did he die?
B: Oh, don't be so inquisitive. The gentleman died because he drank some wine with poison in it.
A: How did the poison get in the wine?
C: Well, we put it in wine, because it's less noticeable. When it's in tea, it has a distinct odor.
A: You mean, you... You put it in the wine!
B: Yes. And I put Mr. Hoskins in the window seat, because Reverend Harper was coming.
A: Now, look at me, darling. You mean, you mean you knew what you'd done and you didn't want the Reverend Harper to see the body?
B: Well, not at tea. That wouldn't have been very nice.
Arsenic and Old Lace, guessed by nimielle
6.
A: [reading from a report] "Washburn, Jane. Age five."
B: Lovely girl.
A: "Lost in the park."
B: Independence, that's all that girl needs.
A: "For six hours. - The Randle boys, John and Robin. Wrestled retired Colonel Johnson to the floor outside Fortnum and Mason's, shouting 'Nazi warmonger'. Because," and I quote, "B thought he was a German spy."
B: [unconvincingly] A little... joke.
A: "Ambulance called, police called."
7.
A: What do you expect me to do, go and pine away in Normandy? Stop dyeing my hair? Is that what you want?
B: Yes.
A: You're not the first young man I've said goodbye to.
B: Yes, I know, but what I thought might be appropriate is if I were the last.
8.
A: Do you really wanna be my secretary?
B: Yes, I do.
A: This isn't just about typos, tapes, staples and pencils, is it?
B: No, Sir.
A: What?
B: No, Sir!
Secretary, guessed by nimielle
9.
A: I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.
American Psycho, guessed by shecanread
10.
A: A long time ago, I was in Burma, my friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never found anyone who traded with him. One day I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.
B: Then why steal them?
A: Because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
