Thomas Crown

A woman could trust me as long as her interests weren't too contrary to my own.

Have you figured out what you're going to say to your board when they realize you paid me thirty million more than others were offering?

Do you want to dance? Or do you want to dance?

Catherine Banning

I saw him wreck a 100,000 dollar boat because he liked the splash.

You think I'd believe you'd leave your hard stolen painting around a Caribbean hut?

You're not boring, I'll give you that.

Dialogue

Thomas Crown: May I ask you a very personal question?

Catherine Banning: Why not.

Thomas Crown: Would you like another hit of espresso?

[Catherine looks confused.]

Thomas Crown: Would you..

Catherine Banning: ..like another hit of espresso, that's the very personal question?

Thomas Crown: That's as good as it gets.

Catherine Banning: Excuse me, may I ask you a very personal question?

Thomas Crown: Oh sure, by all means.

Catherine Banning: Do you really think I am going to sleep with the man I am investigating?

Thomas Crown: Is that the question?

Catherine Banning: Yes that's it.

Thomas Crown: Now why should I answer your question when you didn't seriously commit to my espresso?

Catherine Banning: All right, then I'll seriously commit to your espresso.

Catherine Banning: What makes you think they failed? Maybe it was a successful robbery. Maybe they were setup to fail.

Detective McCann: Why?

Catherine Banning: Diversion, make a lot of noise over there so over here in this room you can take a hundred million off the wall and waltz right out the front door. Oh that's good.

Catherine Banning: You complimented me.

Thomas Crown: How?

Catherine Banning: They were bankers.

Thomas Crown: Who?

Catherine Banning: Who? The suits. You're transferring assets. Getting ready to run.

Thomas Crown: Suppose I did run. What would you have? Not the painting, not the five million dollar fee, and not me.

Catherine Banning: Yes.

Thomas Crown: Suppose I gave you ten.

Catherine Banning: To fail? How would I hide it?

Thomas Crown: I'd teach you.

Catherine Banning: You really think there's happily ever after for people like us?

Catherine Banning: That island isn't Manhattan.

Thomas Crown: It's not?

Catherine Banning: I have appointments.

Thomas Crown: Wanna keep 'em?

Catherine Banning: Oh! This must go over!

Thomas Crown: With whom?

Catherine Banning: Whoever you bring here.

Thomas Crown: I never bring anyone here.
