## 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.
* Men make women messy.

## The Psychiatrist

* Has it occurred to you that you have a problem with trust?

## 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.
