“- Paul Varjak: Sally Tomato?
- Holly Golightly: Oh, don’t look so shocked. They couldn’t prove he was even part of the mafia, much less head of it. My dear, the only thing that they did was prove that he cheated at his income tax. Anyway, all I know is that he’s a darling old man. He was never my lover or anything like that. In fact, I never...” (continue)(continue reading)“- Paul Varjak: Is she or isn’t she what?
- O.J. Berman: A phony.
- Paul Varjak: I don’t know. I don’t think so.
- O.J. Berman: So, you don’t, huh? Well, you’re wrong. She is. Uh, on the
other hand, you’re right, because she’s a real phony. You know why?
Because she honestly believes all this phony junk that she believes in. I
mean it. Now...” (continue)(continue reading)“It's better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear.”
“- Holly Golightly: I’ve got to do something about the way I look. I mean a girl just can’t go to Sing Sing with a green face.
- Paul Varjak: Sing Sing?
- Holly Golightly: I always thought it was a ridiculous name for a prison. Sing Sing, I mean. It sounds more like it should be an opera house or something.
Black, alligator. You know all the...” (continue)(continue reading)“I've got to do something about the way I look. I mean a girl just can't go to Sing Sing with a green face.”
“I’m not Holly. I’m not Lula Mae, either. I don’t know who I am! I’m like Cat here, We’re a couple of no-name slobs. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don’t even belong to each other. Stop the cab. What do you think? This ought to be the right kind place for a tough guy like you - garbage cans, rats galore. Scram! I said take off!...” (continue)(continue reading)
“- Doc Golightly: I love you Lula Mae.
- Holly Golightly: I know you do, and that's just the trouble. It's the mistake you always made, Doc, trying to love a wild thing. You were always lugging home wild things. Once it was a hawk with a broken wing... and another time it was a full-grown wildcat with a broken leg. Remember?
- Doc Golightly: Lula...” (continue)(continue reading)“- Holly Golightly: Thursday! It can't be! It's too gruesome!
- Paul Varjak: What's so gruesome about Thursday?
- Holly Golightly: Nothing, except I can never remember when it's coming up.”“- Paul Varjak: [reaches into his pocket at the Tiffany's counter] We could have something engraved, couldn't we?
- Tiffany's salesman: Yes, I suppose so, yes indeed... the only problem is you would more or less have to buy something first if only in order to have some object upon which to place the engraving... You see the difficulty...
- Paul...” (continue)(continue reading)“You could always tell what kind of a person a man thinks you are by the earrings he gives you. I must say, the mind reels.”
“- Paul Varjak: I love you.
- Holly Golightly: So what.
- Paul Varjak: So what? So plenty! I love you, you belong to me!
- Holly Golightly: [tearfully] No. People don't belong to people.
- Paul Varjak: Of course they do!
- Holly Golightly: I'll never let anybody put me in a cage.
- Paul Varjak: I don't want to put you in a cage, I want to love you!”“- Paul Varjak: Why are you crying?
- Holly Golightly: [wakes up] If we're going to be friends let's get one thing straight right now. I hate snoops!”
