What do you take me for? I don't know that I'd take you for anything. Is it possible, even...
Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Addison DeWitt:
What do you take me for?
Eve:
I don't know that I'd take you for anything.
Addison DeWitt:
Is it possible, even conceivable, that you've confused me with that gang of backward children you play tricks on, that you have the same contempt for me as you have for them?
Eve:
I'm sure you mean something by that, Addison, but I don't know what.
Addison DeWitt:
Look closely, Eve. It's time you did. I am Addison DeWitt. I am nobody's fool, least of all yours.
Eve:
I never intended you to be.
Addison DeWitt:
Yes you did, and you still do.
Eve:
I still don't know what you're getting at, but right now I want to take my nap. It's important...
Addison DeWitt:
It's important right now that we talk, killer to killer.
Eve:
Champion to champion.
Addison DeWitt:
Not with me, you're no champion. You're stepping way up in class.
Eve:
Addison, will you please say what you have to say, plainly and distinctly, and then get out, so I can take my nap?
Addison DeWitt:
Very well - plainly and distinctly - though I consider it unnecessary because you know as well as I do what I'm going to say: Lloyd may leave Karen, but he will not leave Karen for you.
Eve:
What do you mean by that?
Addison DeWitt:
More plainly and more distinctly: I have not come to New Haven to see the play, discuss your dreams, or pull the ivy from the walls of Yale. I have come here to tell you that you will not marry Lloyd, or anyone else for that matter, because I will not permit it.
Eve:
What have you got to do with it?
Addison DeWitt:
Everything, because after tonight, you will belong to me.
Eve:
Belong? To you? I can't believe my ears!
Addison DeWitt:
What a dull cliché.
Eve:
Belong to you - why, that sounds medieval, something out of an old melodrama!
Addison DeWitt:
So does the history of the world for the past twenty years. I don't enjoy putting it as bluntly as this. Frankly, I'd hoped that somehow you would have known, that you would have taken it for granted that you and I...
Eve:
Taken it for granted that you and I...
[laughs]
Addison DeWitt:
[slaps her]
Now, remember, as long as you live, never to laugh at me - at anything or anyone else, but never at me.
Eve:
[walks to the door and opens it]
Get out!
Addison DeWitt:
You're too short for that gesture. Besides, it went out with Mrs. Fiske.
