Charlie Chaplin:
[noticing a pretty girl at the opposite side of a restaurant aisle]
Excuse me Miss, do you always eat alone? Edna Purviance:
Only when I'm trying to make a new acquaintance. Actually I'm waiting for my girlfriend. Charlie Chaplin:
Actually I'm a motion picture director, and I'm forming a new company with Bronco Billy over there. Edna Purviance:
And you're looking for a new leading lady. Lucky me. Charlie Chaplin:
Obviously you are an actress, Miss... Edna Purviance:
Purviance. Sorry, just a secretary. Charlie Chaplin:
Don't be sorry. I'm auditioning for actresses who aren't actresses. Edna Purviance:
Well, if you're on the lookout for untalented actresses who aren't actresses, then you couldn't do better than me. [correcting] Edna Purviance:
Worse than me. Charlie Chaplin:
[getting up after being called over by Sydney]
Don't you want to know who I am? Edna Purviance:
I've no interest whatsoever in who you are [pauses, Chaplin starts moving away] Edna Purviance:
Mr. Chaplin
