Yes? Mr. Benson? You are, I assume, the young lady from the typing bureau? I am. In that...

Quote
Richard:
[knock on door]
Yes?
Gabrielle:
Mr. Benson?
Richard:
You are, I assume, the young lady from the typing bureau?
Gabrielle:
I am.
Richard:
In that case, if we are to have a happy and harmonious relationship, I beg of you, never answer a question with a question. Is that clear?
Gabrielle:
Did I?
Richard:
There you go again, answering a question with a question. My original yes when you opened the door was a question, question mark implied of course. You do know the difference between implied and inferred?
Gabrielle:
Isn't that a question?
Richard:
[pauses]
Yes.
Gabrielle:
Well, you just answered my question with a question. To imply is to indicate without saying openly or directly, to infer is to conclude from something known or assumed.
