Donald Gresham:
[In the taxi, on the way to his apartment]
You won't mind coming up, will you?
Patty O'Neill:
I am not so sure. Will you try to seduce me?
Donald Gresham:
I, I don't know. Probably. why?
Patty O'Neill:
Why? A girl wants to know.
Donald Gresham:
A girl is supposed to be intuitive about those things. You don't go around bluntly asking questions like that.
Patty O'Neill:
I do. I always do.
Donald Gresham:
And what happens if they say yes, they are going to try to seduce you.
Patty O'Neill:
I generally believe them. And then I am out one dinner.
Donald Gresham:
And if they say their intentions are honorable?
Patty O'Neill:
I generally believe that. But you get fooled some times. I hate men like that. I mean, after all, they are lots of girls who don't mind being seduced. Why pick on those who do?
Donald Gresham:
OK, I won't make a single pass at you. Do you believe me?
Patty O'Neill:
Yes. Yes, I do. You're nice. I like you.
Donald Gresham:
I could be lying.
Patty O'Neill:
That's true. Are you?
Donald Gresham:
I don't know. I've never run up against anybody like you before.
Patty O'Neill:
How nice!
Donald Gresham:
But I won't take an oath that I am not going to kiss you.
Patty O'Neill:
Oh, that's alright. Kissing's fine. I have no objection to that.

Transcript:
Oh, I'm an unusual bachelor.
You won't mind
coming up, will you?
I'm not so sure.
Would you try
to seduce me?
I don't know.
Probably. Why?
"Why"?
A girl wants to know.
A girl's supposed to be, uh,
intuitive about those things.
You just don't go around
bluntly asking
questions like that.
I do.
I always do.
And what happens
if they say yes,
they're going to try
to seduce you?
I generally believe them,
and then I'm out one dinner.
And if they say
their intentions are honorable?
I generally believe them.
But you get fooled
sometimes.
I hate men like that.
I mean, after all,
there are lots of girls
who don't mind
being seduced.
Why pick on those who do?
Okay.
I won't make a
single pass at you.
You believe me?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
You're nice.
I like you.
I could be lying.
That's true.
Are you?
I don't know.
I've, uh, never run up against
anybody like you before.
How nice.
But I won't take an oath
that I'm not going to kiss you.
Oh, that's all right.
Kissing's fun.
I've no objection to that.
I'll be darned if I know whether
you're just incredibly naive
or wether you're ribbing
the pants off me.
Well, it's very simple.
Look, let's face it.
Going to a man's apartment
almost always ends
in one of two ways.
Either the girl
is willing to lose her virtue,
or she fights for it.
Well, I don't want to lose mine,
and I think it's vulgar
to fight for it,
so I always put my cards on the table.
Don't you think that's sensible?
Okay. Sold.
Affection but no passion.
Word of honor.
"Affection but no passion."
That's lovely.
You could run for
president on that.
You know,
you're really terribly sweet,
even if you are
a little bit nuts.
Patty O'Neill.
You must be very Irish.
Both my parents
were born in Brooklyn.
But pop's Irish
from way back.
When he gets
good and mad,
he can even talk
with a thick brogue.
Oh?
What does he do?
He's a cop.
Got change for $10?
Yeah.
Now, you're sure you
don't mind coming up?
Quite sure.
- No qualms?
- Not a qualm in the world.
