- Captain Ivan Orloff: Aw, Baroness, is there anything in the world more alluring as...
- Baroness Alma Corri: Yes?
- Captain Ivan Orloff: French waltz.
- Baroness Alma Corri: You don't care to dance, Captain. You know it. Being a calvary officer you probably don't even like women. Horses are such faithful animals.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: But, they can't dance.
- Baroness Alma Corri: No? You should see mine waltz me around in Sinaia Park some morning.
- General: What happened?
- Wife: We sneaked away from the tea and went to his apartment and...
- General: Adela, I merely asked you to make inquiries about Orloff's success with women, not for a personal demonstration on my own wife.
- Wife: He made me do something that no man has ever been able to make me do before.
- Wife: He actually made me tell him, well, all sorts of things. Things I wouldn't even tell my hairdresser. He's that way with all the women I know, darling.
- General: The situation in Romania is critical. Her neutrality is hanging in the balance. And she will go over to the enemy unless we can negotiate with her unmolested. All of our telegraphic and wireless communications with Romania are known immediately at enemy headquarters.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: But, surely you must have men better qualified than I?
- Colonel: Yes, plenty. Who can checkmate an entire regiment of men; but, cannot necessarily outwit - one woman.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: A woman?
- Colonel: We believe so.
- General: Your record with both - is inviable.
- Colonel: But, remember, many a great soldier has been defeated by - a woman.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: I'll go!
- Captain Ivan Orloff: I'll have to explain something. I'm looking for a woman.
- Gamble: You don't have to explain that to me, sir.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: But, I do! I might need your help. You see, one way I have of identifying this woman, is by her extreme curiosity.
- Gamble: You are looking for all the women in the world.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: Therefore, Gamble, I must be amiable to all the suspiciously curious women. You understand? Amiable.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: What else do you collect?
- Countess Diana Dorchy: Oh, anything interesting I can find.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: Have you any use for a young man, very tame around the house?
- Countess Diana Dorchy: Tame! Oh, I should say not.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: The most amazing things in the world are found in ladies' handbags.
- Countess Diana Dorchy: Oh, what a horrible libel.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: I have made an important discovery. The Baroness Corri does not use perfume.
- Gamble: No perfume, sir?
- Captain Ivan Orloff: I'm interested in knowing why and where if she has ever used it.
- Gamble: I'll nose around, sir.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: There is nothing so important as the thing that is not important.
- Ambassador: Naturally, when we are speaking about women.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: [sees the Countess walking her dog] You seem alarmingly businesslike. You can't be doing this for pleasure.
- Countess Diana Dorchy: [shakes her head no] For my hips.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: But, there is nothing the matter with your hips.
- Countess Diana Dorchy: There must be; because, there's nothing the matter with any of the rest of me.
- Madame Blinis: Good morning, Baroness. I didn't recognize you in riding clothes. So few women really wear them well.
- Countess Diana Dorchy: It had something to do with the sins of women.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: Charming. I'll listen.
- Countess Diana Dorchy: Well, relax. You see it was really a big bill for stockings and...
- Captain Ivan Orloff: And?
- Countess Diana Dorchy: And little pink, blue, white, black and...
- Captain Ivan Orloff: And?
- Countess Diana Dorchy: And dozens of unmentionables.
- Countess Diana Dorchy: Ivan, I have no business loving you.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: Why?
- Countess Diana Dorchy: Well, it means I shall be prying you away from other women, all the rest my life.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: Will you tell me some more about you and unmentionables?
- Countess Diana Dorchy: Oh, no, that's my cue to say something naughty and amusing.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: I knew you didn't come to punish me.
- Baroness Alma Corri: How could I waste the evening trying to punish you? When this is the first chance we've had to be alone.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: I hope I don't disappoint you.
- Baroness Alma Corri: Ivan, you do.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: The night is still young, my dear.
- Countess Diana Dorchy: You cheapen me in front of another woman, you excuse yourself with vague talk of duty, and then you expect me to trust you.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: I do.
- Colonel George Gorin: Cover Countess Dorchy at once. Don't let her get out of your sight. If she attempts to leave the city - proceed in the customary way.
- General: Also, let me warn you: from the moment we send the wireless, the enemy will regard you as a spy.
- Colonel: In a neutral country such as Romania there is no authority for arresting foreign spies. So they are frequently disposed of... "in the customary way".
- Captain Ivan Orloff: What is the message?
- General: There, uh, *is* no message.
- Captain Ivan Orloff: What shall I say to the French agent?
- General: There is no French agent.
- Colonel: You are the bait, Captain. When the shark is on the hook, we will pull the line.
