• Kathie : If it gets too lonely, there's a little cantina down the street called Pablo's. It's nice and quiet. The man there plays American music for a dollar. Sip bourbon and shut your eyes... it's like a little place on 56th Street.

  Jeff : You're a cute little package to be out walking alone at night.

  Kathie : You're kinda cute yourself.

• Kathie : I've never stopped loving you. I was afraid and no good, but, I've never stopped. Even if you'd hated me - did you?

  Jeff : Yes.

• Kathie : I never told you I was anything but what I am. You just wanted to imagine I was. That's why I left you.

• Kathie : We're starting all over. I want to go back to Mexico. I want to walk out of the sun again and find you waiting. I want to sit in the same moonlight and tell you all things I never told you - until you don't hate me, until sometime you love again.

• Kathie : If you'e thinking of anyone else, don't. It wouldn't work. You're no good for anyone but me. You're no good and neither am I. That's why we deserve each other.

  Jeff : I doubt you'll ever let me.

• Jeff : Remember La Mar Azul?

  Kathie : I remember you were a very clumsy flirt - but I like that.

• Jeff : Love me?

  Jeff : What's that?

  Kathie : Little.

  Jeff : Mucho.
