Paul: Do you mind, if I do?
Irene: No!
Paul: Oh! I'm sorry. The clasp is bent.
Paul: There!
Irene: But, why?
Paul: Don't you want them?
Irene: But, you're a thief!
Paul: I beg your pardon!
Irene: Oh, I'm so sorry…
Paul: I was in the room next door. I was putting a friend of mine to bed who had a little too much to drink. I couldn't help but become very much interested in that unusual little scene you were playing.
Irene: Oooh!
Paul: The reason I kidnapped you was to return your jewels.
Irene: Oh! But why did you take them?
Paul: If I didn't make believe I was a thief, my presence would have compromised you, I think, as much as your chauffeur's.
Irene: Oh! I'm awfully sorry!
Paul: I forgive you.
Irene: Where are you taking me?
Paul: I would think you'd like to do a little thinking before you go back. We are just riding around.
Irene: Oh! All I seem to say is oh! Yes, I must think. Did you say something about a cigarette?
Irene: Thank you! Yes, I must think.
Paul: Have you thought?
Irene: Yes, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere…
Paul: Maybe, a little drink would help!
Irene: Where?
Paul: Leave it to me! I know the best champagne in Paris.
Irene: Tonight, I don't care if it's the worst.
Paul: Driver! To the Château Bleu!
