Some Like It Hot (1959) A: Jerry (Jack Lemmon) B: Joe (Tony Curtis)
A: I'm engaged. B: Congratulations! Who's the lucky girl? A: I am. [hums the tango] B: What? A: Osgood proposed to me. We're planning a June wedding. [hums the tango] B: What are you talking about? You can't marry Osgood. A: You think he's too old for me? B: Jerry, you can't be serious! A: Why not? He keeps marrying girls all the time! [hums the tango] B: But-- but, you're not a girl, you're a guy! And why would a guy want to marry a guy? A: Security. [hums the tango] B: Jerry, you better lie down. You're not well. A: Will you stop treating me like a child? I'm not stupid. I know there's a problem. B: I'll say there is. A: His mother. We need her approval. But I'm not worried because I don't smoke. [hums the tango] B: Jerry, there's another problem. A: Like what? B: Like what are you gonna do on your honeymoon? A: We've been discussing that. He wants to go to the Riviera, but I kinda lean towards Niagara Falls. [hums the tango] B: Jerry, you're out of your mind. How are you gonna get away with this? A: I don't expect it to last, Joe! I'll tell him the truth when the time comes. B: Like when? A: Like right after the ceremony. B: Oh. A: Then, we get a quick annulment, he makes a nice settlement on me, and I keep getting those alimony checks every month. [hums the tango] B: Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, listen to me. Listen to me. There are laws, conventions. It's just not being done. A: Shh! Joe, this may be my last chance to marry a millionaire.
