Ace in the Hole (1951)
A:      Charles Tatum (Kirk Douglas)
B:      Lorraine Minosa (Jan Sterling) 

A:      Look, Mrs. Minosa, they're having a rosary at that little church this evening.  I want you to be there.  
B:      I don't go to church.  Kneeling bags my nylons.
A:      You're makin' enough dough to buy yourself another pair.  I want you to be there because I'm sending Herbie down to get a couple of shots.  Understand?
B:      Okay.  But only because you wrote me up so pretty in today's paper.  You sure can make with the words.  "A figure of fair-haired loveliness... in the lengthening shadow of the cursed mountain"--
A:      Unquote. [chuckles] Tomorrow this'll be yesterday's paper, and they'll wrap a fish in it.
B:      And another thing, mister.  Don't ever slap me again.

This line comes from Audrey, the wife of Billy Wilder.
