Some Like It Hot (1959) A: Joe (Tony Curtis) B: Jerry (Jack Lemmon) C: Nellie (Barbara Drew) D: Osgood Fielding III (Joe E. Brown) E: Sugar Kane Kowalczyk (Marilyn Monroe)
[At the Sig Poliakoff's agency] A: Anything today? C: Oh, it's you. Well, you've got a lot of nerve. A: Thank you. C: Joe, come back here! A: Uh-huh. Now, Nellie, baby, if it's about Saturday night, I can explain everything. C: What a heel. I spend $4 to get my hair marcelled, I buy a brand-new negligee, I bake him a great big pizza pie, and where were you? B: Where were you? A: With you. B: Me? A: Don't you remember? You had this bad tooth. It was all impacted and his jaw was all swoll out. B: It was? [pretending along] Oh, yeah. Ohh! Oh, I... A: I had to take him to the hospital and give him a blood transfusion, right? B: Right. We have the same blood type. A: Type O. C: Oh? [Then Nellie plays a trick on them by sending them to Poliakoff's office to apply for the girls' band.]
[Just barely escaping Spats' bullets at the garage] B: I think they got me. I think they got me. A: The got the bull fiddle. B: No blood? A: If they catch us, there'll be blood all over-- Type O.
[Part of the first meeting between Osgood and Daphne] D: Oh, pardon me, Miss. May I? B: Help yourself. D: I'm Osgood Fielding III. B: I'm Cinderella II. D: If there's one thing I admire, it's a girl with a shapely ankle. B: Ha. Me, too. Bye-bye. D: Let me carry one of the instruments. B: Oh, thank you. Aren't you a sweetheart? D: It certainly is delightful having young blood around here. B: Well, personally, I'm Type O.
[Joe tells Sugar the sob story of why he's numb to women's advances.] A: Well, it was my freshman year at Princeton. There was this girl. Her name was Nellie. Her father was the vice president of Hupmobile. She wore glasses, too. That summer, we spent our vacation at the Grand Canyon. We were standing on the highest ledge watching the sunset, when, suddenly, we got this impulse to kiss. I took off my glasses. She took off her glasses. I took a step toward her. She took a step toward me. E: Oh, no! A: Yes. Eight hours later, they brought her up by mule. I gave her three transfusions. We had the same type blood- Type O-- but it was to late. E: Talk about sad! A: Ever since then... numb, no feelings, like my heart was shot full of novocaine.
