The Apartment (1960)
A:      C. C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon)
B:      Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine)

[Miss Kubelik knocks frantically, fearing that the loud bang she has just heard is from a self-inflicted gunshot.]
B:       Mr. Baxter!  Mr. Baxter!  Mr. Baxter!
[The door opens and there's Baxter with a just-opened bottle of champagne.] 
B:       Oh.  Are you all right?
A:       I'm fine.
B:       Are you sure?  How's your knee? 
A:       I'm fine all over. 
B:       [sighs with relief] Mind if I come in?
[Miss Kubelik comes in and of course understands the packing going on.]       
A:       Let me get another glass. 
[Baxter unpacks a wine glass from a box.] 
B:       Where are you going?
A:       Who knows?  Another neighborhood, another town, another job.  I'm on my own.
B:       That's funny.  So am I.  What did you do with the cards?
A:       In there. 
[Baxter indicates another box.  Miss Kubelik takes the deck of playing cards.  She sits on the couch and proceeds to shuffle the cards.  Baxter sits and pours out the champagne.]
A:       What about Mr. Sheldrake? 
B:       We'll send him a fruitcake every Christmas.  Cut.
A:       I love you, Miss Kubelik.
B:       Three.  Queen.
A:       Did you hear what I said, Miss Kubelik?  I absolutely adore you. 
B:       Shut up and deal.

The shaggy coat that Shirley MacLaine wore in the movie is Billy Wilder's wife Audrey's own coat.
