Some Like It Hot (1959) A: Osgood Fielding III (Joe E. Brown) B: Jerry/Daphne (Jack Lemmon)
A: I called Mama. She was so happy she cried. She wants you to have her wedding gown. It's white lace. B: Osgood, I can't get married in your mother's dress. She and I-- we are not built the same way. A: We can have it altered. B: Oh, no, you don't! Osgood, I'm gonna level with you. We can't get married at all. A: Why not? B: Well, in the first place, I'm not a natural blonde. A: Doesn't matter. B: I smoke. I smoke all the time. A: I don't care. B: I have a terrible past. For three years now, I've been living with a saxophone player. A: I forgive you. B: I can never have children. A: We can adopt some. B: Well, you don't understand, Osgood! Oh!!! [Jerry removes the wig.] B: I'm a man! A: [without skipping a beat] Well, nobody's perfect.
