Some Like It Hot (1959) A: Jerry (Jack Lemmon) B: Osgood Fielding III (Joe E. Brown)
B: Oh, pardon me, Miss. May I? A: Help yourself. B: I'm Osgood Fielding III. A: I'm Cinderella II. B: If there's one thing I admire, it's a girl with a shapely ankle. A: Ha. Me, too. Bye-bye. B: Let me carry one of the instruments. A: Oh, thank you. Aren't you a sweetheart? [They enter the hotel.] B: It certainly is delightful having young blood around here. A: Well, personally, I'm Type O. B: You know, I've always been fascinated by show business. A: Is that so? B: As a matter of fact, it's cost my family quite a bit of money. A: Oh, you invest in shows? B: Showgirls. I've been married seven or eight times. A: You're not sure? B: Mama's keeping score. Frankly, she's getting rather annoyed with me. A: Wouldn't wonder. B: So this year, when The George White Scandals opened, she packed me off to Florida. Right now she thinks I'm out there on my yacht... deep-sea fishing. A: Well, pull in your reel, Mr. Fielding. You're barking up the wrong fish. B: If I promise not to be a naughty boy, how about dinner tonight? A: I'm sorry. I'll be on the bandstand. B: Oh, of course. Which of these instruments do you play? A: Bull fiddle. B: Oh! Fascinating. Do you use a bow or do you just pluck it? A: Most of the time, I slap it. [giggles] B: You must be quite a girl. A: Wanna bet? Ha ha ha ha! B: My last wife was an acrobatic dancer. You know, sort of a contortionist. She could smoke a cigarette while holding it between her toes. Zowie! But Mama broke it up. A: Why? B: She doesn't approve of girls who smoke. A: Bye-bye, Mr. Fielding. B: Bye-bye? A: This is where I get off. B: Oh, no. You don't get off that easy. [They get on the elevator.] B: [to the elevator boy] All right, driver, once around the park, slowly. And keep your eyes on the road.
