Quotes 

• Louise : [to the hotel clerk]  Which one is Mr. Thompson. Is that the one who...

  Geoffrey Thompson : Six feet, two inches tall. Twenty-eight years of age and has blue eyes. Plays the piano with one finger. Is part owner of an Irish sweepstake ticket. Doesn't like whipped cream, paper napkins, or people who kick the back of your seat in picture theaters. Is very bashful. Doesn't like brunettes. And is just as curious about you as you are about him.

  Louise : Hello.

  Geoffrey Thompson : How do you do?

• Geoffrey Thompson : It's big and dull. Dull and very big. Skyscrapers everywhere and hamburgers and hot dogs and chewing gum and mass production and everywhere you go you see Americans. Americans everywhere. Must you go to America?

  Louise : The farther away from brown shirts, purple shirts, pink shirts, green shirts - the happier father will be.

  Geoffrey Thompson : Yes, why you would just as safe in England.

  Ken Morgan : Yes, well, you forget we have the Statue of Liberty. America: sanctuary of democracy. A haven for Europe's greatest minds: Toscanini, Einstein, Thomas Mann - and Dr. Hugo Norden.
