Sabrina (1954 film) Quotes

Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina Fairchild

• (Audrey Hepburn) "I hate girls that giggle all the time."
• (John Williams) "You hate every girl David looks at."

• (Audrey Hepburn) "Once upon a time, on the north shore of Long Island, some thirty miles from New York, there lived a small girl on a large estate. The estate was very large indeed, and had many servants. There were gardeners to take care of the gardens, and a tree surgeon on a retainer. There was a boatman to take care of the boats: to put them in the water in the spring, and scrape their bottoms in the winter. There were specialists to take care of the grounds: the outdoor tennis court and the indoor tennis court, the outdoor swimming pool and the indoor swimming pool. And there was a man of no particular title who took care of the small pool in the garden for a goldfish named George. Also on the estate there was a chauffeur by the name of Fairchild who had been imported from England years ago together with a new Rolls-Royce. Fairchild was a fine chauffeur of considerable polish, like the eight cars in his care, and he had a daughter by the name of Sabrina. It was the eve of the annual six-meter yacht races, and as had been traditional on Long Island for the past thirty years, the Larrabees were giving a party. It never rained on the night of the Larrabee party. The Larrabees wouldn't have stood for it. There were four Larrabees in all; father, mother, and two sons. Maude and Oliver Larrabee were married in nineteen hundred and six, and among their many wedding presents was the town house in New York and this estate for weekends. The town house has since been converted into Saks Fifth Avenue. Linus Larrabee, the elder son, graduated from Yale, where his classmates voted him The Man Most Likely To Leave His Alma Mater Fifty Million Dollars. His brother, David, went through several of the best eastern colleges for short periods of time, and through several marriages for even shorter periods of time. He is now a successful six-goal polo player and is listed on Linus's tax return as a six hundred dollar deduction. Life was pleasant among the Larrabees, for this was as close to heaven as one could get on Long Island."

• (Audrey Hepburn) "Maybe you should go to Paris, Linus."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "To Paris?"
• (Audrey Hepburn) "It helped me a lot. Have you ever been there?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Oh, yes. Yes. Once. I was there for thirty-five minutes."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "Thirty-five MINUTES?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Changing planes. I was on my way to Iraq on an oil deal."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "Oh, but Paris isn't for changing planes, it's -- it's for changing your outlook, for -- for throwing open the windows and letting in -- letting in la vie en rose."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Paris is for lovers. Maybe that's why I stayed only thirty-five minutes."

• (Audrey Hepburn) "I might as well be reaching for the moon."
• (Marcel Dalio) "The moon?"
• (Marcel Dalio) "Oh, you young people. You are so old-fashioned. Have you not heard? We are building rockets to reach the moon."

• (Audrey Hepburn) "Just imagine, you press a button and factories go up, or you pick up a telephone and a hundred tankers set out for Persia, or you switch on the dictaphone and say, "Buy all of Cleveland and move it to Pittsburgh.""

• (Audrey Hepburn) "I have learned how to live, how to be IN the world and OF the world, and not just to stand aside and watch. And I will never, never again run away from life. Or from love, either."

William Holden as David Larrabee

• (William Holden) "I could have sworn I knew every pretty girl on the North Shore."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "I could have sworn you took in more territory than that."

• (William Holden) "You don't live here."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "Yes, I do."
• (William Holden) "I live here."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "Hi, neighbor."

• (William Holden) "I've been trying to write a poem to her but I -- I can't seem to finish it. What rhymes with "glass"?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Glass -- Glass -- Uh --"
• (Humphrey Bogart) ""Alas"."

• (William Holden) "I feel so stupid I could kill myself."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "You'll be all right in a minute."

• (William Holden) "Morning, Linus. Where're you off to?"

• (William Holden) "What's so constructive about marrying Elizabeth Tyson?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Taste it."
• (William Holden) "It's sweet."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "That's right. It's made of sugar cane."
• (William Holden) "Sugar cane. Wait a minute. This wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the Tysons own the largest holdings of sugar cane in Puerto Rico, would it?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Second largest. The largest have no daughter."
• (William Holden) "It's all beginning to make sense. Mr. Tyson owns the sugarcane, you own the formula for the plastics, and I'm supposed to be offered up as a human sacrifice on the altar of the industrial progress. Is that it?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "You make it sound so vulgar, David, as if the son of the hot dog dynasty were being offered in marriage to the daughter of the mustard king. Surely -- surely you don't object to Elizabeth Tyson just because her father happens to have twenty million dollars? That's very narrow-minded of you, David."
• (William Holden) "Just one thing you overlooked. I haven't proposed, and she hasn't accepted."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Oh, don't worry. I proposed and Mr. Tyson accepted."
• (William Holden) "Did you kiss him?"

• (William Holden) "I thought you two had eloped. I wouldn't mind, but not in my car."

• (Audrey Hepburn) "Why?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Because."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "Don't you like it?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "I used to like it."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "I'd rather not talk about it."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "I'm sorry."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "That's all right."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "It's so strange to think of you being touched by a woman. I always thought you walked alone."

Our building is located at 30 Broad Street, New York City. Your office is on the 22nd floor. Our normal week is Monday through Friday. Our working day is 9:00 to 5:00.

John Williams as Thomas Fairchild

• (John Williams) "Yes, sir."

• (John Williams) "It's good you're going away. I only hope it's far enough."

• (John Williams) "It wouldn't have worked out really, darling. The papers and everybody else would've said how fine and democratic for a Larrabee to marry a chauffeur's daughter, but would they praise the chauffeur's daughter? No. Democracy can be a wickedly unfair thing, Sabrina. Nobody poor was ever called democratic for marrying somebody rich."

• (John Williams) "May I ask, sir, what exactly are your intentions?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "My intentions? Unethical, reprehensible but very practical."
• (John Williams) "I beg your pardon?"

Marcel Dalio as Baron St. Fontanel

• (Marcel Dalio) "A woman happily in love, she burns the soufflé. A woman unhappily in love, she forgets to turn on the oven."

Walter Hampden as Oliver Larrabee

• (Humphrey Bogart) "How would you do it? You can't even get a little olive out of a jar."

• (Walter Hampden) "Now, I'm not saying that all Larrabees have been saints. There was a Thomas Larrabee who was hung for piracy, and there was a Benjamin Larrabee who was a slave trader, and there was my great-great uncle, Joshua Larrabee, who was shot in Indiana while attempting to rob a train, but there NEVER was a Larrabee who behaved as David Larrabee has behaved here tonight."

• (Walter Hampden) "All columnists should be beaten to a pulp and converted back into paper."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "What would you suggest -- Ethel?"

Marcel Hillaire as The Professor

• (Marcel Hillaire) "Much too low."
• (Audrey Hepburn) "I don't know what happened."
