"Don't you realize I'm in love with you?"
"No you're not"
"Yes, I am! I can't wait to get back to Paris to buy all the jewels and Cartiers. To take you to the motor salons - where you can pick out any car that you like. I want to give you a house in Paris and another in New York. There isn't anything in the world I wouldn't give you"
"That isn't love"
