Yasmin Azir
- David Pollock: I'll meet you in Knightsbridge at the Kelly Hotel. I'm registered there under the name of O'Malley.
- Yasmin Azir: [confused] 'O'Malley'?
- David Pollock: Yeah, there's a discount if you're Irish.
- Yasmin Azir: [At the races, both dressed up posh] Well, if it isn't Mr. Dillingham.
- David Pollock: By Jove, it's actually Lady Hetherington-Cartwright.
- Yasmin Azir: Don't overdo it.
- David Pollock: I didn't know you could.
- Webster: That cipher, *where is it*?
- David Pollock: Ask me later alligator.
- Webster: *Where is it*?
- David Pollock: I left it at Beshraavi's. After all, it belongs to him.
- Yussef Kasim: Wrong again teach. He snatched it. Belongs to this cat right here. Now where is it?
- David Pollock: Miss Azir, after all we've been through together couldn't you find it in your heart to put in a small word on my behalf?
- Yasmin Azir: He told me he had it in his pocket.
- David Pollock: [shaking head] Tattle tale.
- Yasmin Azir: You've got to listen to me!
- David Pollock: Boy, every time I try to listen to you someone either hits me over the head or tries to vaccinate me.
- Beshraavi: Those slippers are absolutely beautiful, my darling. Are you wearing them for my benefit?
- Yasmin Azir: Of course, Nejim. Mr. Pollock does not have your exotic refinements. He prefers nighties.
- David Pollock: She said it, I didn't.
- Beshraavi: Mr. Pollock, some Bedouins are in the habit of saying to their guests, "All that I possess is yours"... I am not one of them.
- Beshraavi: Extraordinary sensation. Perhaps it was the way he looked at you?
- Yasmin Azir: Who?
- Beshraavi: Pollock!
- Yasmin Azir: Darling, if you start getting jealous over everyone who looks at me, it will do terrible things to your blood pressure. I don't think you have to worry about college professors.
- Beshraavi: Why not?
- Yasmin Azir: They're only interested in work.
- Beshraavi: They're the most dangerous kind, my love. They're such expert peekers.
- Yasmin Azir: Don't worry. If I were standing stark naked in front of Mr. Pollock, he'd probably yawn.
- Yasmin Azir: Are you burning it?
- David Pollock: That's how you detect invisible ink. Weren't you ever in the Boy Scouts?
- Yasmin Azir: I flunked - the physical.
- David Pollock: Should have tried my troop, we'd have waived it.
- David Pollock: Those stairs must lead somewhere.
- Yasmin Azir: Are you sure?
- David Pollock: If they don't, watch out for the last one!
- David Pollock: This isn't your house. This is my house, and you weren't invited, so go away!
- Yasmin Azir: I didn't even know if you were alive, but I came to warn you anyway.
- David Pollock: Warn me about what?
- Yasmin Azir: Nazim's men. They are on their way here to get the cipher back. You've got to get away.
- David Pollock: Now slow down a minute. Aren't you the same Miss Azir who just stood there while your friends tried to kill me?
- Yasmin Azir: Oh David! You don't think I enjoyed that?
- David Pollock: Oh! Well! So long as you didn't enjoy it!
- Yasmin Azir: Webster sold out to Nazim.
- David Pollock: It must be a popular indoor sport these days.
- Yasmin Azir: You're not including me I hope!
- David Pollock: Of course not. We're believing you today.
- Yasmin Azir: [At a construction site - after they've both lied about where they were going] David, you followed me, didn't you?
- David Pollock: No, I didn't! You went to the embassy, and I came here to my hotel.
- Beshraavi: Before you came home, I received word that... Mr. Pollock had arrived safely in his rooms at Oxford.
- Yasmin Azir: A hearty race, the Americans.
- Beshraavi: I was also told that he was riding a bicycle... and singing a very strange song.
- Yasmin Azir: A hearty and fun-loving race.
- Yasmin Azir: [Meeting Pollock for the first time] Hello.
- David Pollock: Hello. Hello! Hello-hello-hello.
- Yasmin Azir: What are you doing?
- David Pollock: Oh, well, these English crosswords are devilish, don't you think?
- Yasmin Azir: You're an American?
- David Pollock: Yes sir, indeedy-do, Ma'am.
- Yasmin Azir: Yussef is not my boyfriend. I loathe him.
- David Pollock: Of course you do. You just do what he tells you because he's holding your family hostage back in the old country.
- Yasmin Azir: How did you know that?
- David Pollock: Oh, come on. I've seen that movie.
- Yasmin Azir: General Ali Ben Ali, the man he works for, threatened to kill my mother and sisters unless I cooperated with him.
- David Pollock: And Beshraavi, who's he got, your Uncle Max from Newark?
- Yasmin Azir: What do you mean?
- David Pollock: Forget it. If you want to live with Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, that's your business.
- David Pollock: I don't met many people who are dressed like that, either.
- Yasmin Azir: Do you like it? Would you do me up please? Can you - manage?
- David Pollock: I always tremble when I'm happy. I take it that you're a house guest here?
- Yasmin Azir: Why do you take that?
- David Pollock: Well, one usually doesn't arrive for high tea dressed in a nightie.
- Yasmin Azir: One also isn't a house guest in one's own house.
- Beshraavi: People who lock doors generally have things to hide.
- Yasmin Azir: Would you care to search me?
- Beshraavi: Will I find your thoughts?
- Yasmin Azir: Why don't you tell them where the cipher is?
- David Pollock: Well, because I don't know where it is.
- Yasmin Azir: You told me you had it.
- David Pollock: You told me lots of things too. Looks like we're just a pair of pathological liars.
- Yasmin Azir: Professor, what did you do with the cipher?
- David Pollock: Cipher, cipher, who's got the cipher? Number nine's got the cipher.
- Webster: Nine? What's that mean?
- David Pollock: That's for me to know and you to guess.
- Yasmin Azir: How come my recurring dream never ended this way?
- David Pollock: I don't know? Mine always did. I guess I just travel in better dreams.
- David Pollock: Now, then, Miss Azir, I wonder if you'd tell me what this is all about.
- Yasmin Azir: Call me Yasmin, at least while you're in my bathroom.
