Quotes 

• Marianne Lorress : Havana does look lovely.

  Pete Karczag : It's a way station. The last one. Then the United States.

  Marianne Lorress : Is it everything people dream about?

  Pete Karczag : I don't know. It is what many have dreamed. Others whose dreams have edges too round, colors too bright, they are disappointed.

  Marianne Lorress : Oh, I'm not looking for streets paved with gold. A home, respect, freedom. And neighbors who want the same thing.

  Pete Karczag : Marianne, don't hope for too much.

  Marianne Lorress : I'm just beginning to hope.

  Pete Karczag : Even if things go as you expect, I've been to the United States... a little thing like an accent, a foreign name, it will set you apart. There's always someone who laughs.

• Palinov : I try not to get sentimental. I run a business. The fee for my services is one thousand dollars, payable in advance.

  Marianne Lorress : I haven't the money.

  Palinov : As I say, I *try* not to get sentimental.

• Marianne Lorress : Nothing has changed. The same in Havana as it is in Paris or Vienna.

• Marianne Lorress : Only the police has the right to paw me.

• Cafe Proprietor : Señorita, my costume - take it off.

  Marianne Lorress : What? Here, right now, in the street?

• Pete Karczag : Uh, that little matter we quarreled about?

  Marianne Lorress : Oh? What was it? I seem to have forgotten.

  Pete Karczag : I believe it was your refusal to kiss me good night.

  Marianne Lorress : We could quarrel again.

• Marianne Lorress : You're no longer ashamed to be seen with me?

  Pete Karczag : Only in public.

• Marianne Lorress : I think it's only fair to warn you, Mr. Gombush, you're quite right. I am stubborn, and I do have a temper.

  Pete Karczag : Then I shall take care not to arouse it.

• Marianne Lorress : I came here this morning to thank you for your kindness.

  Pete Karczag : Any gentleman would have provided a room for a lady in distress.

• Marianne Lorress : I like to watch you.

• Pete Karczag : You better learn to do as you're told. In my family, the men give the commands, and if they are not obeyed...

  Marianne Lorress : What happens?

• Pete Karczag : A little kindness means a great deal to you.

  Marianne Lorress : Kindness has been a stranger to me for a long time.

• Pete Karczag : Havana can be lonely.

  Marianne Lorress : Surely you can find the company you want.

  Pete Karczag : I have.
