Quotes 

• [as collateral, Diane hands over a book she bought for $500 of Sam's money] 

  Sam Malone : [incredulously]  God, it really is a book.

  Diane Chambers : It's a book, and a very valuable book. It's a first edition Hemingway.

  Sam Malone : [looks at the cover]  'The Sun Also Rises'. Boy, that's real profound.

  Diane Chambers : I purchased it for five hundred dollars, but I'm sure it's worth a great deal more. It's signed by Ernest Hemingway himself.

  Sam Malone : For five hundred bucks, you'd think Margaux Hemingway'd come over to your house and act it out for you.

• Diane Chambers : [after Sam loans her $500]  Even so, it was hard to come in here and ask for this given our past physical relationship.

  Sam Malone : Yeah, kind of feels like you should be giving me the money, doesn't it.

• Diane Chambers : What's taking you so long?

  Sam Malone : Well, ah, I was just thinking...

  Diane Chambers : Say no more.

• Sam Malone : [about the $500 he leant Diane]  What did she spend it on?

  Carla Tortelli : A book.

  Sam Malone : A book.

  Carla Tortelli : A book.

  Sam Malone : One book?

  Carla Tortelli : One single, five hundred dollar book. And it's already been a movie.

• Diane Chambers : Sam, go get it from the safe.

  Sam Malone : Yeah, see, all right, this may take a minute. Ah, the safe's... the combination's kind of complex.

  Diane Chambers : Don't you remember? It's your birthday.

  Sam Malone : It is?! Hell, I should be out there celebrating.
