Douglas Fairbanks : Charles, you're a foreigner; you're still an outsider. You've never understood this country.
Charlie Chaplin : It's a good country underneath, Doug.
Douglas Fairbanks : No, it's a good country on *top*. Underneath, that's what starts showing when we're scared.

Douglas Fairbanks : Say, are you two still married or what? I find it all very confusing.
Charlie Chaplin : Mmm... it's not at all confusing. You see, when everyone thought we were having an affair, we were married. Now that everyone realizes we're married, we're getting divorced.
Douglas Fairbanks : Man's a wizard with women. No question about it.

Douglas Fairbanks : I haven't a care in the world! I'm the oldest action star in the business and talkies are coming. What the hell have I got to be worried about? That's talkies, Charles. Talkies! Talkies!
Charlie Chaplin : Can you imagine The Tramp talking?
Douglas Fairbanks : It's the future, Charlie.
Charlie Chaplin : Not in my lifetime.
Douglas Fairbanks : Talkies!

Douglas Fairbanks : A man came to see me the other day.
Charlie Chaplin : Oh? A corset salesman?
Douglas Fairbanks : I sent him. Your paunch is in need of help. He was the FBI, old darling. Said he knew what a loyal American I was. He wondered if everyone else felt the same way. I just sat there and let him work his way around to you, which he did. He asked were you a member of the Communist Party. I said that was an absolute impossibility.
Charlie Chaplin : Because I love America.
Douglas Fairbanks : Because you're too cheap to pay the dues.

Douglas Fairbanks : Remarkable. Your timing in work is flawless. In life, it's the reverse. You're a miserable pain in the ass, Charles. But I'm worried about you.
