Quotes
-
Marisa Ventura : Can you keep a secret?
Caroline Lane : Yes, of course.
Marisa Ventura : Good. So can I.
-
Caroline Lane : What do you think? Dolce coat, Gucci pants or Ralph Lauren skirt, Manolo pumps?
Rachel Hoffberg : Ooh, they're both divine! Let's see. How about the pants, open sandals, see-through blouse, colored-bra and I'd carry the Dolce coat for effect.
Caroline Lane : Maria?
Rachel Hoffberg : She barely speaks English.
[Marisa mutters something in Spanish under her breath]
Rachel Hoffberg : What?
Marisa Ventura : Excuse me?
Caroline Lane : Maria, what do you think?
Marisa Ventura : What about the beaded skirt with that beige crocheted halter you have hanging in the closet? You know, casual sexy. No stockings. Definitely eighty six the coat. It sends the wrong message. Looks like you're going someplace.
[looking at Rachel who is wearing a see-through blouse and colored-bra]
Marisa Ventura : Besides, that whole see-through blouse, colored-bra thing... reads a little, you know, desperate, older gal, trying too hard. Don't you think? Yeah, you want to make him work for it.
Rachel Hoffberg : Who does she think she is, to talk to me like that?
Caroline Lane : Thank you, Maria. I have two words for you Rachel Hoffberg: Eric who?
Marisa Ventura : [accidentally deliberately whips Rachel with the bedspread] Excuse me. Sorry.

Caroline Lane : Oh, Chris, I'm terribly sorry to interrupt your busy morning, but we thought you should know what was going on as soon as possible.
Christopher Marshall : What is going on?
Caroline Lane : The woman you thought was a guest on this floor is the maid on this floor. Aren't you, Marisa?
Christopher Marshall : No. Wait, her name is Caroline.
Caroline Lane : No, Chris, darling, that's my name. She steals clothes, identities...
Christopher Marshall : What the hell's happening here? Why are you dressed that way? Caroline?
[looks at her maid attire]
Christopher Marshall : Is this true?
[pause]
Marisa Ventura : Yeah, it is.
Jerry Siegel : Jesus Christ! The press is gonna have a field day with this one.
John Bextrum : There's no reason to involve the press.
Jerry Siegel : How are you going to prevent her from speaking?
Caroline Lane : This would never happen at the Four Seasons.
John Bextrum : And I can assure you it has never happened here before either. Lionel, you are slipping. You should have noticed something. I am disappointed.
Marisa Ventura : Please, Mr. Bextrum, he had nothing to do with this.
Lionel Bloch : Of course, sir. I understand.
John Bextrum : We'll talk about this later. Miss Ventura, you no longer work here. Please go to security, hand in your passes and your ID, and you'll be escorted from the building.
Marisa Ventura : Yes, sir.
Christopher Marshall : Is that really necessary?
Jerry Siegel : Chris, let the man do his job, okay?
-
Caroline Lane : [to Marisa] You are so good. Thank God! You should be a personal assistant.
Rachel Hoffberg : She's a maid.
Caroline Lane : So are they, with better titles.
-
Caroline Lane : [to Marisa] Oh, that needs pressing.
-
Christopher Marshall : She's about five-six, dark hair, really beautiful, has a kid named Ty. What the hell happened?
Lionel Bloch : I'm sorry, Sir.
Christopher Marshall : Don't be sorry. Just find her.
Caroline Lane : Oh, Chris, I loved your quote in "The Times".
Christopher Marshall : Please!
-
Caroline Lane : Oh, Chris. Oh, Chris. I can't help but feel that this is partly my fault.
Christopher Marshall : It isn't. Spare yourself.
Caroline Lane : At least, let me buy you lunch. After all, we've only got each other to get through this humiliation.
Christopher Marshall : Caroline, the first lunch was a mistake. A second would be complete torture.
Caroline Lane : Drinks, then?
-
Caroline Lane : A Harry Winston wreath?
Marisa Ventura : Morning.
Rachel Hoffberg : Isn't that that maid?
-
Caroline Lane : I mean, where would a maid get that necklace? I thought maybe...
John Bextrum : I'll fast-forward through this, and you just point her out if you see her.
[Bextrum fast-forwards video]
Caroline Lane : Oh, wait, could you just go back on that bit?
[Bextrum rewinds video]
Caroline Lane : I mean, it could be her. Let's just - Can we just go forward?
[Bextrum fast-forwards video once more until the video shows Marisa and Ty waiting at the elevator wearing the coat]
Caroline Lane : [deeply shocked] Wait! That's my Dolce coat!
John Bextrum : How could you have missed this?
Keef Townsend : I'm sorry, sir.
-
John Bextrum : Lionel. Marisa.
Caroline Lane : Oh. Well, that's interesting. She told me her name was Maria.
Marisa Ventura : I thought it would be impolite to correct you.
Caroline Lane : And I suppose you think it's polite to steal people's clothes?
Marisa Ventura : I didn't steal...
Paula Burns : [door knocks and Lionel answers] Miss Ventura, Mr. Bextrum has spent the last 30 minutes trying to persuade Miss Lane not to press formal charges. I suggest you say as little as possible.
Caroline Lane : We have it all on video.
John Bextrum : Was everything returned?
Marisa Ventura : Yes, sir.
