- The Psychiatrist: I want you to talk about women.
- [waits for a few moments]
- The Psychiatrist: Mr. Crown?
- Thomas Crown: I'm sorry?
- The Psychiatrist: Women. You get to talk about women.
- Thomas Crown: Oh, I enjoy women.
- The Psychiatrist: Enjoyment isn't intimacy.
- Thomas Crown: And intimacy isn't necessarily enjoyment.
- The Psychiatrist: How would you know? Has it occurred to you that you have a problem with trust?
- Thomas Crown: [smirking] I trust myself implicitly.
- The Psychiatrist: But can other people trust you?
- Thomas Crown: Oh, you mean society at large?
- The Psychiatrist: I mean women, Mr. Crown.
- Thomas Crown: Yes, a woman could trust me.
- The Psychiatrist: Good. Under what extraordinary circumstances would you allow that to happen?
- Thomas Crown: A woman could trust me as long as her interests didn't run too contrary to my own.
- The Psychiatrist: And society? If ITS interests should run counter to your own?
- [Crown smiles]
- Detective Michael McCann: Can I drop you someplace? At your hotel?
- Catherine Banning: One, I keep an apartment here, and two, I am going to your office.
- Detective Michael McCann: [pause] She keeps an apartment. I keep goldfish.
- [Banning shows up at a ball wearing a red sash]
- Thomas Crown: This is a black and white ball.
- Catherine Banning: That's okay, I wasn't invited anyway.
- [Catherine looks out the plane window at a tropical island]
- Catherine Banning: That island isn't Manhattan.
- Thomas Crown: It's not?
- Catherine Banning: I have appointments.
- Thomas Crown: Wanna keep 'em?
- [at Crown's tropical resort]
- Catherine Banning: Oh! This must go over!
- Thomas Crown: With whom?
- Catherine Banning: Whoever you bring here.
- Thomas Crown: I never bring anyone here.
- Catherine Banning: What was it?
- Thomas Crown: Nice little Renoir...
- Catherine Banning: Oh... Renoir
- [beat]
- Catherine Banning: Nice little copy?
- Thomas Crown: We'll never know will we?
- John Reynolds: Tommy, that's a hundred thousand dollars on a goddam golf swing!
- Thomas Crown: It's a beautiful Saturday morning, John... What the hell else have we got to do?
- Catherine Banning: This is an elegant crime, done by an elegant person. It's not about the money.
- Detective Michael McCann: So, who steals a Monet, just to not sell it?
- Catherine Banning: A Monet lover.
- [Looks at a computer on a desk]
- Catherine Banning: Whose desk is that?
- Detective Paretti: Er...
- Catherine Banning: Can I use it?
- Detective Paretti: Sure.
- Catherine Banning: OK, let's dig up all the major art auctions of the last five years, and see who's been bidding on Monets.
- Catherine Banning: [Holds up a sheet of paper with details of auctions] See anyone we know?
- Detective Michael McCann: [Looks at list. Sees Thomas Crown listed as a bidder on a Monet] Him? A big day for this guy is takin' off his tie! He's a finance geek?
- Catherine Banning: Is he?
- [Catherine is clearly upset]
- Detective Michael McCann: Are you okay?
- Catherine Banning: Yeah.
- Detective Michael McCann: You know I was okay once. My girlfriend went out one night and came back... married. I told everyone that I didn't care, and then I fucked five women in three days, flipped my car on an on-ramp, beat a suspect unconscious, got suspended... but I was "okay."
- Catherine Banning: I would let you in, but...
- Thomas Crown: But the world is watching.
- Catherine Banning: Yes.
- Thomas Crown: Besides, you haven't got any furniture.
- Catherine Banning: Oh that's good.
- Detective Michael McCann: [about Thomas Crown] Do you realize what kind of flesh-eating lawyers this guy is going to have?
- Detective Michael McCann: So I'm stuck with you on my back.
- Catherine Banning: Oh, come on Lieutenant. Who knows, you might enjoy it.
- Detective Michael McCann: Give.
- [pause]
- Detective Michael McCann: You know what? Life is full of shitty conflicts, okay? Give!
