- Alfie: What have I got? Really? Some money in my pocket. Some nice threads, fancy car at my disposal, and I'm single. Yeah... unattached, free as a bird... I don't depend on nobody. Nobody depends on me. My life's my own. But I don't have peace of mind. And if you don't have that, you've got nothing. So... So what's the answer? That's what I keep asking myself. What's it all about? You know what I mean?
- [from trailer]
- Alfie: Whenever you meet a beautiful woman, just remember somewhere there's a man who's sick of shagging her.
- Alfie: It seems to me the problems you worry yourself sick about never seem to materialize. It's the ones that catch you unexpectedly on a Wednesday afternoon that knock you sideways.
- Alfie: Strange. But even when you know it has to end, when it finally does, you always get that inevitable twinge: Have i done the right thing?
- Joe: There are two things I've learned in life: find someone to love and live everyday as if it were your last.
- Alfie: In every doomed relationship, there comes what I like to call "The uh-oh moment". When a certain little something happens, and you know you've just witnessed the beginning of the end. And suddenly you stop and you think, "Uh-oh, iceberg ahead".
- Alfie: Personally, I've always suspected that everyone else is having a far merrier Christmas than I am.
- Alfie: [to the viewer] Couples should never split up between Thanksgiving and January 2nd. Always have a relationship to see you through the holidays. Always.
- Alfie: [to Marlon, about Lonette] You were at her front door, 3 a.m. in the morning, begging and vomiting? And what, she wasn't charmed by that?
- Alfie: [to the viewer] Of all the women I've known,the one I let my guard down with delivers the knockout punch
- Joe: You did the only thing you could do. You behaved like a gentlemen.
- Alfie: I've never been accused of that before.
- Joe: Don't get all choked up. You also behaved like a scheming, back-stabbing, so low could look up a snake's asshole, son of a bitch. Next time think before you unzip.
- Alfie: Alright, you screwed up. So what are you gonna do, hmm? Run to the bridge? The question is, what's gonna happen with the rest of your life.
- Alfie: [to the viewer] I, myself, subscribe more to the European philosophy of life, my priorities leaning towards wine, women... well, actually, that's about it.
- Alfie: [to the viewer] I told you how we men are. We want showstoppers. And the problem is, Julie hasn't got enough of the superficial things that really matter.
- Flower Shop Proprietor: Tell me what she - or he - is like, and we'll find the appropriate bloom.
- Alfie: Well - she - is... You know what, she's adventurous.
- Flower Shop Proprietor: Ah.
- [grabbing first bloom]
- Flower Shop Proprietor: Frivolite!
- Alfie: And, very sexy.
- Flower Shop Proprietor: I'm thinking, Dolce Vita!
- Alfie: A little mischievous. Cheeky?
- Flower Shop Proprietor: Avalanche. With a touch of Mi Amore.
- Alfie: And then under it all, she's, she's just. She's just kind of... sweet.
- Alfie: I think this just might be my favorite position. I know it was President Kennedy's. He was such a great leader. Of course JFK used the old bad back excuse, but if you ask me, he knew that it gives you the maximum pleasure with minimum exertion.
- Alfie: And so, it came to pass, that after all those years, little Alfred finally got what he wanted for Christmas.
