- Eva: Am I working for you?
- Harry Lime: What do you bring to the partnership?
- [Eva grabs Harry and they kiss passionately]
- Eva: Is that a serious question?
- Harry Lime: If it is, you just answered it.
- [Mr. White, the purser, has just found Harry in a card sharp's cabin]
- The Purser: You know, Mr. Lime, if I boarded a ship in the middle of the Mediterrean on the very thin pretext of wanting to buy her, I'd watch my step.
- Harry Lime: Well, that's exactly what I am doing, Mr. White.
- Harry Lime: You interest me, Mr. Jahn, maybe because you're so different from me. I changed from a rather obscure past into respectability; you went the other way - from a professor of metallurgy to a bank robber.
