Thomas Crown edit
- A woman could trust me as long as her interests weren't too contrary to my own.
- Have you figured out what you're going to say to your board when they realize you paid me thirty million more than others were offering?
- Do you want to dance? Or do you want to dance?
Catherine Banning edit
- I saw him wreck a 100,000 dollar boat because he liked the splash.
- You think I'd believe you'd leave your hard stolen painting around a Caribbean hut?
- You're not boring, I'll give you that.
- Men make women messy.
The Psychiatrist edit
- Has it occurred to you that you have a problem with trust?
Dialogue edit
- Thomas Crown: May I ask you a very personal question?
- Catherine Banning: Why not.
- Thomas Crown: Would you like another hit of espresso?
- [Catherine looks confused.]
- Thomas Crown: Would you..
- Catherine Banning: ..like another hit of espresso, that's the very personal question?
- Thomas Crown: That's as good as it gets.
- Catherine Banning: Excuse me, may I ask you a very personal question?
- Thomas Crown: Oh sure, by all means.
- Catherine Banning: Do you really think I am going to sleep with the man I am investigating?
- Thomas Crown: Is that the question?
- Catherine Banning: Yes that's it.
- Thomas Crown: Now why should I answer your question when you didn't seriously commit to my espresso?
- Catherine Banning: All right, then I'll seriously commit to your espresso.
- Catherine Banning: What makes you think they failed? Maybe it was a successful robbery. Maybe they were setup to fail.
- Detective McCann: Why?
- Catherine Banning: Diversion, make a lot of noise over there so over here in this room you can take a hundred million off the wall and waltz right out the front door. Oh that's good.
- Catherine Banning: You complimented me.
- Thomas Crown: How?
- Catherine Banning: They were bankers.
- Thomas Crown: Who?
- Catherine Banning: Who? The suits. You're transferring assets. Getting ready to run.
- Thomas Crown: Suppose I did run. What would you have? Not the painting, not the five million dollar fee, and not me.
- Catherine Banning: Yes.
- Thomas Crown: Suppose I gave you ten.
- Catherine Banning: To fail? How would I hide it?
- Thomas Crown: I'd teach you.
- Catherine Banning: You really think there's happily ever after for people like us?
- Catherine Banning: That island isn't Manhattan.
- Thomas Crown: It's not?
- Catherine Banning: I have appointments.
- Thomas Crown: Wanna keep 'em?
- Catherine Banning: Oh! This must go over!
- Thomas Crown: With whom?
- Catherine Banning: Whoever you bring here.
- Thomas Crown: I never bring anyone here.
