Michael Caine Quotes:
Alfie: Well, what harm can it do? Old Harry will never know. And even if he did, he shouldn't begrudge me - or her, come to that. And it'll round off the tea nicely.

Alfie: Mind you, she came over quite beautified for a while, particularly during the early months. And I told her: I said "Blimey, girl, you ain't as ugly as I thought".
Nicholas Urfe: You know what's wrong with marriage, Meli? It kills the fun in life.
[bites affair liaison apple]
Nicholas Urfe: It's the timid little people who can't gamble; who always want to know where they are. It's for mice, Meli, not for men.
