Joan Crawford
(as Flaemmchen)
[to Preysing, after he tries to get 'familiar' with her by asking her to call him by his first name]

And you said, 'That's the young lady who was my secretary in Manchester.' That's all quite propper. But supposing I saw you and yelled 'Hi baby. Remember Manchester.'

Flaemmchen: Yeah, and you were with your wife. How would you like that?
