Movie - Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

Quotes:

"Poor old car.  Poor slob.  Poor slob without a name. I don't have the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together.  I'm not sure where that is, but I know what it's like. It's like Tiffany's." -- Holly

You should be used to taking money from ladies by now." -- Holly

"You know what's wrong with you, Miss whoever-you-are?  You're chicken.  You've got no guts.  You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, 'Okay.  Life's a fact.  People do fall in love.  People do belong to each other.'  Because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness.  You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage.  Well Baby, you're already in that cage -- you built it yourself.  And it's not bounded on the west by Tulip, Texas or on the east by Somaliland.  It's wherever you go.  Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself." -- Paul
