Would you like another hit of espresso?


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.
(The Thomas Crown Affair, 1968)
