• 1. Count Leon Dalga: Ninotchka, you like me just a little bit?
  2. Ninotchka: Your general appearance is not distasteful.
  3. Count Leon Dalga: Thank you.
  4. Ninotchka: The whites of your eyes are clear. Your cornea is excellent.
  5. Count Leon Dalga: - your cornea's terrific! Ninotchka tell me, you're so expert on things: can it be that I'm falling in love with you?
  6. Ninotchka: Why must you bring in wrong values? Love is a romantic designation for a most ordinary biological, or shall we say chemical, process. A lot of nonsense is taught and written about it.
  7. Count Leon Dalga: Oh I see. What do you use instead?
  8. Ninotchka: I acknowledge the existence of a natural impulse, common to all.
  9. Count Leon Dalga: What can I possibly do to encourage such an impulse in you?
  10. Count Leon Dalga: You don't have to do a thing. Chemically we're already quite sympathetic.

• 1. Count Leon Dalga: Pardon me, are you an explorer?
  2. Ninotchka: No. I'm looking for the Eiffel Tower.
  3. Count Leon Dalga: Good Heavens, is that thing lost again? Oh, are you interested in the view?
  4. Ninotchka: I'm interested in the Eiffel Tower from a technical standpoint.
  5. Count Leon Dalga: Technical? No, no, I'm afraid I couldn't be of much help from that angle. You see a Parisian only goes to the tower in moments of despair - to jump off.
  6. Ninotchka: How long does it take a man to land?
  7. Count Leon Dalga: Now isn't that too bad, the last time I jumped I forgot to time it.
