1* Frank's and Elise's first meeting on the train:
2--> '''Frank''': My name's Frank.
3--> '''Elise''': That's a terrible name.
4--> '''Frank''': ''[Shrugs]'' It's the only one I've got.
5--> '''Elise''': Perhaps we can find you a new one.
6
7* Frank's attempts to invite Elise to dinner.
8--> '''Elise''': Invite me to dinner, Frank?
9--> '''Frank''': What?
10--> '''Elise''': ''[Gives him a look]''
11--> '''Frank''': Would you like to have dinner?
12--> '''Elise''': Women don't like questions.
13--> '''Frank''': Join me for dinner.
14--> '''Elise''': Too demanding.
15--> '''Frank''': Join me for dinner?
16--> '''Elise''': Another question.
17--> '''Frank''': ''[Thinks for a moment]'' I'm having dinner, if you'd care to join me.
18--> '''Elise''': ''[Smiles at him]''
19
20* When Frank sees Elise in her evening wear.
21--> '''Frank''': [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck.]]
22--> '''Elise''': ''[Gives look]''.
23--> '''Frank''': You're ravenous.
24--> '''Elise''': Do you mean 'ravishing'?
25--> '''Frank''': I do.
26--> '''Elise''': You're ravenous.
27--> '''Frank''': I am.
28
29* When the two thugs are trying to break into Frank's hotel room and he calls the reception for help.
30--> '''Frank''': ''[Into the phone]'' Hello? Please help!
31--> '''Concierge''': ''[Answering phone]'' Buongiorno, signore.
32--> '''Frank''': Buongiorno--I, I need help! There are two men trying to break down the door...
33--> '''Concierge''': I see, what kind of problem do you have with the door, sir?
34--> '''Frank''': No, no, no! There are two men with guns trying to break in! Dos hombres, con... con pistolas!
35--> '''Concierge''': Your Spanish is excellent, sir.
36--> '''Frank''': Thank you...
37--> ''[The thugs start to shoot out the door lock]''
38--> '''Frank''': Ah, I gotta go! ''[Frank drops the phone and exits through the window]''
39--> '''Concierge''': Sir? ''[Slams down the receiver]'' American!
40
41* Frank's constant use of Spanish instead of Italian is pretty funny in just about every instance.
42--> '''Frank''': ''Gracias.''
43--> '''Policeman''': ''[{{Beat}}]'' De nada.
44
45* Fleeing his would-be assailants, Frank runs along rooftops, leaps across a gap to an awning, and dashes through a crowded marketplace... in his pajamas. The chase ends when he runs into a policeman (literally), and is promptly arrested. (Yes, the whole sequence is ''very'' reminiscent of [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl Jack Sparrow]].)
46
47* After Frank narrowly escapes the two thugs.
48--> '''Policeman''': You wish to report a murder.
49--> '''Frank''': Attempted murder.
50--> '''Policeman''': That's not so serious.
51--> '''Frank''': Not when you downgrade it from murder. But when you upgrade it from room service, it's quite serious.
52
53* Right after Shaw strangles an incompetent minion with a measuring tape.
54--> '''Shaw''': ''[Checking new suit in mirror]'' Does it look all right?
55--> '''Bodyguard''': ''[Nervous]'' Yes. Like always.
56--> '''Shaw''': What's always?
57--> '''Bodyguard''': Very good.
58--> '''Shaw''': Yes, I think it looks all right.
59
60* Shaw referring to Alexander's stealing millions of dollars from him.
61--> You know, Alexander was like a son to me. I loved him. That brilliant, playful, disrespectful young bastard. I even thought that he and I were two of a kind. Oh, I took great pleasure in never knowing what this man would do next. Until one day what he did next didn't give me any pleasure at all.
62
63* At the end, as the two are escaping on a boat.
64--> '''Elise''': Twenty million dollars worth of plastic surgery and that's the face you choose?
65--> '''Frank''': You don't like it?
66--> '''Elise''': ''(smiles)'' It will do.
