"...and where she was and when and where she's going."
All About Eve
"Eve."
All About Eve
"You all know all about Eve."

"What can there be to know that you don't know?"

"Mrs. Richards?"
All About Eve
"There you are."

"It seemed odd, suddenly, your not being here."

"- Why should you think I wouldn't be? - Why should you be?"
All About Eve
"Six nights a week for weeks of watching even Margo Channing enter and leave a theater."
All About Eve
"- You don't mind my speaking to you? - Not at all."
All About Eve
"I've seen you so often. It took every bit of courage I could raise."
All About Eve
"To speak to just a playwright's wife?"
All About Eve
"I'm the lowest form of celebrity."

All About Eve
"Bill Sampson? He's... he's a director."
All About Eve
"- He's the best. - He'll agree with you."
All About Eve
"Tell me. What do you do in between the time Margo goes in and comes out?"
All About Eve
"Just huddle in that doorway and wait?"
All About Eve
"Oh, no. I see the play."
All About Eve
"You see the play? You've seen every performance of this play?"
All About Eve
"Yes."
All About Eve
"But don't you find it, apart from everything else, don't you find it expensive?"
All About Eve
"Standing room doesn't cost much. I manage."
All About Eve
"- I'm gonna take you to Margo. - Oh, no!"
All About Eve
"- Oh, yes! She's got to meet you. - No, I'd be imposing on her."
