A couple of intellectuals: Larry Lipton (Woody Allen) and his
wife Carol (Diane Keaton) meet theif neighbours. Unexpectedly
Mrs. House dies after a heart attack. Carol suspects that it was
not accidental and she starts her own investigation. After a while
Larry joines her, which is the beginning of a very fascinating
plot.
Quotes:
Marcia is teaching Larry poker.
Marcia: "Want any cards?"
Larry: "I'm gonna have...I'll have...I'm gonna have four
cards."
Marcia: "Cruising for bruising."
Larry: "Inside and outside straight."
Larry: "What do you mean, you snuck into his apartment? Are
you nuts?"
Carol: "Oh, stop being such a fuddy-dud."
Larry: "Fuddy-dud? Are you kidding? That's a crime. That's
breaking and entering. What has gotten into you lately? For crying
out loud. Save a little craziness for menopause."
Carol: "It was a cinch. I took the key and I let myself in."
Larry: "I don't want to know. You'll wind up rooming with
John Gotti."
Larry: "I forbid you! I forbid you to go! I'm forbidding
it! Is that what you do when I forbid you? I'm not going to be
forbidding you a lot." Then he rushes over to the House's
door to continue trying to dissuade her. "We should be asleep
in one of our many cuddling positions. This is no good, I promise
you. This can only lead to great unhappiness."
Carol: "Relax."
Larry: "I can't relax. I'm in a strange man's apartment in
my t-shirt and pajamas."
Carol: "Ted told me to try something here..."
Larry: "What do you mean, Ted told you? What is he, your
mentor? Ted is a sick schmuck."
