- Frank's and Elise's first meeting on the train:Frank: My name's Frank.Elise: That's a terrible name.Frank: [Shrugs] It's the only one I've got.Elise: Perhaps we can find you a new one.
- Frank's attempts to invite Elise to dinner.Elise: Invite me to dinner, Frank?Frank: What?Elise: [Gives him a look]Frank: Would you like to have dinner?Elise: Women don't like questions.Frank: Join me for dinner.Elise: Too demanding.Frank: Join me for dinner?Elise: Another question.Frank: [Thinks for a moment] I'm having dinner, if you'd care to join me.Elise: [Smiles at him]
- When Frank sees Elise in her evening wear.Frank: Fuck.Elise: [Gives look].Frank: You're ravenous.Elise: Do you mean 'ravishing'?Frank: I do.Elise: You're ravenous.Frank: I am.
- When the two thugs are trying to break into Frank's hotel room and he calls the reception for help.Frank: [Into the phone] Hello? Please help!Concierge: [Answering phone] Buongiorno, signore.Frank: Buongiorno—I, I need help! There are two men trying to break down the door...Concierge: I see, what kind of problem do you have with the door, sir?Frank: No, no, no! There are two men with guns trying to break in! Dos hombres, con... con pistolas!Concierge: Your Spanish is excellent, sir.Frank: Thank you...[The thugs start to shoot out the door lock]Frank: Ah, I gotta go! [Frank drops the phone and exits through the window]Concierge: Sir? [Slams down the receiver] American!
- Frank's constant use of Spanish instead of Italian is pretty funny in just about every instance.Frank: Gracias.Policeman: [Beat] De nada.
- 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 Jack Sparrow.)
- After Frank narrowly escapes the two thugs.Policeman: You wish to report a murder.Frank: Attempted murder.Policeman: That's not so serious.Frank: Not when you downgrade it from murder. But when you upgrade it from room service, it's quite serious.

- Shaw referring to Alexander's stealing millions of dollars from him.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.
- At the end, as the two are escaping on a boat.Elise: Twenty million dollars worth of plastic surgery and that's the face you choose?Frank: You don't like it?Elise: (smiles) It will do.
