Cora Smith: It's too bad Nick took the car.
Frank Chambers: Even if it was here we couldn't take it, unless we'd want to spend the night in jail. Stealing a man's wife, that's nothing, but stealing a man's car, that's larceny.
Cora Smith: That note I left Nick, if he gets back before we do and finds it.
Frank Chambers: Where'd you leave it?
Cora Smith: In the cash register.
Frank Chambers: That's terrific, that's the first place he'll look.
Frank Chambers: You know, there's something about this that's like, well it's like you're expecting a letter that you're just crazy to get, and you're hanging around the front door for fear you might not hear him ring. You never realise that he always rings twice.
Cora Smith: It's my wedding present to him, but the way he wears it, you'd think it was a noose around his neck.
Cora Smith: I want to make something of this place, I want to make it into an honest-to-goodness.
Frank Chambers: Well, aren't we ambitious.
Cora Smith: You won't find anything cheap around here.
