Grand Hotel (film)

"What do you do in the Grand Hotel? Eat. Sleep. Loaf around. Flirt a little. Dance a little. A hundred doors leading to one hall, and no one knows anything about the person next to them. And when you leave, someone occupies your room, lies in your bed, and that's the end."

"When a man's collar is an inch too big for him I know he's ill."

"Believe me, Mr. Kringelein, a man who is not with a woman is a dead man."

"The Grand Hotel. Always the same. People come. People go...nothing ever happens."

"I think Suzette, I've never been so tired in all my life.."

"Then we’ll go to Tremezzo. I have a villa there. The sun will shine! […] We’ll be happy and lazy. […] It will be divine ! Divine ! Divine !"

"To life! To the magnificent, dangerous, brief, brief, wonderful life...and the courage to live it! You know, Baron, I've only lived since last night, but that little while seems longer than all the time that's gone before."

"[to Preysing, after he tries to get 'familiar' with her by asking her to call him by his first name] You know I always say that nothing should be left hanging over. And names are like that. Suppose I met you next year and said, 'How do you do Mr. Preysing?' And you said, 'That's the young lady who was my secretary in Manchester.' That's all quite proper. But supposing I saw you and yelled 'Hi baby. Remember Manchester.' [he laughs] Yeah, and you were with your wife. How would you like that?"

"I don't know much about women. I've been married for 28 years, you know."
