Audrey Hepburn in Charade

Peter: We don’t know each other, do we?
Reggie: Why? Do you think we’re going to?
Peter: I don’t know — how would I know?
Reggie: Because I already know an awful lot of people; until one of them dies, I couldn’t possibly meet anyone else.
Peter: Mmm. Well, if anyone goes on the critical list, let me know.

(from Charade, 1963, starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant)
