Quotes 

• Obregon : All you can think of is the way Gilda looked at you when you struck her, isn't it? You two kids love each other very terribly, don't you?

  Johnny Farrell : I hate her!

  Obregon : That's what I mean. It's the most curious love-hate pattern I've ever had the privilege of witnessing.

• Obregon : One isn't always so lucky.

  Gilda : I am.

  Obregon : You should watch out. Superstitious have an old saying.

  Gilda : Lucky at cards, unlucky at love. It's a good thing I'm not, isn't it?

  Obregon : Not what?

  Gilda : Superstitious.

• Johnny Farrell : Look, I've been watching you for weeks now.

  Obregon : Then, that makes us even.

  Johnny Farrell : You don't gamble. You don't drink. What do you hang around here for?

  Obregon : The atmosphere has always interested me.

  [looks at Gilda on the dance floor] 

  Obregon : Now, it positively fascinates me.

• Obregon : The least you could do is say goodbye and wish her luck.

• Obregon : A man can only die once.

• Obregon : Didn't you ever hear of a thing called justifiable homicide?
