Fairchild: You've been there for two weeks. I doubt every single person in Paris thinks you're an idiot.
Sabrina: Only because I haven't met them all.

Sabrina: Once upon a time, on the north shore of Long Island, not far from New York, there was a very, very large mansion, almost a castle. And on this very large estate lived a small girl. And life was pleasant there and very, very simple. But, then one day, the girl grew up and went beyond the walls of the grounds and found the world.
|
Linus Larrabee: I've been following in footsteps all my life. Save me, Sabrina fair, you're the only one who can.
|
Linus Larrabee: So your little poem, what does it mean?
Sabrina: It's the story of a water sprite that saves a virgin from a fate worse than death.
Linus Larrabee: And Sabrina's the virgin.
Sabrina: Sabrina's the savior.
|
Louis: [Louis and Sabrina are kissing] I'm in Paris but you are somewhere else.
Sabrina: I'm sorry, Louis... I shouldn't have done this.
Louis: I would like to help. But what you have to fix, you won't fix it in bed. You have to fix it *here*.
[pointing to her head]
|
Linus Larrabee: Listen, I work in the real world with real responsibilities.
Sabrina: I know you work in the real world and you're very good at it. But that's work. Where do you live Linus?
|
Linus Larrabee: Here? Lousy. So far, I'm more affected than she is. I damn near cried twice.
|
David Larrabee: Sabrina?
Linus Larrabee: Why does he keep saying that?
|
Sabrina: You probably don't believe in marriage.
Linus Larrabee: Yes, I do. That's why I never got married. David, however, believes in the tooth fairy.
Sabrina: That's why I like him.
Linus Larrabee: Well, I like him too. As a matter of fact, I love him. I just don't know what to do with him.
|
David Larrabee: Great hat, mother.
|
David Larrabee: You know, of all the girls I've known... and I've known some - isn't that a song? "You're the only girl I danced with only once."
Sabrina: Twice.
David Larrabee: What? How could I have forgotten? Was it the champagne?
Sabrina: I was eight, and you were taking dancing lessons. I was homework.
|
Linus Larrabee: And I want tickets to whatever Broadway show nobody can get tickets to.
Mack: The most difficult tickets to get will be for a Broadway musical.
Linus Larrabee: So?
Mack: That means that the performers will periodically dance about and burst into song.
|
Sabrina: What was Linus like as a boy?
Fairchild: Shorter.
|
Sabrina: I never thought of you as a dancer.
Linus Larrabee: I'm crazy about it. They call me Bojangles at the office.
|
Sabrina: More isn't always better, Linus. Sometimes it's just more.
|
Linus Larrabee: David, sit down.
David Larrabee: I can't talk right now, I have to be somewhere.
Linus Larrabee: Just sit down!
David Larrabee: [David sits and there is the sound of glass crunching] Owwwaaahhh! I sat on the glasses!
Maude Larrabee: What? Who put glasses on the chair?
David Larrabee: I'm bleeding! Could we talk about this later, please?
|
Maude Larrabee: I feel terrible.
Linus Larrabee: Take a pill.
Maude Larrabee: Watch it. I'm still your mother.
Linus Larrabee: And you taught me everything I know.
Maude Larrabee: I didn't teach you this.
|
Sabrina: It never rained on the night of a Larrabee party, the Larrabee's wouldn't have stood for it.
|
Sabrina: Didn't you once say everything is business?
Linus Larrabee: No, but it sounds like me.
|
Maude Larrabee: Did Elizabeth pick out her dress yet?
Mrs. Ingrid Tyson: We're still working on the guest list. Six hundred so far, and that's just on our side!
Patrick Tyson: That's not a wedding, it's a town.
Mrs. Ingrid Tyson: Stop, it's going to be wonderful! Elegant but simple, lavish but tasteful...
Patrick Tyson: Cheap but expensive.
|
Sabrina: I thought it was all a lie.
Linus Larrabee: It was. It was a lie... but then it was a dream.
|
Mrs. Ingrid Tyson: Fabulous party, Maude! I'm so sorry Elizabeth wasn't able to make it.
Maude Larrabee: So am I.
[chagrined]
Maude Larrabee: She gave me a dog.
|
Linus Larrabee: Well I just don't feel like buying anymore networks this year. There's never anything good on.
|
Linus Larrabee: I pay for your life, David. My life makes your life possible.
David Larrabee: I resent that...
Linus Larrabee: So do I!
|
Elizabeth Tyson, MD: Why don't you marry me?
David Larrabee: Uh... ok, why don't I?
Elizabeth Tyson, MD: Don't joke about stuff like that.
David Larrabee: Ok... why don't I?
Elizabeth Tyson, MD: You sure you know what it is?
David Larrabee: Yeah! That thing where you hang together a lot, and sleep in the same bed, and button each other's hard to reach buttons...
Elizabeth Tyson, MD: Then I accept.
David Larrabee: You do? Why?
|
[Sabrina and David are dancing]
Maude Larrabee: They grew up together. She's like a sister to him, Patrick.
Patrick Tyson: I have a sister. That's not how we dance.
|
Linus Larrabee: Go ahead, say it.
Fairchild: You don't deserve her.
Linus Larrabee: I don't, I know that; but I need her, and I don't need anything.

[first lines]
Sabrina: Once upon a time, on the north shore of Long Island, not far from New York, there was a very very large mansion, almost a castle, where there lived a family by the name of Larrabee. There were servants inside the mansion, and servants outside the mansion; boatmen to tend the boats, and six crews of gardeners: two for the solarium, the rest for the grounds, and a tree surgeon on retainer. There were specialists for the indoor tennis courts, and the outdoor tennis courts, the outdoor swimming pool, and the indoor swimming pool. And over the garage there lived a chauffeur by the name of Fairchild, imported from England years ago, together with a Rolls Royce; and a daughter, named Sabrina.

Airline attendant: First time on the concorde, Mr. Larrabee?
Linus Larrabee: Yes.
Airline attendant: But not your first time in Paris?
Linus Larrabee: It is my first everything.
|
David Larrabee: She's a real woman, not a, you know.
Linus Larrabee: Transvestite?
David Larrabee: She's not a bimbo.
|
Linus Larrabee: I think you know I love you. And you promised if there was anything you could ever do...
|
Sabrina: They say you think morals are pictures on walls and scruples is money in Russia.
|
David Larrabee: You guys work Sundays now?
Linus Larrabee: It's Wednesday, David.
|
Linus Larrabee: [David is indisposed so Linus meets up with Sabrina instead and romances her] Oh, I almost forgot.
[He kisses her]
Linus Larrabee: The rest of the message from David.
Sabrina: [Sabrina slaps him and there is a pause] What am I doing? I never should have... I'm -
Linus Larrabee: No, it's - ...
Sabrina: No, I mean - -you have my handprint on your face.
Linus Larrabee: I think it would be better if you pick up your messages in person. You'll see David tomorrow.
[He leaves]
|
Mack: We were up to our elbows in your underwear drawer. It was like touching the Shroud of Turin.
|
David Larrabee: Did the dry cleaners have your car?
|
Sabrina: Paris is always a good idea.
|
Sabrina: They say you're the world's only living heart donor.
|
Linus Larrabee: It really is a beautiful name. How did you get it?
Sabrina: My father's reading of course.
Linus Larrabee: Oh?
Sabrina: "Sabrina fair, listen where thou art sitting, under the glassy, cool, transluscent wave, in twisted braids of lilies knitting, the loose train of thy amber dropping hair."
|
Sabrina: You know, I've been to every party you've ever had. Right there. in that tree, like a bat. Now, here we are... dancing in front of God and everyone.
|
Mrs. Ingrid Tyson: Here are the wedding invitations. We thought we'd use recycled paper.
Maude Larrabee: Why does it always look dirty?
