“I’m an advertising man, not a red herring. I’ve got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don’t intend to disappoint them all by getting myself ‘slightly’ killed!”

Cary Grant in the MGM/Alfred Hitchcock thriller North by Northwest, 1959.

You’re very clever with words. You can probably make them do anything for you. Sell people things they don’t need. Make women who don’t know you fall in love with you.
