An American in Paris Love Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from An American in Paris.

Quote #1

HENRI: Let's just say I'm old enough to know what to do with my young feelings.

Quote #2

JERRY: Well, uh, with a binding like you've got, people are going to want to know what's in the book.

LISE: What does that mean?

JERRY: Well, uh, primarily, it means you're a very pretty girl.

LISE: I am?

JERRY: You are.

LISE: How do you know?

JERRY: I, uh, heard it on the radio.

When Jerry meets Lise, it's love at first sight, at least for Jerry. He knows nothing about her and, as a result, his cheesy come-ons are lost on her.

Quote #3

LISE: I haven't been out with many people, and they're always friends.

JERRY: Honey, believe me, I'm no enemy.

For Jerry, there's no line between love and lust. When he woos Lise, he comes on really strong, 1950s American-style .
