One of my favorite movies of all time is All About Eve. In my opinion, it is one of the best scripts ever written. End of story.

Margo Channing: So many people know me. I wish I did. I wish someone would tell me about me.

Addison DeWitt: You could sleep now, couldn’t you? The mark of a true killer.

Addison DeWitt: We all come into this world with our little egos equipped with individual horns. If we don’t blow them, who else will?

Margo Channing: Funny business, a woman’s career, the things you drop on the way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you’ll need them again when you get back to being a woman. It’s one career all females have in common - being a woman. Sooner or later we’ve got to work at it no matter how many other careers we’ve had or wanted. And in the last analysis nothing is any good unless you can look up just before dinner or turn around in bed and there he is. Without that you’re not a woman. You’re something with a French provincial office or a book full of clippings but you’re not a woman. Slow curtain, the end.

Margo Channing: Lovely speech, Eve. But I wouldn’t worry so much about your heart. You can always put that award where your heart ought to be.
