Movie Quote of the Day – Born To Kill, 1947 (dir. Robert Wise)
Sam Wilde: Is somebody meeting you when we get off the ferry?
Helen Brent: No. I’m going to pick up a cab.
Sam Wilde: Swell. We’ll share one.
Helen Brent: I’m afraid not. We go in different directions.
Sam Wilde: That’s where you’re wrong. We’re going in the same direction, you and I.

Sam displays his self-assurance in that scene by asking her, “When am I going to seen you again?” A less confident man would ask, “Can I see you again?”
I wrote a short essay on Born to Kill called “Why Women Love Bad Boys.” Here is the link if you would like to read it: https://christopherjohnlindsay.wordpress.com/2014/03/19/born-to-kill/
I am open to any helpful feedback.
