Once Upon a Time in America Quote
Deborah Gelly : Why do you want to see me?
Noodles : Two reasons. I wanted to see if you did the right thing, turning me down to be an actress.
Deborah Gelly : Well?
Noodles : You did. You're terrific. [ Disregarding the wrinkles on Deborah's face, Noodles gazes at a theatre poster of "Anthony and Cleopatra," which Deborah had just acted in ]
Noodles : "Age cannot wither her..." It's like the play was written for you.
Deborah Gelly : What was the other reason?
Noodles : The other reason is... to decide whether I should go to a party tomorrow night. [ Deborah is slightly amused by this answer ]
Deborah Gelly : A party?
Noodles : Yeah, on Long Island. A Secretary Bailey. [ Deborah gives a slight but unmistakeable start ]
Deborah Gelly : Do you know Secretary Bailey?
Noodles : No, but I was invited anyway.
Deborah Gelly : If you don't know each other, why were you invited?
Noodles : I don't know. I thought you might know why.
Deborah Gelly : Me? Why me? [ Noodles gets up and walks over to Deborah ]
Noodles : Because you know him.
