J. Edgar Quote
[J. Edgar Hoover and Helen Gandy are on a date in the public library]J. Edgar Hoover: Well, would you like to stay here, or go somewhere else?
Helen Gandy: It's up to you.
Helen Gandy: [Edgar chuckles and makes an attempt to kiss Helen]Mr. Hoover. I'm not sure where you think this is headed.
J. Edgar Hoover: Right, of course. Miss Gandy. [Edgar holds out his hand to hers and gets on one knee]
J. Edgar Hoover: I know we've only known each other a brief time, but you would make the finest of companions. Your strength, and your character, and your education.
Helen Gandy: Are you poking fun at me?
J. Edgar Hoover: No. No, no, no. No, no, of course not.
Helen Gandy: Then please, Mr. Hoover, stand up.
J. Edgar Hoover: I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't share this with any of the other women at the typing pool.
Helen Gandy: No, of course not.
J. Edgar Hoover: All right. May I ask what - what - what particular flaw you seem to find in my character?
Helen Gandy: No. We just met.
J. Edgar Hoover: Right, of course. But I believe that I am a fast and accurate judge of character. We've gone out three times, but I don't need more. Most people do, but I don't. I see people right off for what they are. And please, call me Edgar. It's what my mother uses.
Helen Gandy: Edgar?
J. Edgar Hoover: Yes?
Helen Gandy: Can you keep a secret?
J. Edgar Hoover: Yes. Of course. You have my word.
Helen Gandy: I'm not interested in getting married. My work comes first.
J. Edgar Hoover: Hmm. Then perhaps you would consider a position as my personal secretary.
Helen Gandy: [chuckles and nods]Yes.
J. Edgar Hoover: [Edgar smiles]Shall we.
Helen Gandy: It's up to you.
