How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from All About Eve.
Quote #7
EVE: You know, I've always considered myself a very clever girl. Smart. Good head on my shoulders, that sort of thing, never the wrong word at the wrong time... but then, I'd never met Addison DeWitt. […] You find yourself trying to say what you mean, but somehow the words change…and they become his words…and suddenly you're not saying what you mean, but what he means.
The manipulations are doubling up on themselves so fast here, it's hard to keep track. Eve, of course, blames Addison entirely for twisting her words into the hateful column he wrote about Margo. She's just using him as a scapegoat. The irony is that Addison's column would be plenty hateful without Eve's influence; that's just who he is. At least he's upfront about it.
Quote #8
GIRL: Eve didn't say to call him, but I remembered that I saw Mr. Richards with her a couple of times, and I thought they being such good friends...
Lucky for Eve that she lives in the same building as a girl who's willing to collaborate in her scheme to get Lloyd to her house in the middle of the night. We're not sure what Eve has to do to get this girl to lie to Karen, but the girl's more than happy to do it.
Quote #9
ADDISON: What do you take me for?
EVE: I don't know that I'd take you for anything.
ADDISON: Is it possible, even conceivable, that you've confused me with that gang of backward children you play tricks on, that you have the same contempt for me as you have for them?
EVE: I'm sure you mean something by that, Addison, but I don't know what.
ADDISON: Look closely, Eve. It's time you did. I am Addison DeWitt. I am nobody's fool, least of all yours.
Game over.
