Dita Quotes in Legend of the Lost (1957)

Dita: Poor Paul. He was so kind! How could it happen?

Joe January: [Cynically] It happens...

Dita: But to him? He believed in God!

Joe January: I can't recite any Psalms for ya', but I know about people who believe in God. Our friend didn't! He put his faith in his father. A man! A human being! That's an easy faith to lose. I know about that, too.

Dita: But he was a good man. He tried to do good. He dreamed of goodness all his life.

Joe January: I'm gettin' a little sick of this "Poor Paul," "Kind man," "Full of grace." What does it take to wake you up? He didn't believe in anything but being a big-shot with God as a front. I've seen these do-gooders before - usually doin' the most good for themSELVES! Believing in God is different than drooling over rubies and emeralds.

Dita: I can cook, I can breathe, I can live!

Paul Bonnard: [Referring to his watch] Why did you steal it?

Dita: I wanted it.

Dita: You never kissed me like thatt before.

Joe January: I always meant to.

Dita: Aw, Jerry, you didn't have to do that.

Jerry: No that's all right, I'm Jewish, I never get to do this kind of stuff.

Dita's son: You never had a Christmas tree? Why?
