I always thought American women would be different. I thought in America they'd broken the inhibitions barrier and it was all one long sex feast.

I love you, Lula Mae.
Holly Golightly:
I know you do, and that's just the trouble. It's the mistake you always made, Doc, trying to love a wild thing. You were always lugging home wild things. Once it was a hawk with a broken wing . . . and another time it was a full-grown wildcat with a broken leg. Remember?
Doc:
Lula Mae there's something . . .
Holly:
You musn't give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get, until they're strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree and then to the sky.
