所以當她的掏金夢再度破滅,某位南美的有錢人因為家庭名譽問題不能娶她,她與男主角Paul坐在計程車上,Holly卻還繼續做著她的南美大夢,嚷著說她要去那兒找尋機會嫁給有錢人,之後的對話是這樣的。
Paul Varjak: I love you.
Holly Golightly: So what.
Paul Varjak: So what? So plenty! I love you, you belong to me!
Holly Golightly: [tearfully] No. People don't belong to people.
Paul Varjak: Of course they do!
Holly Golightly: I'll never let ANYBODY put me in a cage.
Paul Varjak: I don't want to put you in a cage, I want to love you!
(部分對話省略。開了車門,Holly將貓趕離計程車後再關上)
Paul Varjak: You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
(Paul拿出戒指)
Paul Varjak: Here. I've been carrying this thing around for months. I don't want it anymore.
(Paul下車回頭尋貓)
這段對話最有趣也最經典的地方是,那位女主角自以為狂野奔放,不願意被限制、被束縛,但男主角很清楚地點醒她的迷思──她的追尋﹝也可說是逃避﹞反而成為她的牢籠。這讓我想到,很多人都曾自以為會飛黃騰達,所以現在的家人、愛人跟他的「未來」並不搭配,因此,一切現有的、真實的東西,在他眼裡都太遜了,因為他還有大好前程哩!我不否認,對有些人而言,飛黃騰達對他而言會代表個性、興趣、思想、態度的改變,使得他與目前的伴侶或家人格格不入,現在不分開,以後還是要分。然而對更多人而言,「飛黃騰達」這件事不一定發生,或是發生了但很短暫,或是發生了但更孤單﹝你不知道現在愛你的人看上的是名還是利﹞,或者,找到了「帶出去很有面子」的伴侶,家庭生活卻無比痛苦。片中這段對話或許可以讓一些自認前途無量、不想被綁住的人思考一下。
另外一幕表白戲是我非常喜歡的:
Holly Golightly: I'll tell you one thing, Fred, darling﹝註:因Paul長得像Holly的弟弟Fred,所以Holly會稱他Fred darling﹞... I'd marry you for your money in a minute. Would you marry me for my money?
Paul Varjak: In a minute.
Holly Golightly: I guess it's pretty lucky neither of us is rich, huh?
Paul Varjak: Yeah.
這段對話的張力之強的!雖然兩人只是用「我願意"為錢"娶/嫁你」來模糊焦點,但是從兩人的熱切語氣跟講完後那段尷尬的沉默與彼此眼神對望,觀眾很明顯地知道這兩人根本想表白,可是又還說不出口。總之,這段對我而言太浪漫了。
我們會害怕螢幕上許多被過份誇張的肉食女,她們齊聚一堂穿華服背名牌,張牙舞爪地告訴我們這就是這個時代的女性主義,對此我非常懷疑,甚至認為她們撐不起這些物品的價值(無論有價的或無形的),但是我相信絕對沒有人會討厭荷莉‧葛萊特利這個招蜂引蝶的天真女孩,這就是上個世代的傳奇巨星所留下的魅力與奇蹟。
