Ninotchka

Ninotchka
Leon: “Will you smile?”
Ninotchka: “Why?”
Leon: “Well, just smile.”
Ninotchka: “At what?”
Leon: “At anything.
At the whole ridiculous spectacle of life.
At people being so serious, taking themselves pompously, exaggerating their own importance.
If you can’t think of anything else to laugh at, you can laugh at you and me.”
(From Wikiquote)

I love this woman.
Ninotchka (by Ernst Lubitsch, 1939).
