Greatest movie scenes: Some Like It Hot


This is the memorable final scene from Some Like It Hot (1959), one of the best comedy films ever made, directed by Billy Wilder and starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon.


Osgood: I called Mama. She was so happy she cried. She wants you to have her wedding gown. It's white lace.
Daphne: Yeah, Osgood. I can't get married in your mother's dress. Ha ha. That-she and I, we are not built the same way.
Osgood: We can have it altered.
Daphne: Aw no you don't! Osgood, I'm gonna level with you. We can't get married at all.
Osgood: Why not?
Daphne: Well, in the first place, I'm not a natural blonde.
Osgood: Doesn't matter.
Daphne: I smoke. I smoke all the time.
Osgood: I don't care.
Daphne: Well, I have a terrible past. For three years now, I've been living with a saxophone player.
Osgood: I forgive you.
Daphne: I can never have children.
Osgood: We can adopt some.
Jerry-Daphne: But you don't understand, Osgood. Uh, I'm a man.
Osgood: Well, nobody's perfect.
