The Owl and the Pussycat poster

Overview

Meek, owlish Felix and strident, catty Doris live in the same apartment building. His incessant typing bothers her; her gentlemen callers bother him. Felix informs the landlord of her activities, so Doris moves in on Felix. When they both get thrown out, they move in with Barney... until they drive him out! That's when Felix and Doris finally decide to put theory into practice. But do opposites attract?

03:52:50 - But, Doris, in your case... - In my case? Yeah, I'm a special case.
03:54:15 But I'll tell you, I fall in love all the time, so it's no big deal.
03:55:34 - I won't. - You worked for it.
03:59:13 - Screw? - I beg your pardon?
04:01:42 Oh, boy.
04:03:19 We close in five minutes. Can I help you find something?
04:04:38 Felix Sherman?
04:06:37 I'm staying with my friend Eleanor. She's got this place on 14th Street.
04:07:47 - I don't know your address. - You could've given it to Eleanor.
04:09:10 - Yes, language... - Hey, baby, what do you say?
04:10:52 - I grabbed him by his smock... - Smock?
04:12:03 - He rolled hard-boiled eggs at me! - He rolled eggs at you?
04:13:40 ...and took literature, but he didn't learn anything about hard-boiled eggs.
04:15:12 A mutual appreciation of the arts and literature.
04:16:54 And I let out a scream and that's it.
04:18:25 ...real slow over the edge of the world.
04:21:07 I'm not, really. I just make you think I am.
04:23:11 How are you feeling? How come you and Miss Weyderhaus don't mess around?
04:24:44 Anyone in there?
04:26:11 - I felt like a cockroach. - Kafka.
04:27:27 - You could sit up, play dead. - You're scaring me.
04:29:18 The person you are staring at is Fred Sherman. Not Felix.
04:30:29 Don't turn around. Just stand there. Stand there and count to 50.
04:31:50 That's a coincidence. I don't live anyplace either.
