When I was younger I thought there was something wrong with me. I didn’t understand the girls at school who giggled and flipped their hair. You know the girls I’m talking about. I was never that girl, but I could never find the words to describe what kind of girl I was. The other day I came across…

nesting @ Tiffany's
HOLLY GOLIGHTLY: Poor cat! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day by the river. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's.
PAUL VARJAK: Tiffany's? You mean the jewelry store.
HOLLY GOLIGHTLY: That's right. I'm just crazy about Tiffany's! Listen... You know those days when you get the mean reds?
PAUL VARJAK: The mean reds, you mean like the blues?
HOLLY GOLIGHTLY: No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad, that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
PAUL VARJAK: Sure.
HOLLY GOLIGHTLY: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then... then, I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!
