The exchange of dialogue between the hero and the villain in the Hitchcock movie [i]North by Northwest.[/i]
Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant), who has been mistaken for a spy, rages at spymaster Phillip Van Dam (James Mason). Van Damm believes Thornhill is faking his anger.

Thornhill: And I suppose [i]you[/i] want me to play dead!!!
