The famous last line of Billy Wilder’s The Apartment, winner of the 1961 Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Screenplay, punctuates a game of gin rummy between Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine) and C. C. “Bud” Baxter (Jack Lemmon):
BUD
I love you, Miss Kubelik.
FRAN

Seven --
(looking at Bud's card)
-- queen.
She hands the deck to Bud.
BUD
Did you hear what I said, Miss
Kubelik? I absolutely adore you.
FRAN
(smiling)
Shut up and deal!
