Daisy Buchanan:
So why did you ask me to come alone? Are you in love with me?
Nick Carraway:
[chuckles] No.
Daisy Buchanan:
[Walks into the house] Oh! Flowers! Are we having a funeral?
Daisy Buchanan:
[hears Gatsby knocking on the door] And that must be the corpse!

Jordan Baker:
When I first met you, Daisy came up to my room later and woke me. She wanted to know what Gatsby. When I described him, she said in the strangest voice it must be a man she knew. Then it all came back to me. They knew each other in Louisville five years ago. We ran with different crowds then but I remember seeing them together once in her car. And I remember he looked at her in that way that all young girls want to be looked at sometime.
Nick Carraway:
A strange coincidence.
Jordan Baker:
It wasn't a coincidence at all. I think he half expected her to wander into one of his parties some night. She never did.
Nick Carraway:
What do you mean?
Jordan Baker:
Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay. He wants to know if you'll invite her over to your house some afternoon and let him come over.
Nick Carraway:
Why didn't he ask you to arrange a meeting?
Jordan Baker:
He wants her to see his house, and your house is right next door.

Nick Carraway:
[First lines] [narrating]
Nick Carraway:
In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you've had." While reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope, I've come to admit that my tolerance of human behavior has its limits. Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this story, represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. And yet there was something gorgeous about him. Some hightened sensitivity to the promises of life, a romantic readiness such as I've never found in any other person and which it is not likely I'll ever find again.
