"You're a rotten driver," I protested. "Either you ought to be more careful or you oughtn't to drive at all."
"I AM careful."
"No, you're not."
"Well, other people are,"
she said lightly, in the way she would let me know she was forcing a type of mock-arguement that we both enjoyed as casual sport.
"What's that got to do with it?"
"They'll keep out of my way!"
she insisted. "It takes two to make an accident."
"Suppose you met somebody just as careless as yourself."

"I hope I never will,"
she answered. "I hate careless people. That's why I like you."

I'd like to meet:

I looked back at her as she began to ask me questions in her low, thrilling voice. It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again. Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth - but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing complusion, a whispered "Listen", a promise that she had done gay, exciting things just a while since and that there were gay, exciting things hovering in the next hour. -- "The Great Gatsby", F. Scott Fitzgerald
