British screen idol Audrey Hepburn has topped a poll for delivering the most smouldering chat-up line in cinema history.
Online dating site Badoo.Com asked over 1,000 female users to place a selection of seductive female movie lines in order of preference.
The 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' star won for her dialouge in the 1963 thriller 'Charade', in which she tells Cary Grant, "I don't bite, you know, unless it is called for."
Actress Lauren Bacall landed second place for her dialouge in the 1944 film 'To Have And To Have Not' telling her future husband Humphrey Bogart- "You don't have to say anything, Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle don't you?"
And in third place was a cartoon character, Jessica Rabbit, voiced by Kathleen Turner in 1988's 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'?
"You don't know how hard it is being a woman looking the way I do," she said. Jessica Rabbit is portrayed in the film as a voluptuous Hollywood vamp.

In fourth place was 1942 classic 'Casablanca' with Ingrid Bergman telling Bogart, "Was that cannon fire, or is it my heart pounding?"
Actress Natalie Portman's sharp words in the 'No Strings Attached' earned her the fifth spot. In the film, Portman tells co-star Ashton Kutcher, "You give me premature ventricular contractions, you make my heart skip a beat."
"This is a study of pick-up lines in action and not just any lines but Hollywood's finest. The old lines do seem better � sharper, wittier and snappier," said Louise Thompson of Badoo.
Men had their own favourite female line voting Bette Davis in the 1932 movie 'The Cabin In The Cotton' at the top. In a heavy Southern drawl, Davis says, "I would love to kiss you � but I just washed my hair."
The second most loved line was "Don't worship me till I've earned it." by Shirley MacLaine (Aurora) in 'Terms of Endearment' in 1983.
Bacall features again in the men's list, so do Bergman and Hepburn.
