David Flirts With a Stranger, Explained：could've sworn
It's a meet-cute with the joke turned on the man. He's sure he knows her — "I could've sworn I knew every pretty girl on the North Shore" — and she lets him guess, enjoying it. Only when the car stops at his own driveway does he learn his flirty stranger is the chauffeur's daughter.
あらすじ
Sabrina comes home from Paris and steps off the train in Glen Cove, where a smooth-talking stranger offers her a taxi, then a lift. He doesn't recognize her and keeps trying to place her face. She won't give her name because she's having too much fun. They discover they're neighbors — and he's David Larrabee.

What's really going on
The scene runs on a joke of recognition. David is the one who has seen Sabrina all his life, and now he can't place her at all — "I know I've seen that face before." She, meanwhile, knows exactly who he is and chooses not to say. The flirting is real, but the power sits with Sabrina: she's the one with the secret, and she's enjoying it. The small talk about her father being "in transportation" is a private joke, since Thomas Fairchild is the family chauffeur and David is rattling off car companies as if he's guessing a stranger's trade. The payoff is domestic: the ride ends at his own driveway, and the cry of "Sabrina!" resets the whole scene.

Positive. I'm having much too much fun.She refuses to give her name because the guessing game is more fun than the answer. "Positive" here means absolutely sure, not cheerful.
Are you sure you don't want to tell me your name?He makes one more try at learning her name, and she still won't budge — the whole flirtation depends on her staying unknown.
Well, I wouldn't have recognised you anyway.When her identity is finally revealed, David saves face by saying he wouldn't have recognized her anyway — the polite version of losing.
このシーンについての質問
Why doesn't David recognize Sabrina?
She's been in Paris for years and has come back transformed. David knew her as the chauffeur's daughter, so the polished woman at the station doesn't match the girl he remembers.
Why won't Sabrina tell David her name?
Because she's enjoying not being known. For once the man she's adored isn't seeing the chauffeur's daughter — he's just flirting with a stranger, and she wants to keep it that way.
What is the joke about Sabrina's father being in transportation?
Her father really is 'in transportation' — he's the Larrabees' chauffeur. David, guessing blindly, rattles off railroads, planes, boats, and car makers without ever landing on the truth.
How does David finally learn who she is?
The car pulls into his own driveway, and the household staff greets her by name — "Sabrina!" The neighbour he'd been flirting with is the girl who lives on his own property.
Who is the man at the station?
David Larrabee, the younger Larrabee son. Sabrina has been in love with him for years, which is why the scene's irony lands: he hits on her without recognizing her.
