Quotes

Murder in the Private Car

Edit
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Both your eyes are very pretty.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: One swallow doesn't make a summer, nor a drink either.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: What's sauce for the gander is booze for the goose!
  • Georgia Latham: You know this love thing causes so much trouble, you wonder what makes it so popular.
  • Taxi Driver: Say, listen, Mister. I'm tired. Will you please pay me off and let me go?
  • Godfrey D. Scott: No-no-no-no. I like you. There's something refreshing about you. You're a little gasolini, but, refreshing.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: My name is Scott. I believe you know my father
  • Murray: Not Rufus Scott's son?
  • Godfrey D. Scott: The same. Unless the old gentleman has been fooling me.
  • Murray: Oh, I remember. He told me once that you were either a genius in your own special line - or an idiot.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Ha-ha. Well I may be the former and being the former, I may be the latter.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: You see, a detective appears after the crime is committed. A deflector appears before the crime is perpetrated and deflects it. And the deflection is in direct ratio with the animus of the exciting body.
  • Georgia Latham: Oh, none of us know who we are!
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Miss Latham, I can be trusted, up to a certain point.
  • Georgia Latham: That's what Pappy told Mammy.
  • Georgia Latham: I'll call you Godfrey.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Thank you, thank you.
  • Georgia Latham: It'll sound like I'm swearing at you.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Yes. Well, if it will help you any, my middle name is Damrosch.
  • Georgia Latham: Such a fine looking body guard. Oh, I wish somebody like that was guarding my body.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Driver, put up your horse. We're in for the evening.
  • Georgia Latham: Honey, my advice is to get off the train at the next stop, wherever it is. This is the biggest maybe trip I ever took.
  • Ruth: What do you mean maybe trip?
  • Georgia Latham: Well, you're the daughter of a very wealthy man - maybe. Murray is a New York lawyer taking you to meet your father - maybe. Allen is in love with you and trying to protect your interests - maybe. Scott is a nut! Positively! I'm beginning to suspect Blake and, eh, I'm not even so sure of myself!
  • Ruth: I'll see you in the morning.
  • Georgia Latham: Maybe.
  • Georgia Latham: Well, are you with him or is he with you?
  • Godfrey D. Scott: No, we're all together. Couldn't we play a little something?
  • Georgia Latham: Just what would you like to play?
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Well, Post Office? Kiss the Pillow? Puss in the Corner?
  • Georgia Latham: Out, please.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Well, I'm only trying to be sociable.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Can I speak to you?
  • Georgia Latham: [to Ruth] It's the fella to fix the washroom. Tell him about it, will you?
  • Georgia Latham: [speaking on the phone] Allen and Company.
  • Ruth: [speaking on the phone] Just one moment.
  • [to Godfrey]
  • Ruth: It's right over there.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: What's over there?
  • Ruth: The washroom.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Well, thank you, that's very thoughtful of you, but not now. I, uh, there's something far more urgent. I, uh...
  • Georgia Latham: Oh, you're not the plumber.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: Oh, no, I've never plumbed in my life.
  • Taxi Driver: Where to now?
  • Godfrey D. Scott: What day is today?
  • Taxi Driver: Why, it's Thursday.
  • Godfrey D. Scott: My, I thought it was 9 o'clock. How the days do fly.
