Ricardo Cortez and Loretta Young in Big Business Girl (1931)

Quotes

Big Business Girl

Edit
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: Honestly, Johnny, you're only good for two things: making music and making love.
  • Robert Clayton: How do you feel?
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: Good and low. Low enough to put on a plug hat and walk right under a duck.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: Don't you like working?
  • Sally Curtin: Well, it's alright, but... well, it takes more than a successful business career to keep a girl warm on winter nights.
  • Robert Clayton: [after dinner party for a client] What an orgy! I'm certainly glad they're gone.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: I'll get a taxi - and exit laughing before you begin thinking that way about me.
  • Johnny Saunders: Oh, this is a heck of a world. Why should people have to work? When there's so many pleasant ways to kill time. Now, this for instance.
  • [embraces Claire and lays her down on the grass]
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: I owe a couple of thousand. I've gone to college like a lady. I've had the best clothes, the best rooms, the best everything. And all on borrowed money; instead of working my way through like I should have. Well, jolly times are over. Now, I go to work and pay the piper.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: I'm going to do it or bust a lung in the attempt.
  • Robert Clayton: Even if this piece of copy wasn't excellent, she's worth 125 a week as an office decoration. A girl with a chassis like that can be a half-wit and get by.
  • Johnny Saunders: I've decided not to go to Paris unless you come with me. I wouldn't stay away from you all Summer for the best job ever invented.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: The back of your neck feels just like a teddy bear I used to take to bed with me.
  • Robert Clayton: Is it that you're not in the mood or what?
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: Let's say: or what.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: My answer is still no.
  • Robert Clayton: I thought you were a woman of the world.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: No!
  • Johnny Saunders: Hey, where's the fire?
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: Here, powder my back, will you?
  • Johnny Saunders: I'm not so particular about going out to eat. Did anyone ever tell you that the back of your neck was delicious and refreshing?
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: Darn these tight dresses!
  • Walter T. Morley: You're a clever child. And a very pretty one too if anyone should happen to ask.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: Am I?
  • Walter T. Morley: Very.
  • Pearl: I have to battle for the well known old honor; but, I ain't lost a decision yet - if it interest you any.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: Will you stop raving and listen to reason for a minute.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: Everything is peaches down in Georgia.
  • Robert Clayton: You must have some very interesting experiences.
  • Pearl: Oh, sure. My life is just one hotel room after another.
  • Claire 'Mac' McIntyre: I do feel sort of punked and generally fed up with things.
  • Pearl: You better get into your pajamas.
  • Johnny Saunders: Pajamas?
  • Pearl: Well, what do you generally wear? A nightgown?
  • Johnny Saunders: I didn't bring any pajamas.
  • Pearl: Now, will you relax. You give me the willies.
  • Pearl: When I first started in this business, there was a guy, he was a rubber in a Turkish bath. Rubbed me the wrong way.
  • Pearl: Most of 'em are scared silly. I bet you got goose flesh all over you right now.
  • Johnny Saunders: This washes us up, Mac. You can run around with him or anyone you please. As far as I'm concerned, you can bring the whole 7th Regiment up here for necking parties.
  • Pearl: If I'm in my negligee, you're in your pajamas.
  • Johnny Saunders: But, I don't see where...
  • Pearl: We got to make it look real; so, they can't say it was collision.
  • Johnny Saunders: You mean collusion.
  • Pearl: I mean take off them pants and get in them pajamas!
  • Pearl: If you don't get outta here lady, I'll pop you on the kisser.
  • Pearl: Well I'm a drink of dirty water.
  • Pearl: Its the right outfit for the occasion. You don't go swimming in a fur coat, do ya?
  • Johnny Saunders: Oh! I'm beginning to come out of the ether.
  • Pearl: Get a load of this: I don't let birds get fresh with me; but, I ain't gonna have it said that I ain't the type that could be got fresh with.
