Ronald Colman and Fay Wray in The Unholy Garden (1931)

Quotes

The Unholy Garden

Edit
  • Barrington Hunt: Did you get that car?
  • Arab: Impossible.
  • Barrington Hunt: It's not impossible! Do you expect me to go on a camel? Now you keep on looking until you come back with a car. A car - do you understand? Four wheels. One on each corner. A motor in the front to make it go.
  • Barrington Hunt: See who that is.
  • Arab: Madame Mowbray.
  • Barrington Hunt: Mowbray?
  • Arab: Very kind lady, sir. She will help you pass the time, very pleasantly - waiting for car.
  • Eliza Mowbray: I thought you might be lonely.
  • Barrington Hunt: Well, I'm not lonely now.
  • Eliza Mowbray: Tell me, are you really a bank robber? You don't seem that.
  • Barrington Hunt: Worst, my dear, I'm a fool.
  • Eliza Mowbray: You don't seem that either. Do you like me?
  • Barrington Hunt: Aw, you're ravishing.
  • Kid Twist: A banker, huh? I always knew there was something queer about him.
  • Barrington Hunt: You can't get your hands on 10 million francs like stealing milk bottles or door mats. Its a special technique. Which I've given years of experience. Eh, Smiley?
  • Smiley Corbin: Wait'll you see him work! He'll come back with the old man's underwear.
  • Smiley Corbin: I've seen this lad in action. Why, dames go for him like flies!
  • Barrington Hunt: Hello. Well, now. Rather elegant.
  • Eliza Mowbray: I was having a little trouble hooking it up and I thought you might help.
  • Barrington Hunt: You know this hasn't happened to me since I was 15 and comparatively innocent.
  • [Goes to fix Eliza's dress]
  • Eliza Mowbray: Be careful.
  • Barrington Hunt: My dear, you have nothing to fear.
  • Eliza Mowbray: That isn't quite what I meant.
  • Barrington Hunt: Really, aren't you being a little old fashioned? You know, this trick goes back to the 90s.
  • Eliza Mowbray: Trick?
  • Barrington Hunt: You never came in here to get your dress fastened, did you?
  • Eliza Mowbray: No. But, you've left me so alone these past four days that - I got rather desperate.
  • Barrington Hunt: My virtue amazes me.
  • Eliza Mowbray: It's quite horrifying.
  • Camille de Jonghe: Is she your wife?
  • Barrington Hunt: No. No, there's nothing either legal or illegal between us.
  • Barrington Hunt: I have a similar delusion at this moment. I feel quite innocent. It must be the desert air - and those eyes of yours.
  • Kid Twist: I followed them to the mosque.
  • Nick the Goose: The mosque? That's a very foolish place to take a dame. You can't even sit down!
  • Dr. Shayne: How did they seem, huh? Affectionate? Clinging?
  • Kid Twist: Oh, he was recitin' poetry.
  • Nick the Goose: What kind - poetry? Limericks?
  • Kid Twist: No, the other kind.
  • Col. Lautrac: Be careful. He's a dangerous man.
  • Eliza Mowbray: in more ways than one.
  • Kid Twist: I got a good notion to lay one on your bugle.
  • Barrington Hunt: Oh, business before pleasure, my friend.
  • Col. von Axt: How long do you think it will take you to win her esteem?
  • Barrington Hunt: Depends on physiology and the moonlight. A fortnight, if we have good weather.
  • Kid Twist: He kinda hates himself.
  • Barrington Hunt: Not at all! No, I'm not depending wholly on my own talents. After all, the poor girl's been living in a zoo. I shall be quite a novelty.
  • Barrington Hunt: [to Camille] Would you care to hear some poetry? It's rather a good place to recite. "Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! Bird thou never wert." You know, this is rather pleasant being here with you.
  • Barrington Hunt: By the way, what did you think of the ode "To a Skylark"? Powerful thing, isn't it?
  • Kid Twist: If you know what's good for you, you won't pull any odes on me, fella!
  • Kid Twist: Listen, we want the facts, see.
  • Nick the Goose: Did you ask about the money?
  • Barrington Hunt: My dear sir, who is conducting this courtship, you or I? Tomorrow I shall switch from Shelly to Byron, work my way slowly eastward through the Oriental poets. On Tuesday, if there's a moon, I shall plunge deep into Roman mythology. I trust, gentlemen, that meets with your approval?
  • Eliza Mowbray: Oh, this heat. Dreadful, monotonous heat.
  • Smiley Corbin: Maybe you got too much on, huh?
  • Eliza Mowbray: Christmas in the desert always makes me sad.
  • Smiley Corbin: Oh, what have you got to be sad about? I'm with ya.
  • Smiley Corbin: Listen. This is in pure confidence. The boss is on a job that's gonna make us all rich!
  • Eliza Mowbray: Really? Where's he gonna get any money around here?
  • Smiley Corbin: You know this old blind man upstairs? The Baron de Jonghe? We just found out he's sittin' on a barrel of jack!
  • Eliza Mowbray: Oh, don't sit so far away. Come over here. Closer. Now, tell me everything.
  • Smiley Corbin: Oh, baby!
  • Dr. Shayne: Have another drink, darling.
  • Eliza Mowbray: Fill it up, darling. Put a little poison in it if you want to. Be sure to make it tasteless though. I have a very sensitive stomach.
  • Nick the Goose: That is no way to talk, Eliz.
  • Eliza Mowbray: Listen to the fella. I'll talk as I please and do as I want. Well, here's to Santa Claus!
  • Camille de Jonghe: How can all those things be boring?
  • Barrington Hunt: Did you ever eat too much?
  • Camille de Jonghe: Yes.
  • Barrington Hunt: Well, one can live too much.
  • Camille de Jonghe: What's the matter?
  • Barrington Hunt: I was thinking of London. A very pleasant hour in London preparing for a yuletide. Snow blowing. Great logs, crackling in the hearth. Surrounded by ones loved ones. Ah, decency has its moments.
  • Camille de Jonghe: When you go away, I'll remember how nice you were. I won't mind what comes afterwards, so much. The other - you see, I'm not afraid. I know what's coming. It's just that I wanted it to begin, nicer than it will end.
  • Barrington Hunt: Don't you see, I've done so many stupid things. So many rotten things. Let me do something decent. Just this once. Love me like that.
  • Eliza Mowbray: I'm not so awful, am I?
  • Barrington Hunt: No, you're charming.
  • Barrington Hunt: You look terribly tempting, my dear. But, I'm sorry, I've an important engagement. Thanks for the kiss.
  • Eliza Mowbray: I'll tear his eyes out if I ever see him again - the rotter!
  • Camille de Jonghe: You killed him! You made love to me with murder in your heart!
  • Smiley Corbin: Where's the dough? What did you do with the millions?
  • Barrington Hunt: I'm sorry. I - I met a dame.
