William Powell in High Pressure (1932)

Quotes

High Pressure

Edit
  • Gar Evans: I want you to get me a bank president for our treasurer.
  • Jimmy Moore: Now that's tough. Bank presidents have been committing suicide so fast lately there's only a few of them left.
  • Gar Evans: [smells Clifford's hankerchief] Phew! Sweet essence of musk! Say, what are you trying to do, give this place a bad name?
  • Clifford Gray: I've got to dress right.
  • Gar Evans: Yes, but you don't have to smell like and old fluff!
  • Clifford Gray: Oh, no sir!
  • Gar Evans: But he acts so strange.
  • Colonel Ginsburg: Ah, don't let that worry you. All inventors are a little nuts.
  • Mike Donahey: Ah, wait'll you see him in action. In four hours I'll have his eyes open.
  • Colonel Ginsburg: If you do, you'll have to use an automobile jack.
  • Mike Donahey: Didn't I tell you I'd get him on his feet?
  • Colonel Ginsburg: Yeah, but he's still laying down.
  • Mike Donahey: And after this, a nice alcohol rub.
  • Colonel Ginsburg: Yeah, but he won't need the alcohol.
  • Mike Donahey: In four hours, he'll be listening to you. You see, Mr. Ginsburg. All he needed was a little shower.
  • Colonel Ginsburg: Uh, a little show? What he needs is a couple of cloud bursts.
  • Mike Donahey: He's not drunk - he moved. Just look at him.
  • Colonel Ginsburg: What is there to look at? Does he sleep standing up?
  • Geoffrey Weston: Can you tell me where the Dynamic Personality Class is?
  • Helen Wilson: [Pointing to a stream of men entering a conference room] It must be in there.
  • Colonel Ginsburg: Trying to find a needle in a haystack is nothing compared to trying to find a goy in a gin joint.
