Quotes

Pardon My Past

Edit
  • Chuck Gibson: What does a mink do? Does it baaa, growl, meow or coo?
  • Eddie York: It makes more minks.
  • Eddie York: Go on, get him a hat? Why don't you try to be nice to the customers?
  • Clothes Salesman: I've been nice to customers for 22 years. Now I don't have to 'til the war's over.
  • Chuck Gibson: Say, what does the Army want to give you pockets for, if you can't put anything in 'em?
  • Grandpa Pemberton: Yeah, it's you all right. The same worthless, scalawag... wine, women and song. What'd they do, run you out down there?
  • Jim Arnold: Mark Twain said, "The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
  • Grandpa Pemberton: Oh, the doctor. That hypocritical old pill peddler. I'll out last him 10 years.
  • Chuck Gibson: We'll call the cops.
  • Mr. Long: Don't use that word. Mr. Arnold doesn't like it.
  • Grandpa Pemberton: Well, cut my ears off and roast 'em over a slow fire.
  • Jim Arnold: I simply cannot bear the idea of live people owing me money.
  • Grandpa Pemberton: Are you sure you're the same poisonous, hock-sniffing scud we had around here 'til he lit out for Mexico?
  • Jim Arnold: Mr. Long, this is one experience I will not forget. All this money and not one sane person in the house.
  • Eddie York: Mr. Arnold, this is robbery.
  • Chuck Gibson: I'll say it is. You pay 5,000 for Shakespeare and only 900 for Dickens. It's ridiculous.
  • Jim Arnold: Is this his signature?
  • Grandpa Pemberton: Yes, that's his. When you going to beat him up?
