Lucille Ball and Bob Hope in Critic's Choice (1963)

Quotes

Critic's Choice

Edit
  • John Ballantine: For the record, Sisters Three was written by Angela Ballantine, directed by Dion Kapakos, and produced by mistake.
  • John Ballantine: So, the trouble must be psychosomatic. Nonorganic, therefore psychically motivated.
  • Parker Ballantine: Will you stop talking like a child?
  • Angela Ballantine: Listen to this: Opening night report by Parker Ballentine. I think it's time for all us Transylvanian peasants to pick up our torches and march menacingly up to that castle on the hill because Dr. Frankenstein is making monsters again.
  • Charlotte Orr aka Charlie: Marge, get me a drink.
  • Angela Ballantine: This time, he's attached the arms and legs of 'Agamemnon' to the torso of 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.' S.P. Champlain has lead the creature over to the 46th Street Theater where it stumbled around for a few minutes and fell over dead.
  • Parker Ballantine: Actors can act when they're drunk. Playwrights can playwright when they're drunk, can't they? I say a critic can critic when he's drunk.
  • Parker Ballantine: That's the trouble with this country. Everybody wants to be a writer. Nobody wants to be a plumber and there's more money in it.
  • Angela Ballantine: Well, William Shakespeare once wrote a play in five days.
  • Parker Ballantine: Yeah, well, writing a play in five days is nothing. Having it run five days is the trick.
  • Angela Ballantine: You're just a self-satisfied male chauvinist who thinks I should keep my head in a broom closet.
  • Parker Ballantine: Not your head, but this play, yes.
  • Charlotte Orr aka Charlie: You know, it just occurred to me why mothers-in-law are always lecturing and pushing and giving advice to their sons-in-law. It's because we know more, that's why.
  • Ivy London: Oh, I miss you, Parker.
  • Parker Ballantine: I miss you too. On my masochistic days.
  • Ivy London: [to John] But you're getting so big.
  • [to Parker]
  • Ivy London: What have you been feeding him?
  • Parker Ballantine: Oh, we don't feed him. Angie grabs one end, I grab the other, and we pull.
  • Dion Kapakos: I'll be waiting in the car, Angie.
  • Parker Ballantine: If it's a compact, you'll never get your head in.
