Quotes11

  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: There are only two kinds of men: those who admit they like women, and liars.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: All I want is my 6950 francs.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: 6900 francs?
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: And 50. There's no reason now why I should pay for a nightgown.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: 6950 francs? What kind of a nightgown was this?
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Very thin.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: What were you doin' in a lingerie shop?
  • Julia Packett: I was buying a negligee.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: And a nightgown.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: What did you need a nightgown for?
  • Julia Packett: I didn't need a nightgown! I never wear nightgowns!
  • [pause]
  • Julia Packett: I wear pajamas.
  • William Sylvester Packett: Julia can explain everything. Come on and sit down and tell 'em dear.
  • Julia Packett: Well, of course.
  • William Sylvester Packett: Come on.
  • Julia Packett: You know, sometimes the uh, the most complicated thing has the... the simplest explanation, and then after the explanation, why the complicated thing becomes a very simple thing.
  • William Sylvester Packett: Yeah, yeah, sure. I told you she could explain it.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Yeah, a little clearer explanation'd be most welcome to me.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: You mean you didn't know her and you talked to her?
  • Julia Packett: Well he talked to me just as much as I did to him.
  • William Sylvester Packett: Don't be stuffy, Fred. She talks to strange men all over the world.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: Well, I don't like it and I never will.
  • Julia Packett: Oh, Freddy, in a casino everybody talks to everybody else.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: Casino? You were gamblin'?
  • Julia Packett: Oh, well, just a few francs. You couldn't exactly call it gambling.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Yes, and after she'd lost every franc of her own...
  • Fred Ghenoccio: Lost ever franc?
  • William Sylvester Packett: She loves roulette, Fred. Now, if she ever gets blue, give her a few thousand francs and send her off to the nearest casino. It's, uh, better than a new hat.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Yes, yes. Well, I'm not concerned with your financial arrangements, but mine.
  • Julia Packett: Leave me your address and I'll send you the money you gave me.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: You took money from a strange man?
  • Julia Packett: Not... not a... not exactly.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: Well, you either took money or you didn't.
  • William Sylvester Packett: Freddy, think nothing of it. To Julia, money's of no importance. As fast as she gets it, she tosses it away. That's her charm.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: Well, it don't charm me.
  • William Sylvester Packett: I'm sure, sir, she would have repaid you immediately; but, well, she probably lost it just as fast as you gave it to her.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: But I didn't give her money in the casino. I gave it to her in the lingerie shop.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: The lingerie shop? What were you doing in a lingerie shop?
  • Julia Packett: Freddy, I'll explain all of this to you later.
  • William Sylvester Packett: If you will just give her time enough, Julia can explain anything.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Yes, well, it's taken me two days to find her and hear her explanation now.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: What were you doing in a lingerie shop?
  • Julia Packett: I was buying a negligee.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: And a nightgown.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: What did you need a nightgown for?
  • Julia Packett: I didn't need a nightgown. I never wear a nightgown. I... I wear pajamas.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Yes, well the man who brought her here ran away with all her clothes.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: A man brought you here? Another man?
  • Julia Packett: Freddy, believe me, there was nothing to the whole thing.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: A man brought you to this city and to you that's nothing.
  • Julia Packett: Oh, Freddy, you got me so upset I don't now what I'm saying.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Well, all I want is my 6950 francs.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: 6900 francs?
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: And 50. There's no reason now why I should pay for her nightgown.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: 6900 and 50 francs? What kind of a nightgown was this?
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Very thin.
  • William Sylvester Packett: Oh, I don't believe a word of it. As well as I know Julia, I still do not believe a word of it.
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Well, I've got a hundred witnesses who saw her flirt with me in the casino, pick me up in the bar, lure me into a lingerie shop, and then sneak out the back entrance.
  • William Sylvester Packett: You cad!
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: What, sir?
  • William Sylvester Packett: Are you sure you didn't say something or suggest something that might have offended her?
  • Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook: Suggest something? When she told me she got nowhere to sleep, I offered her my hotel suite.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: Your hotel suite?
  • Julia Packett: I wasn't going there, Freddy. That's why I was going out the back door.
  • Fred Ghenoccio: Suppose there had been no back door?
  • William Sylvester Packett: Freddy, all shops have a back door.
