Quotes6

  • James 'Jimmy' Dooley: And hold your head high in front of the heathens.
  • James 'Jimmy' Dooley: My name's James Dooley, at your service, sir. Twenty years a resident of this island paradise. A poor white man debauched by the tropics. You saw me fat native wife and seven of our delicious little daughters and their female cousins, eh?
  • Abner 'Ab' Bedford: Yes, we met a couple of 'em.
  • James 'Jimmy' Dooley: Ah, charmin' girls. Charmin' girls! Me wife provides me with food and they pick up good Yankee dollars from passin' tourists. Over in the Happar Valley, I have another fat native wife and her brood of lovely daughters and their female cousins. And for the sake of peace with the Typees, I have a fat native wife in their sacred village. So that sort of, well, sort of makes me one of 'em.
  • Abner 'Ab' Bedford: What's your proposition?
  • James 'Jimmy' Dooley: Ah, that's it! Comin' straight to the point. No time wasted in hanky panky.
  • James 'Jimmy' Dooley: I suppose it was just to put up with the absurd notion that - that virtue is it's own reward.
  • James 'Jimmy' Dooley: I suppose you've wondered about Fayaway's Irish blue eyes?
  • James 'Jimmy' Dooley: Oh, there you are my fine fugitive. I've been hearin' about you. So, you married the girl. She looks good now. But, in ten years time, she - she'll be fatter than mine. Nah, they don't hold up, do they? As for you, in ten years time, if you're alive that is, you'll be nothin' but a drunken squaw man.
