Quotes9

  • Jeremiah MacDonald: [Holding up his bottle and glass] Root beer!
  • Demetrios Bacos: How's that?
  • Kathryn Ward: Man is trying to get off ginger ale. He's having withdrawal symptoms.
  • Russell 'Russ' Ward: Has Mac been telling you about the play?
  • Demetrios Bacos: He's been insulting me.
  • Demetrios Bacos: They tell me you play tennis, golf, ride horseback. Maybe you come see my heart specialist.
  • Russell 'Russ' Ward: I've seen him. He looks terrible.
  • Ellie Brown: Many a time I've stood hours in line to get into a Bacos theater.
  • Demetrios Bacos: Now you wouldn't have so long to wait.
  • Russell 'Russ' Ward: Business slow?
  • Demetrios Bacos: Popcorn's holding up.
  • Jeremiah MacDonald: Did you ever stop to think what you owe the American Indian for inventing corn?
  • Kathryn Ward: [Handing Russ a drink] And I always thought you invented it, dear.
  • Demetrios Bacos: I'm aware of my debt to the Indian, and I get very sentimental. When I book cowboy shows where they're shooting Indians in cold blood, I always look the other way.
  • Jeremiah MacDonald: Toward the ticket booth!
  • Russell 'Russ' Ward: You shouldn't be in any trouble, Demetrios, with all those movies you sold to television.
  • Demetrios Bacos: For peanuts. I sold out to the enemy.
  • Demetrios Bacos: I'm a typical ordinary American.
  • Jeremiah MacDonald: More like Jesse James
  • Kathryn Ward: [after the maid carries a large birthday cake with many lit candles to the table] I didn't tell anyone, darling, because I know you wouldn't want to embarrass them into bringing expensive gifts.
  • Jeremiah MacDonald: Looks like the Chicago fire.
  • Demetrios Bacos: [as Ellie looks quizzically at all the candles] There must be a hundred candles on it.
  • Kathryn Ward: Now, Demi, don't be ridiculous. There are only 51.
  • [She look at Russ]
  • Kathryn Ward: Sorry, dear, that's all we had.
