Quotes1

  • Lottie Lacey: Norma Talmadge, Norma Talmadge. That's all I hear, is Norma Talmadge. I don't know what you see in her anyway. Besides, she's Catholic.
  • Morris Lacey: You've just got a bug about the Catholics, honey.
  • Lottie Lacey: Oh, I have? Well, maybe you'd like to marry Norma Talmadge someday and then let the Pope tell you what to do the rest of your life. Making you swear to leave all your money to the Church, and to bring up all your children Catholic, and then join the Knights of Columbus, and take an oath to go out and kill off all the nice Protestant women, when the day comes for the Catholics to take over the world.
  • Morris Lacey: Lottie, where do you pick up these ideas?
  • Lottie Lacey: It's the truth! Marietta Flagmeyer has this very close friend who told her that the Catholics keep the basements of their churches filled with guns and all kinds of ammunition,
  • Morris Lacey: Oh, now Lottie...
  • Lottie Lacey: ... because someday they plan to rise and take over the world, and kill off all the rest of us who don't want to be Catholics!
