Lorry Evans
- Mrs. Webster - Head Prison Matron: As Head Matron of his Institution, in all my experience, I have never come...
- Lorry Evans: Save your wind, save your wind, you might want to go sailing sometime.
- [to prison official during release from prison]
- Lorry Evans: This is a very nice institution you have here Miss Muncie, but you do cater to a rather low class.
- Dan: Oh, I got another treat for ya.
- Lorry Evans: What is it?
- [Dan slowly closes the door, puts a bowl on the table, pours water in it, takes a hand towel and displays both sides like a magician before tucking it in as a bib, picks up his shaving supplies and starts lathering his face]
- Lorry Evans: Say... what is this treat?
- Dan: I'm gonna let you watch me shave.
- Lorry Evans: You're too good to me.
- Dan: Any woman who can get me to shave more than twice a week must have something.
- Lorry Evans: Minnie!
- [spotting Minnie's wedding ring]
- Minnie: I had to give in sometime, you see the hips was gettin' away from me. You know, I can't stand obesity.
- Lorry Evans: You can't stand what?
- Minnie: Let it go.
- Alice - Dan's Shipboard Cook: Anything mo', boss?
- Dan: How 'bout some more catfish?
- Lorry Evans: No thanks. I've had so much now I'm about ready to meow.
- Dan: All right, Alice, you can take it away.
- Alice - Dan's Shipboard Cook: She ain't got half the appetite of some of yer other gals had.
- Dan: The conversation's more interesting when you keep your mouth shut.
- Lorry Evans: I'm kinda sorry I pushed you overboard this afternoon.
- Dan: Nah, it's all right. I like a woman with some spunk. Only don't make a habit of it.
- Lorry Evans: How good are you at walkin' on water?
- Minnie: Oh, just fair, but I could do a lot of thinkin' on gin if I knew where to get some.
- [Minnie enters room and spots liquor bottle not knowing that it's empty]
- Minnie: Ah, there you are sweetheart.
- [to liquor bottle]
- Lorry Evans: Say, if you want any more you'll have to wring it out of him to get it.
- [motions to her drunk companion]
- Minnie: He looks wrung out now... why didn't he eat the bottle?
- Minnie: You don't look so bad yourself for a corpse.
- Lorry Evans: A corpse!
- Minnie: You were supposed to be drowned and you don't even look damp.
- Lorry Evans: Well, I got myself resurrected.
- Minnie: Well, you done a good job while you was at it.
- [looking around at Lorry's opulent apartment]
- Minnie: Does he own the mint?
- Lorry Evans: No, but he's got an option on it.
- Lorry Evans: How come I rate all this attention?
- Minnie: You're gonna have a good time tonight if I have to bust out in a rash.
- Father Doran: Are you sure there won't be any regrets later?
- Lorry Evans: Not with me. I can take my regrets and leave 'em alone.
- Minnie: I just made all arrangements to get drove down to the boat. Oh, are you a good chauffeur?
- Lorry Evans: What's the matter with the boyfriend? Paralyzed?
- Minnie: Oh, he wants me to help him check up on his groceries.
- Minnie: He's a big cotton man.
- Lorry Evans: Yeah? He looks perfectly normal to me.
- Salesman Ogelthorpe: You're some kidder.
- Lorry Evans: Have you got a lot of cotton ranches or does it grow on animals?
- Stephen Paige: You say you're with...
- Lorry Evans: The American Newspaper Syndicate. We're running a series of articles on successful businessmen, you know, captains of industry, lawyers, bankers...
- Stephen Paige: Aren't you rather young for this sort of thing?
- Lorry Evans: Well, I'm not very long out of - convent.
- Stephen Paige: I rather expected a fat, frumpy sort of woman. They usually are.
- Lorry Evans: Hello. Never expected to see me again, did you?
- Dan: Well, I sort of thought I might.
- Lorry Evans: Thought my conscience would bring me back?
- Dan: I didn't count very much on your conscience.
- Lorry Evans: Well, I'm sort of a governess.
- Dan: Governess, huh? Who do you govern?
- Lorry Evans: Oh, the offspring of a old Southern family.
- Dan: What do you do? Teach them good manners?
- Lorry Evans: Not so far.
- Lorry Evans: I bet you've never even had your arms around a girl.
- Dan: Oh, yes I have. Part-way. She was a fat girl.
- Lorry Evans: Oh. Try puttin' your arms around me. See how I feel.
- Lorry Evans: Scared of me, aren't you?
- Dan: Certainly.
- Lorry Evans: Why?
- Dan: Because you're the kind of a woman that goes around pushing people off of boats.
- Lorry Evans: Scared of all women?
- Dan: Only those I've met.
- Dan: That one up there is Venus. If your in a fast plane, traveling at top speed, it'll take you 50 years to get there.
- Lorry Evans: I'd be too old to enjoy myself. What other trips have ya got?
- Dan: Well, if you just want to go on a short trip, you could run up to the moon.
- Lorry Evans: How long would that take?
- Dan: Probably make it in about 166 days.
- Lorry Evans: You. know too much for your own good.
- Dan: Oh, I ain't even started yet. You see that one over there?
- Lorry Evans: Oh, let's just look at 'em.
