Quotes15

  • Mary Marlowe: John, what are you doing here?
  • John Carlton: Do you expect me to stand outside windows, all my life, watching British lords make love to you?
  • Mary Marlowe: I couldn't help it.
  • John Carlton: You can't go in that dress.
  • Mary Marlowe: What? Oh, no.
  • John Carlton: You'll have to change.
  • Mary Marlowe: Change?
  • John Carlton: Yes. Come on. Quick.
  • Mary Marlowe: Now?
  • John Carlton: Yes. I'll help you. Hold on. Hurry. Hurry now. What do you keep in here?
  • Mary Marlowe: My clothes.
  • John Carlton: Well, here, come on, lets - take it off, now!
  • Mary Marlowe: Oh, John.
  • John Carlton: Come on. Come on. Here. Let me help.
  • Mary Marlowe: Here?
  • John Carlton: Let me help.
  • Mary Marlowe: Now?
  • John Carlton: Yes, certainly. Where? Where does this thing open?
  • Mary Marlowe: No, not there. In the back.
  • John Carlton: Hold on then.
  • Mary Marlowe: Oh, John.
  • John Carlton: Don't worry. You'll get used to the idea. I'm the only kind of maid you're going to have for a long time, Mary.
  • John Carlton: Confound these hooks and things. Come on. Hurry.
  • [removing layers of Mary's petticoats]
  • John Carlton: Well, how many more?
  • Mary Marlowe: Oh, ouch, John!
  • John Carlton: Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'm not very - expert at this. You see, it's the first time I've ever undressed a girl.
  • Mary Marlowe: Is it, John?
  • Mary Carlton: We're the children now John.
  • John Carlton: I know. Second childhood, eh?
  • Mary Carlton: They're the parents. They - order us around.
  • John Carlton: Don't I know it! Got to be in bed at nine o'clock every night.
  • Mary Carlton: And can't stay up for the second show of the movies.
  • John Carlton: Only allowed two cigars a day.
  • Mary Carlton: And you can't have your little nip!
  • John Carlton: Madam, your parents once frightened me; but, your children terrify me.
  • John Carlton: I fell off my bicycle.
  • Mr. William Marlowe: By Jove. By Jove, a very dangerous invention. Man was not meant to propel himself by machinery.
  • John Carlton: What I want, I mean to take. I want you, so, I'm taking you.
  • John Carlton: Well, there you, Mrs. Carlton. There's our new home.
  • Mary Carlton: It's perfect! Just like the Garden of Eden.
  • John Carlton: Well, they're plenty of snakes, I'm afraid; but, no apples. Never mind, we'll plant some.
  • Mary Carlton: Yes, dear.
  • John Carlton: Where are you going with my cattle?
  • Jake Houser: Well, now, ain't this a surprise.
  • John Carlton: More than that, it's an apprehension.
  • Jake Houser: Not knowin' what that means, can't say you're lyin'. But, I hope it ain't what I think!
  • Mary Carlton: Give me my surprise.
  • John Carlton: What surprise?
  • Mary Carlton: Now, John, don't tease.
  • Mary Carlton: Didn't I hear you say the only way you ranchers could deal with these cattle thieves was to - take the law into your own hands?
  • John Carlton: Did I ever say anything like that?
  • Mary Carlton: Well, I thought you did.
  • Susan Channing: It's poor mother I'm thinking of. All her life it's been father calling, "Mary, do this. Mary, do that. Mary, come here, I want you."
  • Mary Carlton: Susan, I didn't mind that at all. I *liked* hearing it. It's not such a bad thing for a woman to hear from her husband.
  • John Carlton: Bravo, Madam.
  • John Carlton: Look at that! A one-armed driver out with his girl. Whippersnapper!
  • John Carlton: Are you nervous when I drive fast, Madam?
  • Mary Carlton: Yes, John. Eh-eh, no, John! No, no, in deed!
  • [last lines]
  • John Carlton: Remember?
  • Mary Carlton: Yes.
  • John Carlton: [jokingly] Mary Carlton, you're a scheming minx!
