Quotes8

  • John Prentice: A jury in doubt is a jury in the bag.
  • Amy Drexel: How do you get in such a mess with a creature like that?
  • John Prentice: Vanity. Someone to tell you have big and wonderful you are.
  • John Prentice: Well, this is certainly good for the tummy.
  • Dorothy Prentice: I don't see why I have to do this exercise. My tummy is much flatter than Daddy's.
  • John Prentice: Well, am I insulted. Evelyn are you bringing up this child to have no respect for his father? Why, my tummy is as flat as a pancake.
  • Evelyn Prentice: Not a very thin pancake.
  • John Prentice: That's right! We haven't done the bicycle one yet and we want to do the bicycle one because they have lots of bicycles in Europe!
  • John Prentice: Will you tell me why it is that people always look like convicts on those passport photos?
  • John Prentice: [to Evelyn] Darling, I'll get a nice cocktail. It'll be good for you.
  • [to Amy]
  • John Prentice: Can I bring you one?
  • Amy Drexel: One? Bring up the jug!
  • John Prentice: Do you think she's guilty?
  • Albert - Butler: Well, I'm not so sure, sir.
  • John Prentice: Why?
  • Albert - Butler: She hasn't the look, sir.
  • Charles - Chauffeur: She don't sit for the flashlights, Mr. Prentice. Let's 'em shoot her any ole way with her hair messed and nose shiny.
  • John Prentice: And if she were guilty?
  • Albert - Butler: Well, don't you think, sir, that she would try to gain the favor of the public by looking pretty and soft and innocent like?
  • John Prentice: That's a very shrewd observation, Albert.
  • John Prentice: Less flattery and more cocktails.
