Quotes11

  • Dr. Sporum: Never let it be said that a Sporum ever refused the request of a Ginglebusher.
  • Luisa: Well, I mean, I suppose everybody really wants to do something for somebody naturally, because it makes you feel good, and all happy in your heart, and... well, I suppose everybody naturally wants to feel that way, don't you think?
  • Dr. Sporum: I believe one could say that with safety.
  • Luisa: [Talking about Max buying a car] All right then, it's gotta be pink.
  • Dr. Sporum: Pink?
  • Luisa: Of course it has. You can't take that beard around with a black car. Why, you'll frighten the children.
  • Dr. Sporum: You oughta be spanked.
  • Dr. Sporum: You are the good fairy. You flew into my life and changed everything.
  • Luisa: No, you're the good fairy who changed my life.
  • Detlaff, the Waiter: No, no, no! As a matter of fact, I'm entirely responsible.
  • Konrad: If you say it was you, I'll punch you right in the eye. If there's any good fairy around here, it's me.
  • Luisa: Oh, my name is Luisa.
  • Dr. Sporum: Luisa?
  • Luisa: Ginglebusher.
  • Dr. Sporum: Gingle what?
  • Luisa: Busher.
  • Dr. Sporum: Oh, yes, and you need to see me about...
  • Luisa: No, I just wanted to see what you look like.
  • Dr. Sporum: Uh huh. And how do I look?
  • Luisa: [Smiling] Terrible, heh, heh
  • Dr. Sporum: Really?
  • Luisa: You look just the way Ginglebusher sounds.
  • Dr. Sporum: Oh, then I can't look so terrible. Will you sit down?
  • Dr. Sporum: But if I had a name like Ginglebusher, I should certainly use no other.
  • Luisa: If I had a beard like that... I certainly wouldn't make fun of Ginglebusher.
  • Dr. Sporum: That, I think , concludes the legal business.
  • Dr. Sporum: I'm not a child, you know.
  • Konrad: No. Nobody could mistake you for one.
  • Konrad: [after Max mentions a specific court case] I always wanted to congratulate you on winning it.
  • Dr. Sporum: But I lost it.
  • Konrad: Oh, you, uh, uh, of course, that's it... . but so cleverly. So very cleverly, doctor. Sometimes it's better to lose a case cleverly than to win it stupidly. That's what we admired.
  • Dr. Sporum: Did you know there's an ice box that actually makes it's own ice?
  • Luisa: Noooo!
  • Dr. Sporum: And with gas.
  • Luisa: I don't believe it.
  • Dr. Sporum: I didn't either, but I read about it and I might even buy one.
  • Dr. Sporum: Mink coats and diamond bracelets - what's he take me for? I'm gong to buy a pencil sharpener... with a handle, and different size holes, at last.
  • Luisa: And I certainly wouldn't wear a beard either.
  • Dr. Sporum: What?
  • Luisa: Well, I wouldn't.
  • Dr. Sporum: Oh, you wouldn't?
  • Luisa: I know it isn't any of my business, but if I didn't have anything to hide, I certainly wouldn't wear a beard.
