Quotes14

  • Mabel: I'm surprised at you Patsy, tearin' up poems! Gee, there must be an unrefined streak in you, somewheres.
  • Mabel: [after hocking her dress] I've taken off more clothes for the horses than I ever did for the Shuberts.
  • Charlie: How'd you do Mabel?
  • Mabel: Not so good at all, when you think that I hocked every stitch I own, except this dress I have on. I kept it not because it was so good. But, because I thought I'd be a little conspicuous comin' home without it, you know.
  • Patsy: Listen to this: "Why was it that I chose to roam? Cross land and sea, so far from home. If that be life, my mutter dear, I send this card, of love and cheer. Mutter's Day, number 37." That touches ya, ya know that. Right here.
  • Mabel: Yeah. Like seein' a good, sad movie, ain't it. Gee.
  • Patsy: You know, this Erwin guy ain't bein' appreciated.
  • Patsy: Erwin, this is the little woman!
  • Erwin Trowbridge: How do you do? Miss...
  • Mabel: Just call me Mabel, Erwin. Any friend of Patsy's is a friend of mine.
  • Patsy: I've often suspected that.
  • Mabel: Let me think! I know I ain't got the brains for it; but, you'd be surprised what I can do with materials at hand.
  • Harry, the Bartender: Well, what's the matter with him?
  • Mabel: I don't know, but he's the most relaxed son-of-a-gun I ever saw. Maybe we should give him another drink?
  • Harry, the Bartender: What do you want to do - embalm him?
  • Mabel: You want to see it? You want to see it?
  • Erwin Trowbridge: Well, eh, yes.
  • Mabel: Say, I'd do anything for you. Cause I'm just *crazy* about poetry! That's why. I got to get limbered up, though. Now, here we go.
  • Patsy: Say, what is this?
  • Erwin Trowbridge: She's dizzy.
  • Mabel: I'm dizzy, Patsy.
  • Patsy: You must be to try and double-cross me. Get back to your room before I kick your teeth in!
  • Patsy: Get back to your room before I do something a jury will hear about!
  • Mabel: Gee, Patsy, I didn't think you'd ever talk to me like this.
  • Patsy: You take a powder before I stop talkin' and start doin' somethin'!
  • Mabel: [referring to Erwin's house] Gee! I'd love to live in a place like this. So quiet and nobody around.
  • Frankie: Yeh, I bet not even a hermit comes out this far. It must be dandy in the winter too with the wind whistling through the For Sale signs.
  • Patsy: Listen, baby. You've made the last trip to that joint.
  • Mabel: Yeah. That's right, ain't it. Ain't got nothin' more to hock except the picture of Mama when she was a strip girl in burlesque.
  • Patsy: Sugar, by tonight, you and me will be doin' it right in the most expensive joints in town.
  • Patsy: I don't care what you do to keep him here - up to a certain point.
  • Mabel: You bet.
  • Patsy: There you are, pal. I had it made up special.
  • [hands Erwin a tie]
  • Erwin Trowbridge: I thought perhaps you did. Maybe I better take one of your less expensive ones.
  • Patsy: Put it on! Put it on! It tones you up a bit.
  • Mabel: Yeah, like a Calliope!
