Quotes3

  • Frank Burton Cheyne: Elliot, I'm going to be a father again.
  • Elliott: Good Heavens, Mr. Cheyne.
  • Frank Burton Cheyne: No, no no Elliot... just that it seems that smart little boys from so-called wealthy well-bred parents don't grow up very successfully by themselves.
  • Harvey: But, there's no fishing out there, is there?
  • Frank Burton Cheyne: The best trout fishing in the world! And if I do say it myself, I can teach you to cast a fly wherever you want to put one.
  • Dan Troop: I read about that kind of fishing, once, in a magazine. Manuel said that any fish that ate a bug was some kind of a frog.
  • [first lines]
  • Burns: [to the maid as he adjusts her tray] There'll be none of that. No trays.
  • Dr. Finley: [hurriedly relaying highlighted news updates to Mr. Cheyne as he wolfs down breakfast] The Star Telegram has you quoted quite definitely: 'before departing by plane for New York, Mr. Cheyne stated that the new equipment is to be provided by the present bond issue.' The other papers have virtually the same.
  • Frank Burton Cheyne: What do the confidentials say?
  • Dr. Finley: Tuesday morning, Paris wires: the president will probably sign the batamant mining bill today. Then Wikes London Cable says conservatives will probably sign the new air program. Tokyo: Mr. Gordon's condition excellent; appendix have not burst. Our property lost in fire to not more than $15,000.
  • Burns: 8:45 Mr. Cheyne.
