Quotes1

  • Link Ferris: How do you like it?
  • Mr. Huggins: It stinks!
  • Fletcher Marvin: Well, that ends the epidemic.
  • Mr. Huggins: Yes, and it ends your jobs unless a miracle happens. If you don't know what's the matter with Kitty Farmer, I'll tell you. You don't know her anymore. She's phoney, she's fakey, she's counterfeit.
  • Oscar Elkins: Mr. Huggins thinks that Kitty should be more simple. More human.
  • Mr. Mason: More down to earth. Real. More heart
  • Mr. Huggins: In the past few weeks, she has been chased by Nazi spies, she lept out of a balloon, put out a forest fire singlehanded and swam Lake Erie. Good jumpin' Jeremiah! With all the thngs you've done to that poor girl, no wonder she's not human.
  • Link Ferris: All right. All right. We'll give you what you want but we've got to feel it. You can't expect artists...
  • Mr. Huggins: Artists? Who said you were artists? You're a couple of hack soap sellers. Only you're not selling soap. We've lost millions of listeners in the past few weeks. If you don't do something to bring them back, I'll cancel the program.
