Quotes6

  • Queenie: You haven't any right to ask me things like that.
  • Billy Mitchell: Now listen here Queenie. We haven't seen much of each other on account of me bein' away at sea, but you've known all the time that I've been thinking of you and hoping that as the years went by you might grow out of some of your high-falutin' ideas and think me good enough to be your husband. All that gives me the right to ask anything I like.
  • Queenie: No it doesn't.
  • Billy Mitchell: Is there someone else or isn't there?
  • Queenie: Yes there is if you want to know, so there.
  • Billy Mitchell: You going to marry him?
  • Queenie: No.
  • Billy Mitchell: Why not?
  • Queenie: That's my affair.
  • Billy Mitchell: Is he married already?
  • Queenie: Leave me alone!
  • Billy Mitchell: Is he?
  • Queenie: Yes he is! Now are you satisfied?
  • Billy Mitchell: Oh Queenie. You're an awful fool. I do wish you weren't.
  • Queenie: Who are you calling a fool? People can't help their feelings.
  • Billy Mitchell: No, but they can have enough sense not to let their feelings get the better of them!
  • Billy Mitchell: I haven't done anything wrong, have I?
  • Queenie: Well, I don't like being taken for granted. No girl does.
  • Billy Mitchell: How do you mean, taken for granted? You can't hold hands with someone all through "Desert Love" and the next minute expect them to treat you like the Empress of Russia.
  • Queenie: Don't talk so silly.
  • Frank Gibbons: Have you come to see Queenie?
  • Billy Mitchell: Well as a matter of fact, I thought that Reg might...
  • Frank Gibbons: You'll find her in the living room.
  • Billy Mitchell: If in two or three years' time, when I've worked my way up a bit, Queenie and me got married, would you mind?
  • Frank Gibbons: Well, if Queenie wanted it it, it wouldn't matter if I minded or not, you know - she'd get her own way, she always does...
  • Billy Mitchell: All ready for the ball and chain?
  • Reg: You're too ruddy cheerful by half.
  • Billy Mitchell: Well, of course I am. I'm a sailor, aren't I? All sailors are bright and breezy, you know? It's in the regulations.
  • Billy Mitchell: I've been transferred from a cruiser to a destroyer.
