Quotes5

  • Johnny Carson: The average woman thinks if a fella has an accent - whether it's French or, uh, Spanish, or whatever - is somehow mysterious and, uh... has more emotional qualities within him. That's true.
  • Fernando Lamas: It also helps when they do not understand you.
  • Johnny Carson: Have I ever...?
  • Fernando Lamas: Been hit, by a lady?
  • Johnny Carson: Well, it wasn't a lady.
  • Fernando Lamas: She was not a lady?
  • Johnny Carson: Well, no - because, see, if she would have been a lady, she wouldn't have slapped me.
  • Fernando Lamas: Right.
  • Johnny Carson: Right?
  • Fernando Lamas: That's a - that's a marvelous way out.
  • Fernando Lamas: Have you noticed that mysterious people are generally mysterious because they have nothing to say? And I think it's a marvelous way out. You stay in a corner - mysterious, serious; people say "very interesting man". Just dumb! Nothing to say. Grow a mustache, like this, and stay very serious. Maybe a patch on the eye, people say "really something".
  • Johnny Carson: Who would you like to come - hope to come back, if you could come back in another life?
  • Fernando Lamas: I'd like to be a kangaroo.
  • Fernando Lamas: [on women being stronger] You know what would happen if we had to give birth? Humanity would end in a month.
