Quotes
-
Mary Martin : Sometimes I think if I don't get away from you, I'll go out of my mind.
Leo Darcy : That's only sometimes. You'll never get away. You belong to me!
Mary Martin : I've never belonged to you. Never! Do you hear?
-
Tom Mannering Jr. : Mary!
Mary Martin : The sucker himself.
Tom Mannering Jr. : Yes, I was a sucker to let you get away from me, but, not this time.
Mary Martin : Glutton for punishment, eh?
Tom Mannering Jr. : You fooled me once, never again.
-
Mary Martin : Are you ever serious about anything?
Tom Mannering Jr. : No, what is there to be serious about? The income tax? Tonsils? The decline of the white race?
[Potter, the butler enters]
Tom Mannering Jr. : Of course there's always sex. How do feel about sex, Potter? Or, uh... do you?
Potter - Tom's Butler : At this hour of the night, sir? It would be almost impossible to know.
-
Leo Darcy : Sit down, Sugar, and take it easy.
Mary Martin : I hope I didn't bust in on a party.
Bunny : Oh, it wasn't a party without you, honey.
-
Leo Darcy : Say, baby, you've gotten kind of thin lately.
[pats Mary's tummy]
Mary Martin : The last couple of days, I've been on a very strict diet.
-
Bunny : [drunkenly] I suppose you'd rather go back tramping the streets in the cold and the rain. Getting doors slammed in your face. Nothing to eat.
Mary Martin : Say, you ought to be on the stage.
Bunny : You think you're kidding? Oh, I've had more people tell me I'd make a great, emotional
[hiccup]
Bunny : actress.
-
Bunny : Mary, you better begin thinking about your career too. You know, in these days, a girl has gotta specialize.
Mary Martin : Well, let me see, I could be a lady barber or I could be a mayonnaise-dressing demonstrator. That ought to be good.
-
Bunny : Gee, honey, you've had an awful tough time.
Mary Martin : Now, don't go get me feeling sorry for myself, will you? Think of my morale.
Bunny : What's that?
Mary Martin : I don't know. But it's something you gotta keep up.
-
Mary Martin : You know, there was a picture I saw once when I was a kid. It was just a cheap copy of some painting, but I've never forgotten it. There were a lot of trees. Not ordinary trees. It was mysterious, kind of. With a mist over everything. So it didn't look real, you know, nothing you could grab onto. It was like music.
-
Mary Martin : I'll bet you're an only child. No, don't tell me. Let me guess.
Tom Mannering Jr. : Mm-hm. The proverbial waster, aimlessly drifting, killing a brilliant mind with drink.
-
Tom Mannering Jr. : Now, what do you suppose made me think of sex?
Mary Martin : I can't imagine. Most men never do.
Tom Mannering Jr. : And I'm the intellectual type myself.
Mary Martin : Me too.
Tom Mannering Jr. : Of course, sometimes, my baser nature gets the better of me.
Mary Martin : That's the beast in you.
Tom Mannering Jr. : How well you understand me.
-
Tom Mannering Jr. : Have you got any plans for the rest of the evening?
Mary Martin : Well, let me see. Oh, we could wake up your father and play 300 pinochle.
Tom Mannering Jr. : I can think of better games than that. Can't you?
-
Mary Martin : I suppose you think it's a gorgeous thrill dodging coppers, huh?
Tom Mannering Jr. : It's the first excitement I've had since my grandfather fell downstairs and left me 3 million in trust.
-
Tom Mannering Jr. : You don't mind if I tell you you're an exceedingly swell fella?
Mary Martin : Same to you.
-
Tom Mannering Jr. : Are you still set on being a businesswoman?
Mary Martin : Mmm-hmm.
Tom Mannering Jr. : It seems like an awful waste! But, if you're determined to do it, I know you'll make good.
-
Bunny : Oh, honey, don't mind him. He's daffy about you.
Mary Martin : So I noticed.
-
Tom Mannering Jr. : You think I didn't know you were there every minute?
Mary Martin : You didn't give any sign of it.
Tom Mannering Jr. : There wasn't a morning when I didn't wanna put three dozen gardenias on your desk. There wasn't a noon I didn't wanna take you to lunch. There wasn't a night I didn't want to...
Mary Martin : All right, let it go.
Tom Mannering Jr. : I'm serious. I wasted hours just watching for you to pass my door. Scheming for just the slightest look at you. Why, I even knew when you'd been in a room. The same perfume you used that night.
-
Mary Martin : You win, copper.
Charlie - the Cop : You're telling me. Who's your buddy?
Mary Martin : That's what I wanted to say. Listen, I'm Mary Martin. I'm anything you say. I'll go anywhere, tell you anything, but let him alone.
Charlie - the Cop : You make me kind of curious, sweetheart.
Mary Martin : Say, listen, does he look like he's one of Leo Darcy's mob? He's square. He's on the level. So square he'd ruin his life by sticking with me.
-
Mary Martin : Tom. I, uh, I can't go through with it.
Tom Mannering Jr. : What?
Mary Martin : This farce! You know, some things are too easy - and some fools are too flat-headed even to be trimmed.
Tom Mannering Jr. : But, Mary...
Mary Martin : You're not sap enough to think this was on the level, are you? Can't you see I played you for a sucker from the minute I saw you?
Tom Mannering Jr. : Well?
Mary Martin : Easy money, you boob. Sure, I saw it written all over that grinning mug of yours. I thought I could trim you and get away with it. But now the idiot wants to marry me! Is that a laugh? Now, I can't even tell you you don't have to marry me or you'd lose your high ideal of me. But, listen, sweetheart, marriage is too high a price to pay even for a bankroll like yours. I'd last just about a week, and then I'd brain you and run back to a real man! Good night - and pleasant fairy tales, little Rollo.
-
Mary Martin : What's the matter, Bun? Don't tell me you're getting refined.
Bunny : I got some news for you.
[whispers into Mary's ear]
Mary Martin : No.
Bunny : What am I gonna do?
Mary Martin : You better get married.
Bunny : What? To that gorilla!
