Mary Carlisle: Mary Ford

Quotes 

• Mary Ford : This is Mary Ford, your KYX news commentator spot broadcasting from the edge of the raging Green Valley flood waters. Hundreds of men are fighting desperately to hold the river in its course. Their own houses are underwater, but they're fighting to save the rest of the valley. If you'll stand by for just a minute, I'll try to get one of the workers to say a few words. Pardon me, won't you say a few words to the radio audience?

  Gene Autry : No! Pile 'em high over there, boys! Hey, wait a minute - yes, I will. I just want to tell you people we wouldn't have suffered this loss of life and property if that cheap politician, Congressman Fuller, had put through that flood control bill.

  Mary Ford : Hey! You want me to lose my job?

  Gene Autry : What did you expect me to say? Having a wonderful time - wish you were here!

• Mr. Craig, Mary's Boss : They liked him? They're daffy about him! Who is he? Where is he?

  Mary Ford : I don't know - just a cowboy they called "Gene."

  Mr. Craig, Mary's Boss : He'd be worth a fortune to us. Find him before somebody else hogties him.

  Mary Ford : Find him? But you said I could have a vacation!

  Mr. Craig, Mary's Boss : I said find him or you'll have a vacation -without pay.

• Mary Ford : Congressman Fuller isn't going to run for re-election.

  Gene Autry : Well, that won't break my heart.

  Frog Millhouse : Who's going to run in his place?

  Mary Ford : Gene!

  Gene Autry : Say, did you land on your head?

  Mary Ford : The evidence points to the other extremity.

• Gene Autry : I'm no politician.

  Mary Ford : You were no radio singer, either, until I shoved a microphone in front of you.
