What a Woman! (1943)

Willard Parker: Michael Cobb

Quotes 

• Carol Ainsley : They're really lovely, Michael. It's very thoughtful of you. Take this clock, for instance. You shouldn't go spending your money like this.

  Michael Cobb : Money? Why, I'm rolling in it. I just stopped into my publisher's and they showed me my royalty statement. Why, if I don't start spending some of it, I'll clutter up the bank.

• Michael Cobb : [Looking at the gifts that Carol has received but told Pepper that they are appreciations from members of a quartet that's a client of hers]  There's one more.

  Henry Pepper : One more what?

  Michael Cobb : Gift.

  Henry Pepper : Oh, did you send these?

  Michael Cobb : [Looking at Carol]  Oh, he didn't know?

  Carol Ainsley : No, he didn't know, but he knows now.

• Carol Ainsley : Uh, Michael, have you any idea how this happened?

  Michael Cobb : Well, darling, I spoke to the press tonight, but it was strictest confidence.

  [All the dinner guests at her father's house laugh] 

  Senator : The strictest confidence? Washington newspapers?

  [the group continues laughing] 

• Michael Cobb : You know, Henry, there's something challenging about failure. If a man has undertaken something - right or wrong, there's an urge to see it through.
