Please Believe Me (1950)

Carol Savage: Sylvia Rumley

Quotes 

• Sylvia Rumley : Cowboys.

  Alison Kirbe : Yes. Can't you just see them? Strumming their banjos as they set off about their day's work. They ride out from the ranch house - tall in the saddle. Their eyes narrowed to slits as they pass the ornery cattle rustler without even speaking to him.

  Sylvia Rumley : Oh, it all sounds simply wonderful.

• Alison Kirbe : Listen to this.

  [reads from a letter] 

  Alison Kirbe : "Dear little girl, I was thinkin' of you this morning, little part."

  Sylvia Rumley : Part?

  Alison Kirbe : It means partner.

  Sylvia Rumley : Partner?

  Alison Kirbe : It means part-ner.

  Sylvia Rumley : But you're not his partner.

  Alison Kirbe : No, no, no, they don't mean partner the way *we* mean partner. They mean buddy.

  Sylvia Rumley : Buddy?

  Alison Kirbe : You know, friend, pal, chum.

  Sylvia Rumley : Oh, why doesn't he say chum?

  Alison Kirbe : Because he says part.
