The Adventures of Spin and Marty (1955)

B.G. Norman: Ambitious

Quotes 

• Perkins : Young man! I say, young man!

  Ambitious : Who, me?

  Perkins : Yes, what's going on here? I saw Master Martin through the window. Which way did he go? Why is Mr. Burnett chasing him? Well?

  Ambitious : He just said he was gettin' out, that's all I know.

  Perkins : He can't get out of anywhere without me. It's against instructions.

  Ambitious : I guess he forgot.

  Perkins : Well, they aren't actually his instructions, they're mine. That is, they're his grandmama's. Well, his grandmama instructed me... Oh, what's the use? Which way did he go?

  Ambitious : He went thatta-way, through the grove.

• Ambitious : Marty, how come you're so stubborn?

  Marty Markham : I'm not!

• Ambitious : The way you're picking on the poor guy makes me sick to my stomach.

  Joe : Hey, whose side are you on, anyway?

  Ambitious : My stomach's!

• Ambitious : People who waste so much ambition are just stupid, anyway.

  Marty Markham : Yeah, I've noticed you're just about the most ambitious guy I know.

• Spin Evans : Last year, a kid bust his arm by standing on his head in an upper bunk.

  Louie : I could do that.

  Spin Evans : You shoulda seen how fast his folks yanked him outta here.

  Ambitious : I'll bet his grandmother's instructions didn't say anything about this.

  Alfred "Al" McGrath : Grandmothers are even worse than parents about blood and stuff.

  Ambitious : Poor Marty. Just when he was startin' to like the Triple R.

  Frank : Liked it? He called it a dirty old farm, and he kept tryin' to run home, didn't he? So let him! Honestly, who cares about a drip like that?

  Spin Evans : Why don't you stick your head in a bucket?

  Rick : Boy, that guy didn't even cry.

  Freddie : And it hurt, too, bad. He took out the horse all by himself, and then he fought a rattlesnake single-handed.

  Speckle : I wish he had remembered to cut off the rattle for my collection.

• Col. Logan : Well, Marty, I see you're in time for the pack lesson.

  Marty Markham : Yes, sir.

  Ambitious : Hey, lemme see your arm.

  Marty Markham : Well, I have to take it easy for a while, no hard riding for anything.

  Joe : Hey, did you hear the news? We're goin' to a new place on the pack trip!

  Ambitious : Yeah, the rain washed out something, so we're goin' to a place called Haunted Valley.

  Marty Markham : Where?

  Ambitious , Joe : Haunted Valley!
