Quotes 

• Poppe : Good morning, Mr. Blom. Have you slept with a guilty conscience?

• Poppe : Give him a princely welcome. You know what celebrities can be like. "I want to be alone." But lord help us if we fulfill his wishes!

• Eva Sommer : No gentlemen arriving? Exciting males?

  Poppe : Exciting males? Let's just see. Yes, we've go something here! Yes! This is right up your alley. Top quality. Can you guess who?

  Eva Sommer : Ali Khan?

  Poppe : No, not Ali Khan.

  Eva Sommer : Gary Cooper?

  Poppe : No. Higher up, higher up. Well, do you know who's coming? Our very own popular actor, Teddy Winter.

  Eva Sommer : [excited]  Teddy's coming?

• Eva Sommer : Don't tell him I'm here.

  Poppe : I'll be silent as an old family grave.

• Ornitologen : I have the impression that the young lady knows who I am.

  Poppe : Yes. Of course she does.

  Ornitologen : But, I don't know her.

  Poppe : Now, you must be joking.

  Ornitologen : Oh, I know. She must be one of my old students.

  Poppe : Yes. Yes, I'm sure you have educated lots of young ladies over the years.

• Ruth Granberg : Put her in number 13, then it's in the bag.

  Poppe : In the bag? It's nowhere near the bag. You've made a mess of it. You know room number 13 is both a double room and a bridal suite. The young lady could be a virgin. A virgin in the bridal suite? She might develop issues. She'll feel like an Eskimo in the Sahara!

• Poppe : Don't tell me that you don't know the actress Eva Sommer.

  Ornitologen : Oh?

  Poppe : She, who washes herself with Lux soap on the backside of Albers each Wednesday.

  Ornitologen : Really? She washes up on the backside? Every Wednesday?

• Mona Miller : I had to go back on an awful train. Now I simply want to crash.

  Poppe : Crash away, Miss Miller. Crash. I've also had a rough day. I wish I could crash with you.

• Ruth Granberg : [disguised as Rudolph, the page boy]  What's the matter, Poppe?

  Poppe : Winter is not Winter after all. Yet Winter is still Winter. But when Winter isn't Winter, then Winter can't be Winter when he says he doesn't know people who claim they know him.

• Ornitologen : Is it me who's gone mad?

  Poppe : Oh, no. Everyone has gone mad. At least I have.

• Direktør Granberg : Grey.

  Poppe : Yes.

  Direktør Granberg : Grey.

  Poppe : Perhaps around your temples, yes.

  Direktør Granberg : I am Grey.

  Poppe : But it suits you, sir.

  Direktør Granberg : I am Doctor Grey.

  Poppe : Yes, I'm sure it will pass. Oh, you are Doctor Grey? Pardon me. Welcome, Doctor Grey.

• Poppe : [singing]  Now I say good night, And the evening is over, But I've really got this hunch, There's something afoot in the wind, But let's call it a day tonight.

• Poppe : Please. Upstairs and to your left. Sleep tight in your double bed.

  Direktør Granberg : Thanks. It will be a bit lonely.

  Poppe : I'm afraid I'm busy working.

• Poppe : Was there a man in your room?

  Lalla : No, I wasn't that lucky.

• Poppe : I'll say nothing, Mr. Winter. I'll be as silent as a muffler.

• Teddy Winter : Poppe, are you married?

  Poppe : Are you proposing? No. I'm footloose and fancy-free.

  Teddy Winter : Then your wife should be happy.

  Poppe : Yes, she must be.
