Violets in Spring (1936)

Robert Middlemass: John E. Stevens

Quotes 

• John E. Stevens : [Charlie and Mary are hugging]  What's the meaning of this?

  Charlie Hall : I'll tell you what's the meaning of this Mr. Stevens. This young lady has just consented to be my wife.

  John E. Stevens : What?

  Charlie Hall : Yes, sir, and I want to give you her notice right now.

  John E. Stevens : Why, she can't do that. She's the only one who knows my filing system. It'll take me months to break in another girl.

  Charlie Hall : [shaking his head]  I'm sorry, Mr. Stevens, but no wife of mine is going to work.

  Mary Jones : Aren't you going to congratulate us?

  John E. Stevens : Aww, sure.
