Violets in Spring (1936)

George Murphy: Charlie Hall

Quotes 

• Mary Jones : Have some candy?

  Charlie Hall : Where'd you get it?

  Mary Jones : Mr. Stevens.

  Charlie Hall : [Reading Steven's business card asking Mary to have dinner with him]  Say, you're not gonna keep this date, are you?

  Mary Jones : Oh, I don't know. I haven't decided yet.

  Charlie Hall : Listen, I'm not going to have any future wife of mine galavanting around with strangers.

  Mary Jones : But he's no stranger.

  Charlie Hall : Oh, he isn't?

  [the two start arguing with audio being heard] 

  Willie : [Watching the argument along with Mr. Stevens, from the next office]  The possessive instinct.

• 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.
