John Halliday: Mac

Quotes 

• Chester : Skipper, what are they sore about?

  Skipper Johnson : You can certainly pick 'em. That's the King's daughter.

  Johnny Baker : That's all right with me.

  Skipper Johnson : But, it isn't all right with him. She's taboo!

  Johnny Baker : What do you mean?

  Skipper Johnson : Well, you see, they have rules about such things these islands. No one's supposed to touch her except a native Prince. They're very strict about it.

  Walker : You're gonna get your throat cut, Johnny.

  Mac : Well, Johnny, it looks to me like the only out is for you to run for the job of native Prince on the democratic ticket this Fall.

• Skipper Johnson : That boy's whole life is wrapped up in his family. Why, if he came home with a native wife, it'd break his mother's heart.

  Mac : For east is east and west is west. An never the twain shall meet.

  Chester : Mac, what's the dope on the north and south?

• Johnny Baker : Natives!

  Chester : Women, too!

  Mac : Yeah, plenty.

• Mac : Johnny, here's the charm of the South Seas. You cruise about and outta nowhere you tumble onto one of these little islands. And nearly always, you find the natives are happy, carefree people.
