May Robson credited as playing...
Grandma Kyser
- Penelope Pennypacker: [to John Barrymore] Do sit down.
- Grandma Kyser: My, my! Have an accident?
- John Barrymore: [hollering as he sits down] No, thanks. I just had one.
- Penelope Pennypacker: Oh, he must have sprained his back! I hope I have some liniments in the house!
- Grandma Kyser: Have you ever tried rubbing alcohol?
- John Barrymore: Not since prohibition.
- Kay Kyser: This is my grandmother from Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Grandma, Mr. John Barrymore.
- Grandma Kyser: How do you do, Mr. Barrymore?
- John Barrymore: My dear, dear lady. I am honored to meet the glorious fountainhead from which spring this sparkling brook of wit, your grandson, came.
- Kay Kyser: I think I better stick to comedy.
- John Barrymore: The line between comedy and tragedy is thinner than a hair. When you play the Professor of the College of Musical Knowledge, that is comedy. When you play Hamlet or Macbeth, that, me dear lad, is tragedy.
- Kay Kyser: That's what I'm afraid of.
- Grandma Kyser: Oh, Kay, don't be so namby-pamby! One would think you'd never been on the stage before.
- Kay Kyser: Yes, but, Shakespeare!
- Grandma Kyser: Acting is acting!
