Youth Runs Wild (1944)

Jean Brooks: Mary Coates

Quotes 

• Mary Coates : Mom - that's why she's working so hard. So that you can go to college and know things. Oh, Frankie, it would kill her if you quit school just so you could have a good time with a girl.

  Frank 'Frankie' Hauser : That's not the point, Mary. The point is that other fellas will take Sarah out and I can't.

  Mary Coates : Aren't you willing to risk that for Mom's happiness?

• Frank 'Frankie' Hauser : It's her 16th birthday. She' a couple of months older than me; but, you don't think that makes any difference, do you?

  Mary Coates : No, I don't think so.

  Frank 'Frankie' Hauser : So, I want you to understand, there's nothing mushy between us.

• Danny Coates : I guess there's more to war than fighting. What it does to kids - that's just as much our job.

  Mary Coates : But, they want people to work in defense factories, Danny. They can't work and take care of their kids at the same time.

  Danny Coates : I know. There ought to be something we could do about it.

• Mary Coates : Kids are just the same as they always were. It's the war and these new people. New people from all sorts of places without the slightest notion of how to live decently.
