Dream Wife (1953)

Bruce Bennett: Charlie Elkwood

Quotes 

• Clemson Reade : Suppose there were a girl like that. Suppose I had found a girl who was trained from the day she was born to be a dream wife. What would you say?

  Charlie Elkwood : I'd say, "Has she got a friend?"

• Charlie Elkwood : [talking about his wife]  I make it a practice to take May little presents every now and then. It's something I picked up from her first husband. He told me about it in court. It does help keep her quiet.

• Ken Landwell : Clem, how did you train her to light your cigarette?

  Clemson Reade : I didn't train her. She's not a trick dog. All she cares about is whether I'm happy. It's a natural instinct.

  Henry Malvine : Some instinct.

  Charlie Elkwood : Tell us about some of her other instincts.
