Miracle in the Rain (1956)

Irene Seidner: Mrs. Hamer

Quotes 

• Mrs. Hamer : [alerting Ruth of the late time as she waits for Art to show up for their Sunday date]  It's 11:30! Them lousy fellows, they're all alike. I wouldn't give a nickel for them! You go ahead, go. Go by yourself - he ain't coming! You heard about Mrs. Fizzley of the 4th floor, she got a telegram from the war: her husband's missing. Haha! I cheered her up; I told her I know them husbands - he ain't missing, he just don't want to come home. Now go on, go to da picture show and have some fun!

  [looks at Agnes] 

  Mrs. Hamer : What's the matter with you all of da sudden? Why are you looking at her so funny for?

  Agnes Wood : [as she nervously gets up and addresses Ruth]  I've told you and told you, they're all the same - all they want is to hurt you. But you wouldn't listen to me, so now it's happened again - to you this time to you Ruth!

  [right then there's a knock at the door] 

  Mrs. Hamer : Eh, don't get excited; it's a milkman.

  [instead it's Art - friendly as ever, extremely apoligetic, and with a completely understandable explanation/excuse - making incorrect fools out of both Agnes and Mrs. Hamer] 

• Mrs. Hamer : [to Art]  You're a nice looking young fellow. What do you want to go get killed in ze war for? Oh, zat's no good. Stay home; I'm telling you.

  Pvt. Arthur 'Art' Hugenon : [smilingly]  I'll think it over Mrs. Hamer.

  Ruth Wood : Mrs. Hamer, you mustn't talk like that.

  Mrs. Hamer : Oh, I'm an old lady, I can talk how I like.

  [Ruth and Art smile and chuckle]
