Melvyn Douglas and Irene Dunne in Théodora devient folle (1936)

Quotes

Théodora devient folle

Edit
  • Theodora Lynn: [as Caroline Adams] I have this to say to the modern young girls, gentlemen - Be free, express yourselves! Take your life in your own hands and mold it. The world will try to rob you of your freedom, but fight for it! It's all you have to live for! That's all for the modern girl.
  • Ethel Stevenson: It's all perfectly clear to me. That adorable young thing is an unholy terror on wheels. There's nothing in the world more deadly than innocence on the manhunt!
  • Michael Grant: Say, this place is crawling with aunts.
  • Theodora Lynn: Oh, by the way, your mother made some cookies for me, but I met a hungry man, and he ate them up.
  • Agnes Grant: You know, this woman's really out to break up our marriage, Michael. Maybe you and I will root for her.
  • Michael Grant: Not too heavy, not too light, eat more fish, sits just right.
  • Jed Waterbury: [to Henry after getting calls objecting to the story] The buzzards are swoopin' down on us, Henry!
  • Ethel Stevenson: [On Miss Adams refusal to order a drink] It's no use, Michael. I've been working on Miss Adams half an hour. She won't let down of back hair. That's all there is to it.
  • Michael Grant: Well, I see, but the point is, has she got any back hair?
  • Michael Grant: I'll be happy when I'm darn good and ready to be happy, and not a minute sooner.
  • Henry: Yes, siree! Hot diggity dog!
  • Theodora Lynn: I suddenly realized I was a writer of wide reputation and most of it bad.
  • Theodora Lynn: How are you doing, Adelaide?
  • Adelaide Perry: I'm flying... I'm floating on a breeze
  • Ethel Stevenson: There's nothing in the world more deadly than innocence on the manhunt.
  • Theodora Lynn: Michael, you idiot.
  • Uncle John: And I'm gonna be proud of you yet.
  • Theodora Lynn: Not if I can help it, uncle.
  • Jed Waterbury: I guess I know a righteous spanking when I get one.
  • Rebecca Perry: [Reading from the Caroline Adams novel] But her brain was reeling with drink.
  • Theodora Lynn: [aka, Caroline Adams] But I had to sit and listen to it read out loud, and I give you my word, you have no idea how indecent the stuff sounded.
  • Arthur Stevenson: Why, here's this carefree rollicking spirit who's been going around for years sticking his nose in everybody's business, and now he's finally got it caught in a meat grinder.
