Quotes

God's Gift to Women

Edit
  • Tania Donaliff: [refering to her trip to Africa] But I could never stand intense heat for long.
  • Diane Churchill: Then the place I had in mind for you wouldn't do at all.
  • Tania Donaliff: No. Huh?
  • [chuckles]
  • Tania Donaliff: Charming.
  • Diane Churchill: This is where I want to go when I die.
  • John Churchill: You can have my share of it. I'd rather have an alley in Rochester than all the streets in Paris.
  • Diane Churchill: Oh, Dad. But, this place is perfectly swell.
  • John Churchill: How often have I told you not to say swell?
  • Diane Churchill: Sorry, darling. I shan't use it again. But, it is a nice place, don't you think?
  • John Churchill: Nothing but a lot of jazz bands, dancing, champagne, whoopee! That's all the French think about.
  • Toto Duryea: Darling, I love you. Goddess.
  • Diane Churchill: Oh, you!
  • Toto Duryea: Yes. Don't be afraid of me.
  • Diane Churchill: What are you doing like that?
  • [Toto is dressed in disguise]
  • Toto Duryea: Oh, I can't live without you.
  • Diane Churchill: Oh, stop, please.
  • Toto Duryea: You must believe me.
  • Diane Churchill: I'll never believe you again.
  • Toto Duryea: Do you suppose I'd masquerade like this if anything in the world mattered but you?
  • John Churchill: Oh, now I know all about you.
  • Toto Duryea: Oh, really?
  • John Churchill: Why, back in Rochester, we only consider your type of a man a lounge lizard. Just a common, ordinary garden variety of boudoir baboon.
  • Toto Duryea: Well, I won't deny it.
  • Dr. Louis Dumont: If you want to live, you must obey my orders implicitly.
  • Toto Duryea: Of course I will, Doctor. I want to follow your orders. You don't think I want my aorta to burst, do you? Give me orders. Give me a lot of orders. Enough to do me a long time.
  • Dr. Louis Dumont: First of all, you must avoid all excitement.
  • Toto Duryea: Yes sir.
  • Dr. Louis Dumont: You must stop drinking entirely.
  • Toto Duryea: Not even a glass of wine at dinner?
  • Dr. Louis Dumont: Not a drop. But, most important of all, you must give up your career as a great lover.
  • Toto Duryea: But, I have given up that career.
  • Dr. Louis Dumont: But, you must give up on women entirely.
  • Toto Duryea: Oh, there's only one woman in my life, now.
  • Dr. Louis Dumont: That's one too many.
  • Toto Duryea: What? Why, I couldn't do with less. Did you know that one is next to none at all?
  • Dr. Louis Dumont: That's enough to put you in the grave.
  • Toto Duryea: Please, please, I've got to get a professional nurse, if you don't mind.
  • Fifi: Do you suppose I'd let some strange woman come in here and nurse you back to health, again?
  • Toto Duryea: This is a male nurse.
  • Fifi: Oh, but men are so awkward. Besides, I'm a wonderful nurse. Didn't I take care of my first husband, until...
  • Toto Duryea: Until what?
  • Fifi: Until he died in my arms.
  • Toto Duryea: Florine. Hello, Florine.
  • Florine: Hello, darling.
  • Toto Duryea: I'm sorry about the medicine, but, you see, it's the doctor's orders.
  • Florine: I know, I was so shocked to hear about it.
  • Toto Duryea: Oh, shhh... not so loud.
  • Florine: I was so shocked to hear about it. I've come to nurse you. Look, I'm all prepared.
  • Toto Duryea: That's very nice of you, but, you see, see, Auguste will look after me.
  • Florine: I know, but Auguste could never do the intimate little things for you that I will do.
  • Toto Duryea: I'll say he wouldn't.
  • Toto Duryea: I'm sick, don't bother me.
  • Dagmar: I know you are, dear. But, everything be alright. I'll bring you back to your health.
  • Toto Duryea: You're not going to do me a bit of good.
  • Dagmar: Yes, I will. You stay right here in bed and I'm going to change my clothes. I'll be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
  • Toto Duryea: Two shakes of who's tail?
  • Dagmar: You know, lamb, baaa...
  • Florine: Are you feeling better, darling? What's the matter?
  • Fifi: Oh! What are you doing here!
  • Toto Duryea: That's my night nurse.
  • Florine: What are you doing here!
  • Toto Duryea: That's my day nurse.
  • Fifi: I'll night nurse you!
  • Auguste, Toto's Butler: There's a gentlemen downstairs to see you, monsieur.
  • Toto Duryea: Who is he?
  • Auguste, Toto's Butler: He says he's the husband of one of these ladies.
  • Florine: Is he fat?
  • Fifi: Is he bald?
  • Dagmar: Is he tall?
  • Auguste, Toto's Butler: Yes. He's crazy and he has a gun.
  • Toto Duryea: Show him in.
  • [Shot fired]
  • Auguste, Toto's Butler: He's in.
  • Diane Churchill: I have bad news.
  • Toto Duryea: What?
  • Diane Churchill: Father's taking me back to America, tomorrow.
  • Toto Duryea: Oh, I'm desolate, cherie, but, but...
  • Diane Churchill: What's the matter?
  • Toto Duryea: Well, I'm sorry, you see, but I haven't been feeling well and I'm just a bit nervous. But, after all, that's life, isn't it. Still, it does seem a pity that we couldn't have had one hour of love, together.
  • Diane Churchill: We will.
  • Toto Duryea: Will we?
  • Diane Churchill: I can slip away tonight.
  • Toto Duryea: Tonight? Oh, but, your reputation.
  • Diane Churchill: Oh, no matter my reputation. You must hold me in your arms. I must feel your kisses on my lips before I go.
  • Toto Duryea: Ah, Bonjour, Monsieur. This is in deed a pleasure to have you here in my home.
  • John Churchill: Now, look here, young man. I want you to stop molesting my daughter.
  • Fifi: There, now be quiet, dear and I'll be back in a jiffy.
  • Toto Duryea: Be back in a what?
  • Fifi: In a jiffy!
  • Toto Duryea: She's coming back in a jiffy, oh...
