Quotes

Les Grecs avaient un nom pour elles

Edit
  • Jean Lawrence: A speakeasy that closes at two o'clock is practically a tea room!
  • Drunk: Waiter, I'm looking for a place to wash my hands.
  • The Waiter: There's a room there marked 'Gentlemen'; but, don't let that stop you. You go right in.
  • Polaire: Do my eyes deceive me or is she really alone?
  • Schatzi: And without a man.
  • Polaire: I should think she'd be afraid of catching cold.
  • Polaire: I can always tell real pearls - even when they're such little ones!
  • Schatzi: I think her stocks went down and there she was in Paris and didn't know how to say 'sell short' in French.
  • Jean Lawrence: You know that I'm for you and I know that you're for me and there's no friends like old friends.
  • Polaire: It's the three of us.
  • Jean Lawrence: Against the men.
  • Schatzi: [singing] Almost like old times...
  • Schatzi: Not a bean in the world and talking about diamonds.
  • Schatzi: Her fiancé's wife arrived and it seems that she's a very narrow-minded person.
  • Schatzi: What you need is a little drinkie. Come on up to my place and have on.
  • Dey Emery: Always together, thicker than thieves, and out for no good. I call them the three musketeers of riverside drive.
  • Polaire: Faith.
  • Schatzi: Hope.
  • Jean Lawrence: Charity.
  • Jean Lawrence, Polaire, Schatzi: Ta da!
  • Boris Feldman: You should be on the stage.
  • Jean Lawrence, Polaire, Schatzi: Oh, we've been.
  • Polaire: Ladies of Follies.
  • Jean Lawrence: What's Pops to you?
  • Polaire: Well, he's my fiancé. Not that we're engaged or anything like that.
  • Polaire: Have him bring along some nice friend of his who's fun who'd like to meet a nice girl who's fun too.
  • Jean Lawrence: What's Pops to you?
  • Polaire: Well, you wouldn't expect a nice girl like me to leave a kind, old gentleman like Pops sitting alone at the Metropolitan Club without a friend to call his own.
  • Boris Feldman: You know what gives me more trouble than anything else in the world?
  • Jean Lawrence: Well, it might be your income tax man and it might be your waistline.
  • Boris Feldman: Caviar?
  • Jean Lawrence: Don't speak of food while I'm drinking my dinner.
  • Schatzi: It's not bad, this, huh?
  • Polaire: I'll tell you more about it in the morning.
  • Schatzi: What do you mean?
  • Polaire: You can tell an awful lot about the liquor you drink the night before by where you find your hat the next morning.
  • Jean Lawrence: Come on, everybody, let's have a little drinkie!
  • Boris Feldman: Not a piano player. A pianist, please.
  • Jean Lawrence: It's the same thing to me.
  • Schatzi: I never give advice except when I'm tight. So, I think you better take him up and do what he tells you.
  • Polaire: All New York to pick from and you had to bring a piano player.
  • Schatzi: That's what I call high, wide and handsome.
  • Jean Lawrence: Handsome is as handsome does.
  • Schatzi: I don't see where that's taking advantage of me? She won't let me make her anything but notorious.
  • Schatzi: This party has certainly died the death. I'm going home.
  • Dey Emery: Don't forget me if you fall off the piano stool.
  • Boris Feldman: She's promised to give me her hands. I did not say her hand. And I'm going to help to make them famous.
  • Boris Feldman: I keep my coffee in the strangest places.
  • Polaire: Take me down.
  • Jean Lawrence: Oh, I'm hot. Oh, I wonder were my dress is? I did have a dress once. Pardon my appearance.
  • Boris Feldman: I find it hard to.
  • Jean Lawrence: Oh, this is the most wonderful couch in the world. Do you mind if I stay here?
  • Boris Feldman: Just what do you want?
  • Jean Lawrence: I want to take piano lessons.
  • Dey Emery: Couldn't they have fallen inside your dress?
  • Justin Emery: I think you better look.
  • Jean Lawrence: Do you? All right, I will.
  • Schatzi: Well, I'll help you.
  • Jean Lawrence: No, thanks! No, I'll search myself. Now, watch closely, Mr. Emery. See that I don't pull any Houdini tricks.
  • Jean Lawrence: Well, anyhow.
  • Schatzi, Polaire: Yeah, anyhow.
  • Jean Lawrence: Anyhow.
  • Polaire: Now, come on, Jean. You buck up.
  • Jean Lawrence: Now that we've got that off our mind, what have you got on your hips?
  • Schatzi: Where you been keepin' yourself?
  • Jean Lawrence: Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies. Where's Polaire?
  • Schatzi: Ask me any questions you want to, I can keep my trap shut.
  • Jean Lawrence: Where's my dress? Where's my dress?
  • Schatzi: A dress, more or less, never bothered you before.
  • Schatzi: Oh, it makes me feel a little queer.
  • Jean Lawrence: Yeah, me too.
  • Jean Lawrence: When people have fun together, that's something, isn't it.
  • Polaire: Sometimes I think that's all there is.
  • Jean Lawrence: So do I... sometimes.
  • Jean Lawrence: I'll change any habits of mine that don't suit you, the day you change your face for what I can stand.
  • Polaire: You won't have to stand anything about me any more than I do about you, you poor blonde wop!
  • Jean Lawrence: Don't you call me a blonde wop!
  • Schatzi: Stop scrapping, both of you! She can't help it if she's Italian.
  • Jean Lawrence: [a passenger has bumped her rear end as they are exiting the ship in New York] Will you kindly take your suitcase out of the small of my back?
  • Passenger exiting liner: I beg your pardon. I didn't know it was the small of your back.
  • Jean Lawrence: Well, you're a stranger to me, and that's the small of my back to you!
  • Title card: [opening title card] Throughout the ages, half of the women of the world have been working women...
  • Title card: [opening title card] and the rest of the women have been working men.
  • Jean Lawrence: You gonna make me believe that I've bought $43 worth of liquor since I've been on this boat?
  • Waiter: Oh, no, madame. These are only the drinks you haven't paid for yet.
  • Jean Lawrence: Say, whatta you do?
  • Boris Feldman: I play the piano.
  • Jean Lawrence: Is that all?
  • Boris Feldman: Well, I took tambourine lessons, but I gave them up when I was very young.
  • Jean Lawrence: Oh, dear - a comic as well.
  • Polaire: He happens to play a little better than anyone else in the world.
