    • Quotes

      [Evans is wiping automotive grease off the face of his next photographic subject]

      Plantagenet Evans: How old are you, lad?

      Youth: Seventeen.

      Plantagenet Evans: Oh, seventeen! The madcap years of youth. What a golden time for pernicious habits. I hope you're up to a few, are you?

      Mother: Ehhh, He's always been a good boy.

      Plantagenet Evans: Oh, the mothers are the last to know, 'twas ever thus. Now listen to me, boy, there are a lot of wicked women in this world. Now you take the advice of your Uncle Tomlin, always rent, rather than buy.

      [the reference to 'Uncle Tomlin', the mother's paramour whom Evans had met a few minutes earlier, delights the nearby mother, who squeals with laughter]
