Charles Farrell Quotes:

Peter Piper: With my mother's independence and your mother's bills, we'll go to the altar in wheelchairs.


Sidney Taylor: I just saw you watching Betty, and the way you looked at her legs. You looked kind of funny.
Peter Piper: I can't help looking funny. I was born that way.
Sidney Taylor: Don't, Pete. I'm serious. I've thought about it often.
Peter Piper: About what?
Sidney Taylor: Listen, Pete. Why can't we have a - holiday together?
Peter Piper: A what?
Sidney Taylor: Why can't we go away somewhere together? We could come back, and no one would ever know.
Peter Piper: Say, what in the name of heaven are you...
Sidney Taylor: Wouldn't you?
Peter Piper: No, and neither would you. I hope I don't know what you're talking about, but I think I do. You wouldn't want to do anything like that, would you?
Sidney Taylor: No, I wouldn't. But I love you, Pete, and I know men are different.
Peter Piper: Different from what?
Sidney Taylor: From a girl. I mean, a nice girl.
Peter Piper: You poor little kid. Somebody's been telling you a lot about the difference in habits between men and women. Self-control. Maybe it's true, and then again maybe it's a lot of applesauce. As far as I'm concerned, if a person's on the level, it's got nothing to do with sex. Get me?
Sidney Taylor: I think so, but I just wanted you to know I'd do anything for you.
Peter Piper: Don't you think you have? Don't you worry your poor little head about me. I'm all right, and I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait for you until hell freezes over.


Mrs. Piper: Pete, my poor boy. You're on the edge of a great and serious experience.
[It's the night before Pete's wedding]
Peter Piper: What's the matter? What are you talking about?
Mrs. Piper: Listen, Pete. In every man, in every boy even, there lurks a beast. A beast that can be aroused!
Peter Piper: [embarrassed] Oh for cat's sake, Ma.
