Paul Douglas Quotes:

Mae Doyle D'Amato: Jerry! If you come any closer to me I'll smash your face in with the first thing I can lay my hands on!
Jerry D'Amato: You're no good!


Sidney 'Pop' Larkin: A gentleman always feels better after a little outing!


Deborah Bishop: Have you any idea how much Lora Mae is in love with you?
Porter Hollingsway: [scornfully] No! How much?
Deborah Bishop: So much she's afraid to tell you, afraid you'd laugh at her.
Porter Hollingsway: Me laugh? She couldn't say it with a straight face. Lora Mae in love with me? It's all she can do to wait it out.
Deborah Bishop: Wait it out?
Porter Hollingsway: Yeah, like an annuity till it matures. Like a slot machine till it pays off. That's what she's waiting for. A chance to call it off, to collect. "The end of the line. Fares, please." Don't tell me about love and Lora Mae.
