Quotes from
Dr. Mangrum: Once, when I was studying medicine in Europe, I had a friend - an artist. He drew portraits of people and made them resemble the animals they reminded him of. He'd have drawn this man as a coiled cobra.
Mrs. Worth: Ho ho ho, Doctor, you're analogy is terribly imperfect and your naturalism faulty. Cobras don't coil.
Penelope Worth: Quirt, please stay away from Laredo Stevens.
Quirt Evans: He owes me money. And don't worry - I might come out on top.
Penelope Worth: That'd be even worse.
Quirt Evans: Worse! Then it'd be worse if he goes down than if I go down?
Penelope Worth: Of course, don't you see that...
Quirt Evans: Oh, I know, I'd be a guy with a marked soul.
Penelope Worth: Don't make it sound so crude, Quirt. You see why - I couldn't love you.
Quirt Evans: Alright, I won't look up Laredo. It's better this way: every time he opens a door, every time he hears footsteps comin' around a corner... Laredo'll start sweatin', thinkin' it's me. His food won't sit well the rest of his life.
[he sees that she's looking sort of annoyed and amused at his attitude]
Quirt Evans: Well, alright; but if I'm gonna be holy, I gotta get some fun out of it!
Quirt Evans: He swung a wide loop in his younger days, I think.
Penelope Worth: A wide loop?
Quirt Evans: He wasn't too careful whose calf he threw his rope at.
