His Kind of Woman

His Kind of Woman

Myron Winton: [after he and the other guests have viewed one of Mark Cardigan's films] Yes sir, I agree with those folks: that was one of the finest movies I've ever seen. They oughta' make 'em ALL like that. None of this nonsense about social matters. People don't go to the movies to see how miserable the world is - they go there to eat popcorn and be happy!
Mark Cardigan: [Addressing Mr. Krafft] What did you think of it?
Martin Krafft: [Dourly] It had a message no pigeon would carry.
Mark Cardigan: [Slightly amused, turning to Mr. Winton] At my studios, all messages are handled by Western Union.
Myron Winton: You know, you can't take his opinion on anything: he's an *intellectual.*
[Cardigan responds with a look of mild alarm]

Benjy Benjamin: What if something happens?
Tyler Fitzgerald: What could happen to an Old Fashioned?

Tyler Fitzgerald: You know what I need? I need a drink. There's some ice and stuff back there. Why don't you make us all some old fashioneds?
Ding Bell: "Old Fashions"? Do you think you oughta drink while you're flying?
Tyler Fitzgerald: Well stop kidding, will ya, and make us some drinks! You just press the button back there marked "booze". It's the only way to fly!

Jim Stark: [sitting down, hugging his father's legs helplessly] Help me!
Frank Stark: Look, Jim. You can depend on me. Trust me. Whatever comes, we'll, we'll fix it together. I swear it. Now Jim, stand up. I'll stand up with you. I'll try and be as strong as you want me to be. Come on.

The Wheeler Dealers

The Wheeler Dealers

[in his office, Bear is telling Whitby to fire Molly to save money - she gets up from her desk]
Bullard Bear: Where is she going?
Whitby: Her lunch club, I think.
Bullard Bear: Women shouldn't be allowed to have lunch clubs. We gotta keep 'em off-balance, disorganized, clawing and scratching at each other. Otherwise they might turn on us like mad dogs!
