It Happened One Night

"Blanche Friderici - Zekes wife"

"[to Shapeley] I got a couple of machine guns in my suitcase. Ill let you have one of em. May have a little trouble up North. Have to shoot it out with the cops. But if you come through all right, those five Gs are as good as in the bag, maybe more. Ill have a talk with the Killer, see that he takes care of ya....yeah, yeah, the big boy, the boss of the outfit. You ever hear of Bugs Dooley?...He was a nice guy, just like you. But he made a big mistake one day. Got a little too talkative. Do you know what happened to his kid?...Well, I cant tell you, but when Bugs heard about it, he blew his brains out."

"[to Peter] There is a brain behind that face of yours, isnt there? Youve got everything nicely figured out for yourself."

"Shapeley: Shapeleys the name - and thats the way I like em!"

"Detective: Were wasting our time. Can you imagine Ellie Andrews riding on a bus?"

"Claudette Colbert - Ellie Andrews"

"Charles C. Wilson - Joe Gordon"

"[in a telegram] Am I laughing? The biggest scoop of the year just dropped in my lap. I know where Ellen Andrews is...How would you like to have the story, you big tub of mush...Will try and get it. What I said about never writing another line for you still goes. Are you burning? PETER WARNE"

"Walter Connolly - Alexander Andrews"

"[to Ellie] Now thats my whole plot in a nutshell. A simple story for simple people. If you behave yourself, Ill see that you get to King Westley. If not, Ill just have to spill the beans to Papa."

"[to Peter] You think Im a fool and a spoiled brat. Well, perhaps I am, although I dont see how I can be. People who are spoiled are accustomed to having their own way. I never have. On the contrary. Ive always been told what to do, and how to do it, and when, and with whom. Would you believe it? This is the first time Ive ever been alone with a man!...Its a wonder Im not panic-stricken...Nurses, governesses, chaperones, even bodyguards. Oh, its been a lot of fun."

"[to King Westley] I admit Im licked. But its only because Im worried. If I dont find her soon, Ill go crazy...if she returns, I wont interfere with your marriage."
