I admit I'm licked. But it's only because I'm worried. If I don't find her soon, I'll go crazy...if she returns, I won't interfere with your marriage.

It Happened One Night quotes
Page 3 of 3[to Peter]
There is a brain behind that face of yours, isn't there? You've got everything nicely figured out for yourself.
Remember me? I'm the fellow you slept on last night.
You needn't concern yourself about me. I can take care of myself.
You'll never get away with it, Miss Andrews.
[to his boss, who has already hung up]
Oh, so you're changing your tune, eh? You're a little late with your apologies. I wouldn't go back to work for you if you begged me on your hands and knees. And I hope this will be a lesson to you.
[to Ellie]
Now listen, I put up a stiff fight for that seat. So if it's just the same to you - scram!
Zeke's Wife Funny couple, ain't they?
Zeke Yeah.
Zeke's Wife If you ask me, I don't believe they're married.
Zeke They're married all right. I just seen the license.
Zeke's Wife They made me get them a rope and a blanket on a night like this. What do you reckon that's for?
Zeke Blamed if I know. I just brung 'em a trumpet.
Zeke's Wife A trumpet?
Zeke Yeah, one of them toy things. They sent me to the store to get it.
Zeke's Wife But what in the world do they want a trumpet for?
Zeke Dunno.
[The trumpet sounds, and the blanket falls to the floor]
Well, you certainly outsmarted your father. I guess you ought to be happy.
Am I going to see you in New York?
Nope.
Why not?
I don't make it a policy to run around with married women.
No harm in your coming to see it.
Not interested.
Will I ever see you again?
What do you want to see me for? I've served my purpose. I brought you back to King Westley didn't I? That's what you wanted, wasn't it?
I never did like the idea of sitting on newspaper. I did it once, and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level! It actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news on the seat of my pants.
Well, we're on the last lap. Tomorrow morning, you'll be in the arms of your husband.
Yeah. You'll have a great story won't you?
Yeah.
