“He's sweet and thoughtful...sane and considerate. I was married to...” – Lucy, The Awful Truth ... Movie Quotes Database

Lucy

[about Daniel]

He's sweet and thoughtful...sane and considerate. I was married to one who was insane and inconsiderate.

Aunt Patsy

I didn't expect you to get silly about him...It's fine except the rebound is rarely the real thing. As a matter of fact, it's the bunk.

Lucy

Well, I'm serious about Daniel and I like him. I like him very much. I'm all through with Jerry. He doesn't mean a thing to me. I don't love him, and what's more, I probably never did. I'm sure I never loved him and now I hate him. And that surprises you, doesn't it? I hate Jerry Warriner and I like Daniel Leeson very very much and I hope he's just crazy about me because I think he's the finest man I ever met.

Dixie Belle Oh, for quite some time. I got wise to the fact that it helps me in my work. So as long as I loved my work, you'll all have to pardon my Southern accent. Jerry I just met her. Lucy I guess it was easier to her to change her name than for her whole family to change theirs. Daniel That'd go great out West. Lucy It seemed to go pretty well with the cowboy here. Jerry What do you see in this fellow? Lucy Oh, none of your business. Jerry Not that I care, but uh, what kind of mind could he have that would impress you, huh? Lucy You might be surprised. You could take a few lessons and profit nicely.
