A scene from Stage Door 1937
Terry

The trouble with you is - you're all trying to be comics. Don't you ever take anything seriously?

Judy

If you sat around for a year trying to get a job, you won't take anything seriously either.

Terry

Well, do you have to just sit around and do nothing about it?

Judy

Maybe it's in the blood. My grandfather sat around till he was eighty.

Terry

Well my grandfather didn't and if he and a lot of others hadn't crossed the country in a covered wagon, there'd still be Indians living in Wichita.

Eve

Who do you think's living there now?

Terry

You think you're facing difficulties. What do you think of the men who crossed the Rockies?

One of the girls

Did any of them ever try to crash a manager's office?

Terry

No, but if they'd wanted to, I'm sure they could have and I bet I can too.
