Mr. Stringer quotes from The Witches (1990)

Is she sober?

Mr. Stringer

Yes she's sober! I've been with her all aftern... When... I... Uh... I saw her w... Yes, of course she's sober! Don't be stupid!

I'll see you later then.

Mr. Stringer

We're short-staffed tonight. I might be a little late.

I can wait. [Mr. Stringer goes to kiss her until he sees small brown fur on her neck making him leave in disgust] What is it? [Marlene looks in the mirror and squeals in horror]

Mr. Stringer

I'm sorry, madam, but I cannot permit mice in my hotel.

Helga Eveshim

How dare you say that when your rotten hotel is full of rats anyway?

Mr. Stringer

Rats? There are no rats in this hotel!

Helga Eveshim

I saw one this morning running along the corridor, into the kitchens.

Mr. Stringer

Madam, you only arrived in the hotel this afternoon.

Helga Eveshim

Morning, afternoon, I saw a rat in your hotel, and if matters do not improve, I shall have to report you to the public health authorities.

Mr. Stringer

Look, madam, I'm not prepared...

Luke Eveshim

The cakes in the lounge are nibbled around the edges, too. I can show you.

Helga Eveshim

If you are not careful, the health people will order the whole hotel closed before everyone gets typhoid fever.

Mr. Stringer

You can't be serious, madam!

Helga Eveshim

I have never been more serious in my life. Now - will you or will you not let my grandchild keep his hygienic and perfectly harmless pet mice?
