Quotes from Joel McCrea's Characters

    1. The Girl: You've taken all the joy out of life. I was all through with this kind of stuff. I mean, I knew I'd never have it - but there was no envy in my heart. I'd found a friend who'd swipe a car to take me home..., now I'm right back where I started: just an extra-girl having breakfast with a director. Only I didn't used to have breakfast with them. Maybe that was my trouble.
    2. John L. Sullivan: Did they ever ask you to?
    3. The Girl: No
    4. John L. Sullivan: Well then don't pat yourself on the back.
    5. The Girl: Take me with you.
    6. John L. Sullivan: What?
    From Sullivan's Travels. Submitted by Christopher B (3 months ago)
    1. The Girl: I'm sorry I pushed you in the water too.
    2. John L. Sullivan: I probably needed it.
    3. The Girl: You certainly did.
    4. John L. Sullivan: Did I?
    5. The Girl: I didn't mind you. In fact, I had kind of a yin for you.
    6. John L. Sullivan: You have?
    7. The Girl: Not in that thing. I liked you better as a tramp.
    8. John L. Sullivan: Well I can't help the kind of people you like.
