 Miriam Hopkins Quotation"I'm a bad judge of a play or film. I turned down 'It Happened One Night'. It won Claudette Colbert an Oscar. I said it was just a silly comedy." Movie Title: The Story of Temple Drake (1933) as Temple Drake: Temple Drake : Why do you keep the baby in the wood box? Ruby Lemar : So the rats don't get it. Movie Title: The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) as Princess Anna: King Adolf XV : This is unheard of. Flausenthurm without an "h?" Don't they know, in Vienna, how to spell my country? Princess Anna : It's a deliberate insult, Papa. They're trying to make us feel, just because we've a little country, we shouldn't have so many letters. Princess Anna : I don't know very much about life. I got all my knowledge out of the Royal Encyclopedia. A special edition arranged for Flausenthurm, with all the interesting things left out. Princess Anna : Papa, you may not realize it, but I'm desperate. I'm no longer responsible. I'm capable of anything. If you don't let me have my Lieutenant, do you know what I'm going to do? King Adolf XV : What? Princess Anna : I'm going to marry an American! King Adolf XV : Let me tell you, that schnitzel came from an imported Viennese cow. Princess Anna : Imported especially for you. Lieutenant Niki : Poor cow. To start life in Vienna and end it in Flausenthurm. King Adolf XV : So that's what she does, eh? Plays the violin? Princess Anna : Yes, papa. And in public! Tell me, papa, be frank do all girls like that play the violin? King Adolf XV : Not necessarily, but I'll tell you one thing: they play! Princess Anna : I love him so dearly. Franzi : I'm just wild about him. Princess Anna : Isn't he good-looking? Franzi : Oh, and how! Princess Anna : That's it exactly! And how! Did you see him in his new uniform? Franzi : At the wedding? Stunning! Princess Anna : But to tell you the truth, I like him even better in his dinner-coat. Franzi : With the straw hat? Princess Anna : Yes, with the straw hat! Franzi : Oh, that's nothing. Did you ever see him in... oh, never mind! Movie Title: Design for Living (1933) as Gilda Farrell: Gilda Farrell : A thing happened to me that usually happens to men. You see, a man can meet two, three or four women and fall in love with all of them, and then, by a process of interesting elimination, he is able to decide which he prefers. But a woman must decide purely on instinct, guesswork, if she wants to be considered nice. Gilda Farrell : Boys, it's the only thing we can do. Let's forget sex. Gilda Farrell : It's true we had a gentleman's agreement, but unfortunately, I am no gentleman. Max Plunkett : Do you love me? Gilda Farrell : Oh, Max, people should not ask that question on their wedding night. It's either too late or too early. Tom Chambers : It's amazing how a few insults can bring people together in three hours. Gilda Farrell : It was certainly good to hear all the names you called me. I haven't heard them since I left father and mother. Gilda Farrell : You see, George, you're sort of like a ragged straw hat with a very soft lining. A little bit out of shape, very dashing to look at, and very comfortable to wear. And you, Tom, piquant, perched over one eye, and has to be watched on windy days. And both so becoming. Gilda Farrell : I'm sick of being a trademark married to a slogan. Movie Title: The Heiress (1949) as Aunt Penniman: Aunt Penniman : Now, Catherine, if you will stay by me this evening, you will see that what I say is not always of the greatest importance, but dear, that doesn't keep me from talking. Movie Title: Trouble in Paradise (1932) as Lily Vautier: Lily Vautier : You know, when I first saw you, I thought you were an American. Gaston Monescu : Thank you. Lily Vautier : Someone from another world, so entirely different. Oh, one gets so tired of one's own class--princes and counts and dukes and kings! Everybody talking shop. Always trying to sell you jewelry. Then I heard your name and found out you were just one of us. Gaston Monescu : Disappointed? Lily Vautier : No, proud. Very proud. Lily Vautier : I have a confession to make to you: Baron, you are a crook. You robbed the gentleman in 253, 5, 7 and 9. May I have the salt? Gaston Monescu : Please! Lily Vautier : Thank you. Gaston Monescu : The pepper too? Lily Vautier : Oh, no, thank you. Gaston Monescu : You're very welcome. Countess, believe me, before you left this room, I would have told you everything. And let me say this, with love in my heart: Countess, you are a thief. The wallet of the gentleman in 253, 5, 7 and 9 is in your possession. I knew it very well when you took it out of my pocket. In fact, you tickled me. But your embrace was so sweet. Lily Vautier : You see, mother is dead. Mariette Colet : Yes, that's the trouble with mothers. First you get to like them, and then they die. Gaston Monescu : Well, what did she want? Lily Vautier : You. And she's willing to pay as high as 50 francs. Lily Vautier : Darling, remember, you are Gaston Monescu. You are a crook. I want you as a crook. I love you as a crook. I worship you as a crook. Steal, swindle, rob. Oh, but don't become one of those useless, good-for-nothing gigolos. Lily Vautier : Well, I'll leave you alone with that lady. But if you behave like a gentleman, I'll break your neck. |
