Quotes
-
Ann Carrington : What's that sound?
Lillian : It's the waves. Angry waves. Day after day, night after night, they beat with savage fury against the black rocks below. For twenty years they've been calling... calling... calling to someone who never answers.
Gail Richards : Just like the Pot of Gold program.
-
Gail Richards : Six more inches and we'd all be singing 'Annie Doesn't Live Here Anymore.'
-
Gail Richards : I'm starved. You forgot we didn't have any dinner.
Lillian : Rama will bring you a tray.
Gail Richards : Oh, any little thing will do. Lobster salad and beer. But, nothing heavy!
-
Rama the Butler : Very sorry, Miss. But, we have no beer. I brought you some wine.
Gail Richards : Wine? Why, that's champagne!
Rama the Butler : Yes, Miss.
Gail Richards : Oh! Put it down, buddy.
-
Gail Richards : What else do you do around here besides wind clocks?
-
Gail Richards : Get your cold feet off my back! You don't need all the covers, do you?
-
Cosmo Topper : Get out of my bed!
Gail Richards : I won't! Not unless you come with me.
Cosmo Topper : You get out of my bed or I'll tell Mrs. Topper.
Gail Richards : What will you tell her?
Cosmo Topper : I'll tell her you're in my bed! Oh, no. I can't very well tell her that.
-
Cosmo Topper : Good heavens, why should anyone want to kill Miss Carrington?
Gail Richards : Well, they killed me, didn't they.
Cosmo Topper : Yes, I can understand that.
-
Rama the Butler : [appearing suddenly on the stoop] Good evening.
Gail Richards : [startled] Why don't you knock before you come out?
-
Lillian : The Chinese Room will be yours, Miss Richards.
Gail Richards : Oh, you're a doll.
Gail Richards : [to Ann] Well, this is just dandy. I travel seven thousand miles just to get away from Chinamen, and here I am with everything but a bowl of rice.
-
Gail Richards : [Getting into Cosmo's car] Mind if I sit on your lap?
Cosmo Topper : Oh, uh, really, my dear young lady...
Ann Carrington : I'm very sorry to inconvenience you but we had a blow-out!
Gail Richards : Ah, this is comfortable. Well, what are we waiting for?
-
Lillian : Good night, Miss Richards.
Gail Richards : Good night.
Lillian : I hope you rest in peace.
Gail Richards : Thank you.
[to Ann]
Gail Richards : Isn't that what they write on tombstones?
-
Gail Richards : Say, what do you have to do to get a bed like this? Rub a magic lamp or somethin'?
-
Gail Richards : Well, its strange I should be dead? I was young and healthy and I felt swell when I went to bed! So, why did I die?
-
Gail Richards : Didn't your Ma ever tell you to knock on a ladies bedroom door before you barge in?
Cosmo Topper : This is most embarrassing. Why couldn't you have stayed the way you were?
Gail Richards : A negligee's hardly appropriate for solving crimes.
-
Gail Richards : Come on, Toppy, we've got things to do!
