Holiday in Mexico (1946)

Jane Powell: Christine Evans

Quotes 

• Stanley Owen : Christine, what happened to your face? Why you look so horrible ?

  Christine Evans : What ? Oh that's because I'm not dressed yet that's all. All girls look like this before they're dressed.

  Stanley Owen : They do? Christine, I think that's deceitful

  Yvette Baranga : Bon soir Stanley.

  Stanley Owen : Yvette, before you are dressed, do you look horrible?

• Christine Evans : [to the embassy household staff]  Now, just remember what father says - a well-organized household is distinguished by its unity.

• Jeffrey Evans : Hey, uh, when did I make that speech about the well-organized household?

  Christine Evans : Well, you might have at one time or another.

• Christine Evans : Well, you're just getting too good, your excellency. I may have to start looking for an ambassador who'll need me more than you do.

  Jeffrey Evans : You'll never find one, darling.

• Jeffrey Evans : Is Stanley pretty upset over your going?

  Christine Evans : Yes.

  Jeffrey Evans : Well, you've hurt him a lot lately - once more won't kill him.

  Christine Evans : But I never meant to hurt his feelings.

  Jeffrey Evans : You know, uh, if you hurt someone, it doesn't matter very much whether you meant to or not.

• Jeffrey Evans : I'll tell you why you're running away - because you're embarrassed. You can't bear the idea of having to face Mr. Iturbi again... or me... or even Stanley. Because you, well, you uh, you've made a fool of yourself. And, as a matter of fact, darling, you have.

  Christine Evans : Father, I thought you'd be more understanding.

  Jeffrey Evans : Would it be more understanding if I pretended you hadn't made a fool of yourself -- when we both know you have? Remember this, darling. Everyone... everyone makes a fool of himself at one time or another - many times.

• Christine Evans : Nothing turns out the way one expects, does it?

  José Iturbi : Often it's because one expects the wrong thing.
