Quotes 

• Tim Harveigh : Don't worry, Red, we'll get you out of it. All we have to do is dig up some legal talent.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Say, haven't you got a nephew who's a lawyer?

  Tim Harveigh : Yeah, but we want to get you out of it.

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Darndest thing, that Maguire temper. Always seems to skip a generation. Take my father, for instance. Meek and mild as a lamb. His father was a bruiser. Knocked out Fitzsimmons in Butte, Montana.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : Montana.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Of course, it wasn't in the ring, it was in a saloon. And he wasn't wearing gloves, he hit him with a cuspidor.

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Say, how come you've never been married?

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : Well... hnh?

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : You know you're not the youngest thing in town.

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Say, haven't you got a nephew who's a lawyer?

  Tim Harveigh : Yeah, but we wanna get you out of it.

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : [Asking Andy Hale about the women he had dated]  What are they like?

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : You know - standard equipment.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Then why haven't you ever been married?

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : They were either too standard or not enough equipment.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Oh... .OH!

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : I suppose you can tell by now that I'm a pretty forthright person.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : Yes, you certainly are.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : And, if I have anything to say, I come right out and say it.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : I'm sure you do.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : I have an instinct for these things, and I kind of feel that there's a little something cooking between us.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : Tha... Really?

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : I'm sorry. I guess I should have warned you about Herman.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : I don't know why. He's only a man-eating lion.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Herman? Aw, he's just a crazy old pussy cat.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : Does pussy cat have the run of the house?

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Well, he only came in because he thought it was time for dinner.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : He was looking at me like I was on the menu.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : We've had him since he was a little thing. He was brought up on milk.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : So was I, but I learned to eat meat later.

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : If I ran him over with an automobile, would I stuff him and put him on the wall?

  Arthur 'Artie' Colner Maxwell : Well, just the head and shoulders.

• Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : Don't look now, but pussy cat's back.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Now really, you can't be afraid of Herman.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : Can't, huh?

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : No. Just turn and tell hm to go away.

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : I tell you, Hale, before you waste all that time and money, I think it's much smarter to find out if there's anything there or not. Don't you?

• Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : [Having a problem shooing Herman away]  He doesn't hear very well.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Show your authority. Let him know who's master.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : He seems to know.

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Is it all right to get up now?

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : The broom! The broom!

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : What does she want me to do with it?

  Arthur 'Artie' Colner Maxwell : Wave it!

• Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : I think I've got some wonderful news for your father.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Wonderful!

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : How've you been?

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Wonderful.

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : Wonderful!

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : You?

  Andrew 'Andy' Rockton Hale : Wonderful.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Wonderful!

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : This is a fine and courageous thing he's done.

  Arthur 'Artie' Colner Maxwell : Greatness doesn't care who wears its mantle.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : It's true. There is a kind of simple nobility about him.

  Arthur 'Artie' Colner Maxwell : There's a bit of Abe Lincoln in that boy. He places honor and duty above dollars and cents.

  Leon : That I can vouch for.

• Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Tim, you just gotta help.

  Tim Harveigh : When I think of some of the things women have talked me into the past 49 years.

  Kathleen 'Kathy' Maguire : Well, I'll bet they're not bad.
