Carnival Story (1954)

Steve Cochran: Joe Hammond

Quotes 

• Joe Hammond : What's the matter? What's this? You've been kissed before...

  Willie : What difference does that make? If I'd been married before, would that make you wanna marry me? If I'd been hurt before, would that make you wanna hurt me?

• Peggy : Hi, lover. Did you miss me?

  Joe Hammond : Miss you? I couldn't eat; couldn't sleep, couldn't drink...

  Peggy : Uh-huh. Couldn't even write, you muscle-bound ape.

• Joe Hammond : [grabbing her by the shoulders]  You're stuck with me, baby. And you know it. Whatever I am, we're both made of the same kind of stuff.

  Willie : [she pushes him away]  We are not! I'm not *dirty* like you. When I stole your money I was hungry. Whatever I've done wrong shames me. But *you,* you love to *wallow* in the mud.

  [quietly] 

  Willie : You've been paid in full. Now get out of here.
