The Wayward Bus (1957)

Kathryn Givney: Mrs. Elliott (Bernice) Pritchard

Quotes 

• Elliott Pritchard : Would you leave her alone, Bernice. We've done enough as it is.

  Mrs. Elliott (Bernice) Pritchard : You know why she was talking to that bus driver, don't you?

  Elliott Pritchard : Because she spilled his coffee.

  Mrs. Elliott (Bernice) Pritchard : She was doing it to test us to see if we care about her. She's still a child looking for her father.

  Elliott Pritchard : Then she better put on her bifocals because I'm right here.

• Johnny Chicoy : [after the bus avoids a crash and comes to a stand still]  Sorry folks.

  Van Brunt : Sorry? By the purist luck we didn't turn turtle!

  Ernest Horton : He coulda killed all of us.

  Van Brunt : I had you figured for a better man.

  Ernest Horton : A better driver anyway. Awful.

  Ed 'Pimples' Carson : He did real good, mister. I'd like to see you drive that good with water in the brake drum.

  Van Brunt : Why didn't he get 'em fixed?

  Mrs. Elliott (Bernice) Pritchard : Bringing us on this road was criminal negligence.

  Elliott Pritchard : It certainly was.

  Van Brunt : It isn't this road. It's the equipment. This should have been condemned long ago.

  Elliott Pritchard : What should have been condemned was that fool bus driver.
