Kay Medford: Happy

Quotes 

• Weston Liggett : [to Gloria]  Happy was in vaudeville once. I'll tell you about it later.

  Happy : In vaudeville? I *was* vaudeville. You should see my scrapbooks!

• Happy : What's the matter? I'm boring you? Hey, you live it up. You kick up your heels. You grab everything you can get. You "light the candle from one end to the other," like they say. And then one day, you too can be the proud proprietor of a very heavily mortgaged, roadside brothel - and wish you were dead.

• Happy : So what was I saying? Oh, yeah. So she said to herself, "You get in solid with the director. He puts you in solid with the producer. And pretty soon you wind up with a big part in the show". So two days, or should I say, two nights later, she was in, but solid. Yeah, with the director, with his cousin. She was so busy being in solid with every Tom, Dick, and Harry and his Uncle George. She wouldn't recognize a producer if she found one right under her pillow!
