Trivia and QuotesQuotes Roger: Good morning, good morning. It`s a great day out.
Philip Shayne: God, you`re very happy, Roger. You`d better check that with Dr. Gruber, it might be something serious.
Roger: I had a wonderful night`s rest. You know the trouble I have sleeping? Well, I`ve solved it. Just before you go to bed you put three tranquilizers in a jigger of brandy and you drink it. You still can`t sleep but you`re so relaxed that you don`t worry about it. It was exhilarating.
Philip Shayne: Fancy that. And some people just go to sleep and never know what they`re missing.
Philip Shayne: That`s what I like about you, Roger. No matter what calamity befalls your fellow man you`re still able to laugh about it. Connie Emerson: [talking to Cathy] For 2000 years we`ve had their children, washed their clothes, cooked their meals and cleaned their houses. And what did they give us in return? The right to smoke in public. We sold out for a cigarette - and you don`t even smoke! Cathy Timberlake: How would you feel? Here I am, he practically runs me down and then drives right away! And doesn`t have the decency to apologise himself. Furthermore I have a job interview and have to go like this. He doesn`t care.
Roger: Ohhh...
Cathy Timberlake: You know what I`d like to do?
Roger: Throw the money in his face?
Cathy Timberlake: Exactly! I`d like to throw that money right in his face.
Roger: Would you?
Cathy Timberlake: Yes, I would.
Roger: I`ve waited seven years for this moment. You come with me! Mr. Everett Beasley: Oh! Well, Miss Timberlake, back again for a little of the taxpayers` money, hmm? So did you work last week?
Cathy Timberlake: No.
Mr. Everett Beasley: Are you available for work?
Cathy Timberlake: Yes.
Mr. Everett Beasley: Did you turn down any jobs?
Cathy Timberlake: No.
Mr. Everett Beasley: Are you busy tonight?
Cathy Timberlake: Yes.
Mr. Everett Beasley: If, in our opinion, the applicant hasn`t exercised proper diligence in seeking employment, we can withhold payment of checks... Perhaps tomorrow night? There`s a wonderful little diner round the corner from where I live and after dinner we could, uh, well... perhaps...
Cathy Timberlake: Go up to your apartment?
Mr. Everett Beasley: Well, I, uh...
Cathy Timberlake: If you want me to go up to your apartment, come out and ask. That way I can think about it and make a decision.
Mr. Everett Beasley: Would you like to stop off at my place?
Cathy Timberlake: May I have my check?
Mr. Everett Beasley: Oh. Of course. Well?
Cathy Timberlake: I would enjoy going out with you, Mr Beasley... if I didn`t find you so personally distasteful. You`re a sneaky, crude, offensive man. That`s just how I feel. I`m sure there are hundreds of girls who admire those qualities. Connie Emerson: He`s so low that when they bury him, they`ll have to dig UP! Doctor Gruber: Cancel that order for Consolidated Wire! My informant has developed some instabilities which makes his judgment questionable. Philip Shayne: The Four Horsemen now have a riding companion. There`s War, Famine, Death, Pestilence, and Miss Timberlake! Cathy Timberlake: [very drunk] Do you like the way I walk?
Philip Shayne: Poetry in motion.
Cathy Timberlake: I learned when I was a baby, been walking for years. Connie Emerson: Men take one look at you and all of a sudden their wives don`t understand them.Trivia Rock Hudson had expected to be cast as Philip, but director Delbert Mann wanted Cary Grant. When Roger (Gig Young)is showing Cathy (Doris Day) the list of potential husbands for her, we learn that one of the names on the list is Rock Hudson, Day`s co-star in Pillow Talk (1959), Lover Come Back (1961) and Send Me No Flowers (1964). In her autobiography, Doris Day wrote that Cary Grant was very professional and exacting with details, helping her with her wardrobe choices for the film and decorating the library set with his own books from home. However, he was a completely private person, totally reserved, and very distant. Their relationship on this film was amicable but totally devoid of give-and-take. Cary Grant was a big fan of "The Honeymooners" (1955) and Audrey Meadows in particular, and was responsible for getting her the part of Connie. | ||
