Memorable Quotes from Dan Duryea
8 quotesMisunderstanding in a Baseball Conversation
Hank Hanneman
That Gehrig's the chump of all time. Falling for a gag like that.
Sam Blake
Aw, he doesn't know about a gag.
Hank Hanneman
Yeah? What does he know about, Mr. Bones?
Sam Blake
Baseball.
Hank Hanneman
He knows... I'll tell ya somethin'. A guy like that is a detriment to any sport. He's a boob with a batting eye. He wakes up, brushes his teeth, hikes out to the ballpark, hits the ball, hikes back to the hotel room, reads the funny papers, gargles and goes to bed. That's personality, hm?
Sam Blake
The best.
Hank Hanneman
A real hero.
Sam Blake
Let me tell you about heroes, Hank. I've covered a lot of em, and I'm saying Gehrig is the best of em. No front-page scandals, no daffy excitements, no horn-piping in the spotlight...
Hank Hanneman
No nothing.
Sam Blake
...but a guy who does his job and nothing else. He lives for his job. He gets a lot of fun out of it. And fifty million other people get a lot of fun out of him, watching him do something better than anybody else ever did it before.
Hank Hanneman
You'd be right, Sam, if all baseball fans were as big boobs as Gehrig.
Sam Blake
They are. The same kinda boobs as Gehrig. Only without a batting eye. That's why I'm putting my money on Gehrig.
