Eve ArdenQuotes

Doug Blake: [has just sprung a little boy as an unexpected new roommate on Vi, whose apartment management does not allow children or pets] Vi, isn't he wonderful?

Vivian Martin: Yeah, cutest little lease-breaker I ever saw. Where's his mother?

Doug Blake: She's downstairs, she wasn't sure how you'd take this.

Vivian Martin: Yeah I'll bet.

Terry: You sound very superior. What have you ever done in the theatre?

Eve: Everything but burst out of a pie at a Rotarian banquet.

Terry: You all talk as though the world owed you a living. Maybe if you tried to do something for the theatre, the theatre would do something for you.

Judy: Oh, what theatre!

Another girl: Is there a theatre?

Eve: I don't know. Has anybody looked up the side streets lately?

Terry: It doesn't seem to me that any of you take your work very seriously.

Judy: Well, now that you're here, we're all giving up.

Terry: At least I'm gonna have a try at it. If I can act, I want the world to know it. If I can't, I want to know it.

Eve: Even your best friends won't tell you.

Terry: It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your minds stretched a little further than the next wisecrack.

Eve: You know I tried that once, but it didn't snap back into place.

Terry: The trouble with you is - you're all trying to be comics. Don't you ever take anything seriously?

Judy: If you sat around for a year trying to get a job, you won't take anything seriously either.

Terry: Well, do you have to just sit around and do nothing about it?

Judy: Maybe it's in the blood. My grandfather sat around till he was eighty.

Terry: Well my grandfather didn't and if he and a lot of others hadn't crossed the country in a covered wagon, there'd still be Indians living in Wichita.

Eve: Who do you think's living there now?

Terry: You think you're facing difficulties. What do you think of the men who crossed the Rockies?

One of the girls: Did any of them ever try to crash a manager's office?

Terry: No, but if they'd wanted to, I'm sure they could have and I bet I can too.

Paul Biegler: You're fired.

Maida Rutledge: You can't fire me until you pay me.

Ida Corwin: Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young.

Ida Corwin: When men get around me, they get allergic to wedding rings. You know, big sister type. Good old Ida. You can talk it over with her man to man. I'm getting awfully tired of men talking to me man to man.

Ida Corwin: Personally, I don't think you're the type for the work. But against my better judgment, I'll give you a trial. Now you need white shoes. Ask for nurses regulation. Any of the stores. $2.95. We furnish your uniform but it comes off your first check. $3.95. You get it at cost and keep it laundered. If you don't suit us, we charge you twenty-five cents on the uniform. That comes off your check too. Keep your own tips.

Principal McGee: Oh, Blanche, stop blubbering!

Principal McGee: If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter.

Peerless Pauline: Oh, but, you don't have to go right now, do you?

J. Cheever Loophole: Well, there's nothing to keep me here that I can see, from this angle.

Peerless Pauline: But, we, we hardly know each other. I can be very entertaining if I want to be.

J. Cheever Loophole: [Speaking directly to the camera; [w:Motion Picture Production Code|Hays Office; to Pauline] There must be some way of getting that money without getting in trouble with the ]. Will you walk on your hands?

Peerless Pauline: You're the man I've been dreaming of!

J. Cheever Loophole: What do you eat before you go to bed?

Peerless Pauline: I've waited so long to find someone like you.

J. Cheever Loophole: Oh, someone like me, I'm not good enough for you, eh?
