J. Edward Bromberg Quotes

Don Luis B. Quintero My wife, senor.

Don Diego Vega Your Excellency is a very fortunate man.

Don Luis B. Quintero I'm not so sure. She thinks pesos grow on mulberry trees.

Julian Julian Do you think your wife committed suicide?

Wayne Fletcher I don't... really know what to think.

Julian Julian Your wife was murdered, Mr. Fletcher. I instructed her to rest before coming to my studio for tonight's experiment... and then... I seemed to receive a message from her... I knew she had come to harm. I;m sure she was trying to contact me... from the other side.

Gabby Fishers went sailin out into the West, out into the West as the sun goes down; each thought on the woman who lov'd him best. And the children stood watchin them out of the town. For men must work, and women must weep, and there's little to earn, and many to keep, though the harbor bar be moanin'. Three wives sat up in the light-house tower, and they trimm'd the lamp as the sun went down. They look'd at the squall, and they look'd at the shower, and the night rack came rolling up ragged and brown! Three corpses lay out on the shining sand, in the morning gleam as the town went down. And the women are weepin and wringin their hands for those who will never come back to the town; for men must work, and women must weep, and the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep - and good-by to the bar and its moanin'.

Don Diego Vega They heated the water from my bath too early. It was positively tepid! By the time more was carried and properly scented... Life can be trying, don't you think?

Don Luis B. Quintero Yes.

Lolita Quintero Oh, Maria!

Maria de Lopez Courage, courage!

Don Luis B. Quintero Well, shall we dine? Come, Diego.

Captain Esteban Pasquale His bath was tepid? Poor Lolita! I'm afraid her married life will be the same!

Captain McCracken I owe you a vote of thanks for helping us expose Fletcher. That psychic abracadabra of yours is quite a thing.

Julian Julian My dear fellow, the word abracadabra is anathema to the true believer in the occult.

Gabby For men must work... and women... must weep!

Captain McCracken Oh, by the way, just for the record, what is your real moniker?

Julian Julian Julian.

Captain McCracken Julian what?

Julian Julian Julian Julian.

Captain McCracken You're in a rut.

Don Luis B. Quintero My dear Esteban is forever thrusting at this and at that. He used to be a fencing instructor in Barcelona.

Don Diego Vega How exhausting.

Captain Esteban Pasquale I didn't find it so.

Don Diego Vega Then why did you give it up?

Captain Esteban Pasquale I had the misfortune to kill a man of influence.

Don Luis B. Quintero A lady was involved, I believe.

Don Diego Vega The gentleman's wife, no doubt?

Captain Esteban Pasquale Just how did you mean that, Señor?

Don Diego Vega I had hoped to be amusing... Have I failed?

Captain Esteban Pasquale Somewhat. With me.
