Sullivan's Travels - Discussion about the swimming pool location
The Girl: [Sullivan and the girl are walking through his palatial mansion]
Where's the swimming pool? You must have a swimming pool.
John L. Sullivan:
Right out here.
John L. Sullivan:
Outside dining room, barbecue.
The Girl:
Hmm.
John L. Sullivan:
Pretty, isn't it?
The Girl:
Yeah.
John L. Sullivan:
There's the tennis court up there, grape arbor there, and the grove there. Well, I guess that's about all. What are you looking at me that way for?
John L. Sullivan: [falls into the swimming pool]
Ooh!
The Girl:
Hey, you big fathead!
John L. Sullivan:
What's the big idea?
The Girl:
That's for your swimming pools and your tennis courts and your limousines and your barbecues. That's for making fun of a poor girl who only tried to help you, you big faker!
John L. Sullivan:
Who made fun of you?
The Girl:
You did, with your stories of being a washed-up director, you big clunk!
John L. Sullivan:
Oh I did, did I?
Burrows:
Breakfast is served, sir.

Sullivan's Travels - Reflection on Wealth and Human Connection
Las Vegas Diner Counterman: [Giving the obviously broke Sully and girl each coffee and a donut]
I'll never get rich.
The Girl:
Oh, gee.
John L. Sullivan:
You're a little richer than you were. Hundreds of miles from everything. Cut off from the world, a taste of human kindness. I'll never forget it as long as I live. What town is this?

And I'll go with you.

How can I be alone if you're with me?

Sullivan's Travels - A Humorous Take on Social Interactions
The Girl:
You know, the nice thing about buying food for a man is that you don't have to listen to his jokes. Just think, if you were some big shot like a casting director or something, I'd be staring into your bridgework saying Yes, Mr. Smearcase. No, Mr. Smearcase. Not really, Mr. Smearcase! Oh, Mr. Smearcase, that's my knee! Give Mr. Smearcase another cup of coffee. Make it two. Want a piece of pie?
John L. Sullivan:
No thanks, kid.
The Girl:
Why, Mr. Smearcase, aren't you getting a little familiar?

What's in Malibu?
Joyce Harwood:
Houses, people. I have some friends there.
