Stompin' at the Savoy (1992 TV Movie)

Blake A. Edwards: Paul Rothstein

Quotes 

• Paul Rothstein : [while Alice scrubs the floors]  So, where is everybody?

  Alice : [rises from the floor and moves to the sink]  Your mother went shopping.

  Paul Rothstein : [moves forward, wrapping his arms around Alice's waist]  Alone at last.

  Alice : [recoiling from his touch]  Boy, quit! And watch where you're walking. I just scrubbed this.

  Paul Rothstein : Alice, I like you. I really like you.

  Alice : What would your mother do if she was on the other side of that door listening? Probably die. I don't know why you keep bothering me.

  Paul Rothstein : Because I like you. And it doesn't matter that you're colored.

  Alice : [tensely]  Not much it don't. I'm light, so to you that makes me better. Still colored, but better. A lot of colored people think that way too, Paul. But I don't.
