David Niven: Tony Stewart

Quotes 

• Tony Stewart : Ma, let me have a good look at you. That's an incredible outfit! Whose mother do you think you are, Whistler's?

  Ma Baker : Never mind. I got you sprung didn't I?

  Tony Stewart : Well, I'm sprung all right, but you could frighten the horses going around looking like that.

• Mervyn : I had a cousin like that once - a real artist. He was in the habit of putting a wart on Jackson's nose, so that the trade would know who had done the plates. Pretty soon the T-Men found out, too. My cousin, he pulled 10 to 20.

  Tony Stewart : What a facinating anecdote. Has a moral, too. If you want to forge ahead, don't change the features.

• Ma Baker : This is the first time you've ever had trouble turning a fast buck.

  Tony Stewart : It's the first time I ever tried turning a fast buck the honest way.

  Mervyn : Rough, huh?

  Tony Stewart : Rough. I've knocked on so many doors, I've got water on the knuckles.

• Tony Stewart : It's not going to bring in the kind of money we need, but I'm going to have to go to work.

  Mervyn : A job!

  Tony Stewart : They go hand in hand, Mervyn.
