Gracie Allen: Gracie Allen

Quotes 

• Mrs. Millicent Sohmers : Getting back to these questions, now this is a very general literary quiz which you must pass to qualify for our club.

  Gracie Allen : Oh, I love quizzes! Do the questions have to be answered correctly?

  Mrs. Millicent Sohmers : It would help.

• Mrs. Millicent Sohmers : In order to be sure to make you a member of our club, I brought you these questions and these answers, and before the other members of the committee come, you can take a peek at them.

  Gracie Allen : Well, peeking at the other members wouldn't do any good - but peeking at these answers will!

• Mrs. Millicent Sohmers : I wanted to be sure that you'd memorized the information I left for you so that we could destroy the list before the committee got here, if you know what I mean.

  Gracie Allen : Oh, yes! Oh, you think of everything, Mrs. Sohmers. Your mind is so wonderfully crooked!

• Mrs. Millicent Sohmers : [Gracie is supposed to memorize the answers to a quiz but she instead memorizes the questions]  You didn't learn the answers?

  Gracie Allen : Well, I thought the questions were much more important.

  Mrs. Millicent Sohmers : How did you arrive at that conclusion?

  Gracie Allen : Well, I've been watching a quiz show and I noticed that people who know the answers come and go but the man who knows the questions comes back every week.

• Gracie Allen : In school, I got very good marks in literature and I would've done much better if I wasn't distracted by that little Ernie Bergman.

  George Burns : What did he do to distract you?

  Gracie Allen : Well, how would you feel if the boy who sat in front of you kept dipping his pigtails into the inkwells?

  George Burns : The boy - and he had pigtails?

  Gracie Allen : He used to bring them to school; his father was a butcher.
