Applause (1929)

Roy Hargrave: Slim Lamont

Quotes 

• Slim Lamont : You got a great Mamas, darling! And believe me, she sure knows her stuff. That Swedish movement of hers has been laying them in the aisles ever since I was a pup.

  April Darling : Swedish movement?

  Slim Lamont : I mean the way Kitty slams over a number. And boy, she packs the meanest strip and tease routine that ever burned up a runway! You know what I mean.

  April Darling : Well no, not exactly.

• Slim Lamont : This is a swell night to be going to a stag smoker. Thought you were going to try to get me out of it.

  Hitch Nelson : Well I argued with Gus but it didn't do no good.

  Slim Lamont : A good husband you are; letting Gus send your wife to shake for a mob of Bronx gorillas, on such a hot night.

  Hitch Nelson : Well, fifty bucks is fifty bucks!
