Lady by Choice (1934)

Arthur Hohl: Kendall

Quotes 

• Kendall : Can't you ever get serious? Are you gonna be a goose all your life?

  Alabam Lee : Yeah and I'm the kind of goose that's apt to lay gold eggs on a minutes notice.

  Kendall : Don't flatter yourself. They're only gold plated since they took that fan away from you.

  Alabam Lee : Is that so? Remember that it's me they come to see at the Montmartre, not the fan.

• Kendall : Cut out the magnolia dialect you crummy old beer guzzler.

  Patricia 'Patsy' Patterson : Crummy old beer guzzler? You dirty low down, floor flusher! You rotten, yellow dog! What kind of language is that to use to a lady?

  Kendall : Lady? Huh! I know just who you are and just what gutter you came out of!

• Kendall : Even at two-fifty a week runs to over ten grand a year. That's a whole lot better than the ten cents a dance you were getting when I first ran into you. That's where you started and if you let this old battle axe hang around you, that's where you'll end up.

• Kendall : Have you still got that old fan of your's?

  Alabam Lee : Yes. It's in mothballs, but, it's just as good as ever.

  Kendall : Well, dig it up. I'll put you on at the club tonight.
