Quotes

Two of my favorites from this film (both spoken by the great Eugene Pallette as Mr. Bullock) are two of my all-time favorites from any film...

"All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people."

"Life in this family is one subpoena after another."

I also love when Molly (the maid) brings the drinks into the living room when the police are investigating the mising pearls...
Detective: "Who are you?"
Molly: "Guess."

... the greatest one-word wisecrack ever!

I LOVE this movie! My favorite line is my signature! I also love "There's no sense in sruggling against a thing when it's got you. It's got you and that's all there is to it- it's got you." (Irene) Also Godfrey and Irene talking in his bedroom (Godfrey)"Didn't your mother or anyone teach you that some things are proper and some things are not?" (Irene) "No she didn't. She rambles on quite a bit, but then she never says anything." There's so many. I could go on and on....

"All you need to start an Asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people"-(My Man Godfrey)

Godfrey's quote re "filling the void created by the death of your late, lamented pomeranian"

"You look as though you had a job too. What is this, an epidemic?"

"He left very hurriedly through the side window"

All very funny quotes.

Mine would be everything Irene says after Godfrey has turned her down. Her whole 'depressed' stage is hilarious......

Godfrey - These flowers just came for you, miss. Where shall I put them?

Irene - What difference does it make when one's heart is breaking?

Godfrey - Yes, miss. Shall I put them on the piano?

Irene - Life is but an empty bubble.


"All I have to say is, some people will be sorry someday."

"Some people will know for what, and then it will be too late."

"What difference does it make? Some people do as they like...with other people's lives, and it doesn't make any difference."

"Listen, Van Rumple, just because some people have a million dollars...doesn't mean they can put their arms around other people."

"Well, if other people can have five children, so can other people."

it's "pixie-remover juice"

One of my favorites is when Cornelia snottily says to Godfrey: "There's a spot on my shoe." I find that line hilarious. The delivery is so good. I adore Cornelia.

I also love when Mrs. Bullock tries to comfort Irene (after Carlo lopes around in his gorilla act) and she says: "Now, now, Carlo isn't really a gorilla." It's so ridiculous! As if an adult needed to be told Carlo wasn't really a gorilla. Makes me laugh every time.
