Svengali (1931)

Luis Alberni: Gecko

Quotes 

• Gecko : Maestro, I don't know what we are going to do. We have borrowed from everyone we know. We cannot go back to Bernard's. He will throw us out.

  Svengali : Oh, possibly, possibly... But there are other people... Our English friends - - they have not enjoyed the *fragrance* of our society, for a week. We will go there.

  Gecko : But Maestro, the last time we were there, Monsieur Taffy, and Monsieur the Laird, and even little Billie... he's so kind.

  Svengali : Now listen. Gecko. You know, the trouble with you is you have not sufficient optimism. Little things discourage you. Remember, in the bright lexicon of youth, there is no such word... as "Fail."
