Quotes 

• 'Flips' Montague : Hello, Countess.

  The Countess : Oh, hello Flips! Where you been all the time?

  'Flips' Montague : The last couple of days they've been shootin' scenes that I'm not in. So, I had my hair cleaned and pressed and here I am.

• The Countess : The old place ain't the same without what's-his-name.

  'Flips' Montague : Who?

  The Countess : The Sheik of Simsbury.

• 'Flips' Montague : Look, if I get you a ticket back to Simsbury, will you go?

  Merton Gill : Oh, no.

  'Flips' Montague : For the love of Pete, why not?

  Merton Gill : I couldn't. Not the way I feel about pictures. I mean, just think, making millions of people happy everyday, the way Buck Benson does. Even trying to do it, that's worth sacrificin' and sufferin' for it, isn't it?

  'Flips' Montague : Oh, I don't know whether its blind courage or supreme dumbness. Oh, how I hate pictures.

• Merton Gill : Do taxi cabs charge for just standing still?

  'Flips' Montague : Yes, why?

  Merton Gill : Well, it's worth it.

  [Buries his head in her chest] 

• 'Flips' Montague : Did anyone ever tell you that the picture game is a pretty tough racket?

• 'Flips' Montague : Now, listen, kid, I bet you think I'm hard boiled, don't cha? Well, maybe I am. Its just 'cause I know what its all about, that's all. Don't feel bad when I tell you, that, that you haven't got a Chinaman's chance.

• 'Flips' Montague : Serves you right, you big lug!

• 'Flips' Montague : Easy, Trooper. You sure had mother guessing for a minute.
