Arline Judge: Jerry Royal

Quotes 

• Jerry Royal : You can't make a silk purse out of a horse's... neck.

• Jerry Royal : [Upon being invited into Dale's nicely appointed suite at the Washington Hotel, Panama]  . Boy, what a dump *this* is. Never saw so much plush since Astor's pet horse died.

• Jerry Royal : Heaven help a sailor on a night like this.

  Dale Jordan : I thought you said you'd sworn off on sailors.

  Jerry Royal : Well, a girl's gotta have some practice. Some of those sailors are pretty good. At practice.

• Jerry Royal : [after the girls have just thrown out a lecherous man]  Say, you're no babe in rompers, you can take care of yourself... only your technique's old-fashioned.

  Dale Jordan : Old-fashioned?

  Jerry Royal : Yeah, that, that, uh, face-slapping gag, it's amateurish. It's all right for them parlor books and all that... but, say, when a goof makes a pass at me I hops to him and gives him a right hook to the kisser. You know you gotta be prepared for things like that when you get in a troop with Trixie.

  Dale Jordan : Maybe I should've studied boxing instead of singing.

  Jerry Royal : You think you're kiddin'? Maybe you'll wish you had. You're gonna meet plenty of palookas.

  Dale Jordan : Gee, you make it sound pretty terrible.

  Jerry Royal : Aw, gee, kid. I didn't mean to scare ya. You just tie onto Jerry's apron strings and everything will be all right. You know, Jerry knows her onions... and her tamales too!

  [Dale laughs] 

• Jerry Royal : [to Trixie, who was just about to hit Dale with a bottle]  You raise that bottle one inch and I'll knock those false teeth of yours down your gizzard.

• Jerry Royal : [after Trixie's been berating Dale]  Now listen, Trixie. You lay offa Dale, she's been through enough.

  Trixie Snell : Say, you get fresh with me and you'll go out on your ear too!

  Jerry Royal : Oh yeahh?

  Trixie Snell : Yeah, you, you sailor's delight!

  [Jerry slaps Trixie then snaps her fingers in her face]
