The Law in Her Hands (1936)

Lyle Talbot: Frank 'Legs' Gordon

Quotes 

• Frank 'Legs' Gordon : I'll handle her myself. You guys are all the same. Just like Simelli, you can't forget the rough stuff. Oh, I don't know why I'm so successful with a lot of lame brains like you guys in my organization.

• Frank 'Legs' Gordon : I'm gonna throw her some of my business if she'll handle it. She's a smart dame with plenty of moxie. We could use her.

• Frank 'Legs' Gordon : Did you get away clean?

  Augie Simelli (henchman #1) : I'm here, ain't I? The old Dutchman tried to grab me, but, I hung one on his chin. He went out like a light.

  Frank 'Legs' Gordon : Aw. More rough stuff, eh? I ought to punch you in the nose. He's liable to squawk.

• Frank 'Legs' Gordon : [to Mary]  From now on you're gonna be my mouthpiece. And here's $10,000 - just as kind of a retainer.

• Mary Wentworth : I'm surprised you even wanting to call on a shyster like me.

  Frank 'Legs' Gordon : You're no shyster. You're just a stubborn, pig-headed, wise-cracking, female and you ought to be turned over somebody's knee and have the 'by golly' spanked right out of you!

  Mary Wentworth : Naughty, naughty. I got a legal separation last week for a woman whose husband spanked her.

• Frank 'Legs' Gordon : How's my beautiful mouthpiece this morning?

  Mary Wentworth : All right, but, I wish you'd stop talking like a dentist office.

• Frank 'Legs' Gordon : If it don't work, I'm going to fry. You know that, don't you?
