Blonde Fever (1944)

Philip Dorn: Peter Donay

Quotes 

• Sally Murfin : Oh Mr. Donay, you're a married man. I don't think I should even be talking to you.

  Peter Donay : Don't you know it isn't nice to bring up the fact that a man is married just when he is making love to you?

  Sally Murfin : Why?

• Peter Donay : I think you're lovely, Sally. Far to lovely to end your life before it begins. I think you're born to make wise men foolish and sad men gay.

• Peter Donay : Every night I toss counting the hours until I'll see you again. My throat pounds so I can hardly breath.

  Sally Murfin : Well, that sounds like heartburn. My father's about your age and he has trouble sleeping, too.

  Peter Donay : [startled, flustered look] 

• Sally Murfin : Gee, Mr. Donay, when you come so close to me like that, it's hard for me to tell you what I got to tell you.

  Peter Donay : Your eyes tell me everything I want to know.

  Sally Murfin : I don't know what you mean, Mr. Donay.

  Peter Donay : Of course you don't. Men spend their whole lives being destroyed by inferior creatures who can't understand plain English.

  Sally Murfin : But, you don't speak plain English, Mr. Donay. And I never meant to destroy anybody. I just try going my own way, minding my own business, doing the best I - I can.

  Peter Donay : Like a Panzer division.

• Peter Donay : Well, I don't know what's going to happen. I can't keep my eye on everybody around here.

  Johnny : No, sir. Not everybody.

• Peter Donay : All I want is - is to be left alone.

• Delilah Donay : Have a fling! We can afford it.

  Peter Donay : I don't want a fling.

• Sally Murfin : You don't need to worry about us knowing you're worried, Mr. Donay.

  Peter Donay : I'm not worried.

• Peter Donay : Ever since the lottery I seem to be on every sucker list in America.

• Peter Donay : You came here to plead for your dashing, masterful, hot-tempered, fire-eating, renegade lover!

  Sally Murfin : Are you talking about Freddie?

• Peter Donay : I can't bear them standing there beaming and fiddling!

  Delilah Donay : While you burn?

• Delilah Donay : I'm being to take to this whole idea. After all, at a dance, one does change partners.

  Peter Donay : Life is not a dance!

  Sally Murfin : Life is what we make it.

  Delilah Donay : We?

• Delilah Donay : Can't we deal with this thing like civilized people?

  Peter Donay : In the last 12 hours, I've come to the conclusion that when women get civilized that we are really reverting to the law of the jungle.
