And not only a minister's daughter, but a girl from Brooklyn!. Cary Grant (Mortimer Brewster) #Love#Marriage#Disdain#Religion Feb 14 2008 Don't stand there From: Arsenic And Old Lace Mortimer, what in the world is going on around here? I want to know where I stand. –Oh, anywhere, but don't stand there! –But, darling, Niagara Falls! –It does? Well let it! Priscilla Lane (Elaine Harper) | Cary Grant (Mortimer Brewster) #Love#Puns#Frustration Oct 20 2006 Should have quite a kick From: Arsenic And Old Lace Well, dear, for a gallon of elderberry wine I take one teaspoonful of arsenic. Then add half a teaspoonful of strychnine, and then just a pinch of cyanide. –Hmm. Should have quite a kick. Jean Adair (Aunt Martha Brewster) | Cary Grant (Mortimer Brewster) #Alcohol#Poison Jun 27 2006 Would you mind doing something for me? From: The Philadelphia Story Dexter, would you mind doing something for me? –Anything. What? –Get the heck out of here. Katharine Hepburn (Tracy Lord) | Cary Grant (C.K.

The gentleman died because he drank some wine with poison in it. –Well, how did the poison get in the wine? –Well, we put it in wine because it's less noticeable. When it's in tea it has a distinct odor.

From: The Philadelphia Story How about you, Mr. Connor, you drink, don't you? Alcohol, I mean. –Well, a little. –A lit--a little? And you a writer? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
