Symbol of bachelorhood

From: Arsenic And Old Lace

Don't you understand? How can I marry you? Me, the symbol of bachelorhood! I've sneered at every love scene in every play. I've written four million words against marriage. Not only hooked, but to a minister's daughter! And not only a minister's daughter, but a girl from Brooklyn!.

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.

How did he die?

From: Arsenic And Old Lace

Now look, darling, how did he die? –Oh, Mortimer, don't be so inquisitive. 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.

A full pardon

From: The Philadelphia Story

Sometimes, for your own sake, Red, I think you should've stuck to me longer. –I thought it was for life, but the nice judge gave me a full pardon. –Aaah, that's the old redhead. No bitterness, no recrimination, just a good swift left to the jaw.

And you a writer?

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. I thought all writers drank to excess and beat their wives. You know, at one time I think I secretly wanted to be a writer.

Time off between shots

From: Hollywood Celebrity Pleas

We're taking time off between shots to do our Christmas wrapping. –Every time you put a Christmas Seal on a package, you're buying a present of good health for someone all through the year. These Seals are coming to you right now in the mail. When you get them, send a check... and make it a generous one. (from the set of The Bishop's Wife)
