Alberta Marlow Quotes in Across the Pacific (1942)

Rick Leland: Hey, are you getting sick?

Alberta Marlow: I don't know. How do girls usually act when you kiss them?

Rick Leland: Well, they don't turn green.

Alberta Marlow: Then I'm sick. Get me out of here.

Alberta Marlow: Well if anyone heard you complaining about it they would put you in a psychopathic ward.

Alberta Marlow: We were discussing Philippine economics when we were so rudely interrupted.

Dr. Lorenz: My own field! Miss Marlowe was kind enough to listen to me.

Rick Leland: They're going to be free in 1946, aren't they?

Dr. Lorenz: They are - provided America does not insist on fighting a war with Japan. It's my opinion that that contingency is going to keep the Philippines from being free.

Alberta Marlow: Won't Japan gobble them up?

Rick Leland: No offense, but Japan or Canada or anybody else can have the Philippines as far as I'm concerned. It's hot in Manila!

Dr. Lorenz: Might even be hotter before long.

Alberta Marlow: Hot enough to go around in shorts?

Rick Leland: Ah, there's a Canadian for you! Let them take their clothes off, and they're happy.

Rick Leland: How are you doing, angel?

Alberta Marlow: I never knew what suffering was until I came on this pleasure trip.

Alberta Marlow: I'm not so obsessed with money as you seem to be. I can do without it.

Rick Leland: You stick around with me and you'll get plenty of practice.

Rick Leland: How can you come from Medicine Hat?

Alberta Marlow: There's nothing wrong with Medicine Hat! It's hot in the summer, cold in the winter and nothing ever happens there!

Rick Leland: It'll probably end up with Captain Higoto marrying us on the boat.

Alberta Marlow: Oh, no! I want a church wedding and a groom who's got more than two suits.

Alberta Marlow: [after they kiss] What's the matter?

Rick Leland: Look, I didn't mean that.

Alberta Marlow: I did. Why didn't you?

Rick Leland: Well, a fellow with a suit like mine, shouldn't go around kissing girls.

Rick Leland: If you catch pneumonia, what will happen to our romance?

Alberta Marlow: What will happen to it anyway, if you don't shave.

Alberta Marlow: [Talking about Japanese people in general] You are always so calm. You never show anything.

Capt. Higoto: We are told not to. It is our way of rife. We must not show too much sad-i-ness or too much joy. If you praise what we have, we say it is nus-sing. If you admire our sons, we must say thay are unworthy.

Alberta Marlow: Mr. Leland, I believe that a man should tell the woman he's going to marry everything.

Rick Leland: Oh, in that case, I'll come clean.

Alberta Marlow: What?

Rick Leland: I look old, but that's because I've worried a lot. Actually, I haven't yet reached the age of legal consent, and if you don't get out of here, I'm gonna yell for help.

Alberta Marlow: All right, you can get yourself another heiress.

Rick Leland: [Clears throat] We're going to know each other eventually, so, why not now.

Alberta Marlow: That seems reasonable enough. I'm Alberta Marlow.

Rick Leland: My name's Rick Leland. Would you mind stepping into the light? Please.

[Both walk towards the light]

Rick Leland: On a Jap freighter, too. You better pinch me.

Rick Leland: Are your legs always blue?

Alberta Marlow: They're not blue.

Rick Leland: Oh, Sugi, get me that blanket.

Alberta Marlow: I don't want a blanket. I want the sunshine.

Rick Leland: Oh, your teeth are chattering like a crap game. This is November and it's winter sunshine.

Rick Leland: At last, we're alone. Now, listen, bright eyes.

Alberta Marlow: No romance. There's something very interesting over there, Ricky.

Rick Leland: Where? What do you mean?

Alberta Marlow: T. Oki. It's not the same Oki that came down from Halifax with us. That's another man.

Rick Leland: Ah, the heat's kidding you angel. They all look alike.

Alberta Marlow: No they don't either. Not if you examine them closely.

Dr. Lorenz: Where will you stay in Panama, Mr. Leland?

Alberta Marlow: Something cool and long.

Alberta Marlow: Who are you after? Are you a G-man or something?

Rick Leland: What if I was?

Alberta Marlow: I just wondered.
