Alfred Steele Quotes in Mommie Dearest (1981)

[at a press conference on her wedding day]

Joan Crawford: You know, a few minutes ago a reporter asked me what I thought and how I would describe the marriage between the soft drink King and the Queen of Hollywood. I told him I thought it was a hell of a match.

Alfred Steele: That's my Pally.

Joan Crawford: Oh, "Pally". That's what he calls ya when he can't remember your name.

Alfred Steele: Don't let her kid you, I remember her name. It's Mrs. Alfred Steele. Right, Pally?

Joan Crawford: Right.

Alfred Steele: Joan, you've got to understand it's a public company, for Chrissakes. This isn't Hollywood where someone takes care of things with a phone call, this is the REAL world.
