Anne Schuyler Quotes in Platinum Blonde (1931)

Dexter Grayson: Where were you yesterday?

Anne Schuyler: Oh, Stew and I went for a long ride. Dexter, is there any finishing school we could send him to?

Dexter Grayson: Yes - Sing Sing!

Stew Smith: You should throw me out. Because I begin to get goofy ideas and they concern you, Anne.

Anne Schuyler: None of your ideas could be goofy, Stew, if they concern me.

Stew Smith: Well, my name is Smith. That you seem to have been able to stand for the last month. I am white, male and over 21. I've never been in jail... that is, not often. And I prefer Scotch to bourbon, I hate carrots, I hate peas, I like bad coffee, and I hate garters. I make seventy-five bucks a week, and I got eight hundred and forty-seven bucks in the bank... and I don't know yet whether your eyes are blue or violet.

Anne Schuyler: That's because you're too far away, Stew.

[Kiss]

Anne Schuyler: I've met some rotters in my time; but, without a doubt you're the lowest excuse for a man I've had the misfortune to meet.

Anne Schuyler: I won't even pretend you haven't done me a great favor. I wish there was something I could do for you?

Anne Schuyler: It's going to be a very interesting experiment.

Dexter Grayson: To make a gentleman out of a tramp?

Anne Schuyler: Exactly.

Dexter Grayson: Now, Anne, you'll remember how much it cost to get rid of that baseball player.

Anne Schuyler: You don't seem to understand that this one's different. He has brains.

Stew Smith: When you move down to my place, I'll show it to you.

Anne Schuyler: In your place?

Stew Smith: Yeah. Oh, it's great. Of course, it doesn't compare with this Colosseum of yours, here. But, will serve, m'lady, will serve. The architecture is, eh, well, it has a little feeling of Missouri Gothic and the furniture sort of leans toward Oklahoma Renaissance with a tiny touch of Grand Rapids.

Stew Smith: We never look at Gallagher as a girl!

Anne Schuyler: No, well, what do you look upon her as?

Stew Smith: Well, down at the office, we always just look at - - Gallagher, that's all.

Gallagher: Well, you see, they all consider me just as one of the boys.

Stew Smith: Right!

Anne Schuyler: [Skeptically] In deed. How interesting.

Stew Smith: That was kind of a rotten thing to do, Anne. After all, Gallagher's my friend. The least you can do is be courteous to her.

Anne Schuyler: I thought I was very charming, Stewart.

Stew Smith: You did? That's a lot of hooey. I'll go and apologize.

Mrs. Schuyler: [Anne is reading the newspaper] What does it say about the reception last night?

Anne Schuyler: Oh, the usual thing: blah, blah, blah attended the blah blah and wore the same blah blah things.

Stew Smith: Have we got a play, Anne. Oh, have we got a play! Of course, most of it's Gallagher's. She did most of it. That brain of hers. It just snaps like that all of the time.

Anne Schuyler: I'm not interested in the way her brain snaps.

Mrs. Schuyler: If you had to make a fool of yourself, why didn't you tell it to her, instead of writing?

Michael Schuyler: Because I couldn't get her on the phone.

Mrs. Schuyler: Imbecile!

Anne Schuyler: You should have known better than to write, Romeo. I found that out a long time ago.

Mrs. Schuyler: I should say you had. At the rate you two are going, we'll have to leave the country to save our faces!

Anne Schuyler: Splendid, Mother! Let's hop over to Monte Carlo. It's a great place to save a face!
