Bangles Carson Quotes in Little Miss Marker (1934)

Bangles Carson: Looking for something?

Detective Reardon: Yeah. A kid.

Bangles Carson: Another kid get lost?

Detective Reardon: No, it's the same kid. One of those orphan societies is on our necks. You know, afraid she might have fallen into the hands of the wrong people. Sorrowful, you mind if I take a run up to that new apartment of yours?

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: What for?

Detective Reardon: You know, just for the record.

Bangles Carson: Hiya, Tightwad.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Hello, Golddigger.

Bangles Carson: You guys ought to be ashamed of yourselves, tossing that kid around like she was a rubber ball.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: You are Lady Guinevere.

Doc Chesley: King Arthur's Lady Guinevere?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: You know about it, too?

Doc Chesley: Yes.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: Did you ever break a lance for a lady fair?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: He's the best of all. I haven't seen him around here. But I know who you are.

Doc Chesley: Yes?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: You are the kind keeper.

Bangles Carson: The kind keeper of what, Marky?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: Of the charger. The horse the princess rides.

Bangles Carson: Who told you about all this?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: My mommy used to read to me about King Arthur.

Bangles Carson: Where is your mother, Marky?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: My mommy got awfully tired, and went away. She's never coming back anymore.

Bangles Carson: [reading the newspaper] Listen to this. "Bets twenty dollars on losing horse, then takes life."

Big Steve Halloway: Bumped himself off, did he?

Bangles Carson: It tells about the kid and everything.

Big Steve Halloway: Now get this, honey, no playing around. You keep your eye on her, Sorrowful.

Bangles Carson: Notice how much he trusts me. Well, Tightwad, you're my watchman.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: You're going to need watching, Golddigger.

Bangles Carson: If you want to be kept busy, I can arrange it.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: I'm already busy playing nursemaid to one doll.

Bangles Carson: I hear you like it so well you bought a new apartment for the kid.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Why'd you bring him here?

Bangles Carson: You're my watchman.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: You need a watchman. Big Steve is hardly out of town, and you step out with a good-time Charlie.

Bangles Carson: Steve phoned four times last night between one and five this morning.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: When Steve finds out you stayed the night at my place -

Bangles Carson: Oh, I phoned him a little while ago. I told him I had the kid here, and shut off the phone.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Oh, you handed him a line?

Bangles Carson: Yeah. I was afraid he'd put the slug on you.

Bangles Carson: [about Marky] Well, you can't leave her here.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Afraid of the cops?

Bangles Carson: No, I'm afraid of the kid. I don't want her here. I'm not going sappy over her! I won't, see!

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: You're already sappy over her.

Bangles Carson: But you're not?

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: No, she's just something I can't get rid of, because she's tangled up in a race deal.

Bangles Carson: She wasn't tangled up in a deal the first night you got her. You could've unloaded her then!

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: You didn't stage no riot when she busted up your song in a night club!

Bangles Carson: You start reading about King Arthur to her!

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Yeah, and you take her out and buy her a lot of new clothes!

Bangles Carson: And you sit still for the bite without even being chloroformed!

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: All right, I did pay! Her clothes were falling off her.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: Trying to hand me mush!

Bangles Carson: Don't you like it?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: No!

Bangles Carson: Say, "No, thank you." Say it like this: "No, thank you, Bangles. I don't care for any."

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: What for?

Bangles Carson: Well, you used to say "thank you" and "no, thank you."

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: I used to be a sissy.

Bangles Carson: Now where did you get that?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: Ain't telling! And I don't want no mush!

Bangles Carson: Don't you like me anymore?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: Well...

Bangles Carson: You used to like me when I was Lady Guinevere.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: [laughs] There's no Lady Guinevere.

Bangles Carson: Oh yes there is, dear. Just like there's a Charger.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: There ain't no Charger.

Bangles Carson: But you saw him.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: They took him away.

Bangles Carson: We jipped that kid, and now she's just a mug like us.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: What's wrong with us?

Bangles Carson: When we first met her, she was a sweet kid. Nice people would've been glad to have her. Now she hasn't got a chance.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Because she's a little tough now?

Bangles Carson: She's plenty tough now. They want kids that have been brought up right.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Who does?

Bangles Carson: Nice people. You know, young married couples with no kids of their own.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Why don't you get nice and adopt her?

Bangles Carson: Because I'm not a young married couple. You'd love to see her get into a good home, wouldn't you? Well, she won't, not unless we can change her back into the kid she was.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: I've been crazy about you for a long time.

Bangles Carson: Oh, everything is different. Maybe that's part of - of going sappy.

Bangles Carson: Why aren't you asleep?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: Aw, lay off me.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Using my place as a hideout from a Good Time Charlie.

Bangles Carson: Aw, shut up.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Alright, take it on the lam.

Bangles Carson: As soon as I get some clothes.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: You're wearing clothes.

Bangles Carson: Not going out at this time a day with these clothes on.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: If you went home nights instead of hanging around...

Bangles Carson: Maybe I could get home nights if you didn't go shout your head off and wake up kids.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: I wouldn't have to shout my head off if you stayed away.

Bangles Carson: Oh it won't happen again. I'll give you plenty air.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: I'll take gallons of it.

Bangles Carson: Better than that, I'll give you oceans of it.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: I'll take three oceans worth.

Bangles Carson: You would, it's free.
