Bob Johnson Quotes in A Canterbury Tale (1944)

Thomas Colpeper, JP: Pity.

Bob Johnson: Pity?

Thomas Colpeper, JP: Pity when you get home and people ask what you've seen in England and you say "Well I saw a movie in Salisbury. And I made a pilgrimage to Canterbury and I saw another one."

Bob Johnson: [laughs] You've got me all wrong. I know that in Canterbury I have to look out for a cathedral.

Thomas Colpeper, JP: Yes do look out for it. It's just behind the movie theatre. You can't miss it.

Alison Smith: Did you hear the news about last night Mr. Horton?

Jim Horton: There wasn't nothing on the wireless.

Alison Smith: No I didn't mean that sort of news. I meant what happened here last night.

Ned Horton: We get all our local news at 6 o'clock, Miss.

Bob Johnson: You got a local newspaper?

Ned Horton: No. That's when the pub opens.

Sergt. Roczinsky: Hey, let's have some tea first, huh?

Bob Johnson: That stuff?

Sergt. Roczinsky: Sure; it's a habit, like marijuana.

Bob Johnson: I'll take marijuana.
