Col. Gray Quotes in The Little Colonel (1935)

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Now that I'm a colonel, can't I play with the boys anymore?

Col. Gray: Why, of course you can.

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Well, you don't! Do colonels have to go to bed at 7:00?

Col. Gray: Why, no, sometimes colonels stay up as late as 8:00.

Miss Lloyd Sherman: I wish you'd tell my mother that.

Col. Gray: I will.

Jack Sherman: I want to thank you, Bob, for everything.

Col. Gray: It's been a great pleasure having you and your family with us, even for so short a time. Quite different from Philadelphia, isn't it?

Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman: Yes, indeed. We lived there for six years, but I never got used to the dreadful noise of the horse cars.

Col. Gray: Jack told me that you'd sold your house there.

Jack Sherman: We sold everything, lock, stock, and barrel. Took Greely's advice to go west, and here we are to find our fortune. I'm depending on your help for that.

Swazey: Oh, there's plenty there for the finding, if we're lucky.

Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman: I do wish we didn't have to go back home to Lloydsboro.

Jack Sherman: Now, dear, we've settled all that.

Col. Gray: This wild country is no place for women and children, and where Jack's going it's even rougher. Besides, Jack told me you have a lovely home waiting for you.

Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman: Oh, that sounds too grand. It's really just a cottage my mother left me.

Col. Gray: [to Lloyd] Completely armed except for your golden curls, brown eyes and your dimples, you've captured an entire regiment.
