Flo Addams Quotes in Brother Orchid (1940)

Flo Addams: Johnny, wait a minute. I want you to carry this with you.

Little Johnny Sarto: What is it?

Flo Addams: It's a rabbit's foot. A lucky charm. My uncle wore it for 32 years.

Little Johnny Sarto: A lucky charm, eh? Where'd you get it?

Flo Addams: From my mother. With her own hand she took it off of my uncle after they hung him.

Little Johnny Sarto: [riding with Flo in Clarence's back seat] What's that whistlin' I hear?

Flo Addams: That's Clarence makin' birdcalls. He's awful good.

Clarence P. Fletcher: [makes a hooting sound]

Flo Addams: Want him to impersonate a robin?

Little Johnny Sarto: What'll he do? Eat a worm?

Flo Addams: [referring to the travel stickers she's putting inside his trunks] Look, Johnny, don't it look elegant?

Little Johnny Sarto: Yeah, it's got class all right. Look, you dumb cluck, you got it pasted on the inside.

Flo Addams: Sure, it gets scratched on the outside. Anybody's smart enough to know that!

Little Johnny Sarto: Flo, sometimes you got me guessin' whether you're even a nitwit.

Little Johnny Sarto: [proposing to go to Willie at a mental institution in Jersey] Oh, I'll get him all right. This is Little John Sarto. How long will it take us to drive over to where Willie's at?

Flo Addams: Forty minutes the way you drive.

Little Johnny Sarto: Oh, good, I'll tell him we'll pick him up.

Flo Addams: Well, maybe he won't wanna leave. He told me on a postcard he's in a grand hideout and having a swell time with his mental disorder.

Little Johnny Sarto: If he ever told you that on a postcard, maybe they ought to keep him in there.

Flo Addams: I didn't double-cross you at Fat Duchy's. I wanted Jack Buck to make up with you. And I was dumb enough to believe him.

Little Johnny Sarto: Yeah? What do you think now, I'm dumb enough to believe you?

Flo Addams: Now, wait a minute, Clarence. Johnny didn't never say no such thing.

Little Johnny Sarto: Certainly, I didn't. I never said anything about you. Never even thought anything about you.
