Fred Hill Quotes in East of Shanghai (1931)

[first lines]

Fred Hill: Hello Em.

Emily Hill: Hello Fred. I think you'll like me in this dress when it's done. Oh, have you broken your umbrella?

Fred Hill: I don't want any pills. I want some of the good things of life... money. Why should you be able to spend less on yourself than some women do on their rotten poodles? Why shouldn't you have a hairdresser and a ladies maid?

Emily Hill: Why, Fred, I never expect those things.

Fred Hill: No, that's just it. The good little women like you don't want enough.

Fred Hill: It seems the best place for us is the gas oven.

Emily Hill: Fred! To talk about gas ovens when we've a roof over our heads, food, beds, oh, and lots of things!

[there is a knock at their door]

Emily Hill: That's the post.

Fred Hill: Oh, it'll only be the gas bill.

Emily Hill: Serves you jolly well right if it is, talking about gas ovens.
