Gabey Quotes in On the Town (1949)

Gabey: You know, somewhere in the world there's a right girl for every boy. I guess I found the one for me before I even met you. I tried, but I can't forget her. But don't you worry. You'll find your guy. You're a nice girl Lucy.

[He kisses her on the cheek]

Lucy Schmeeler: Oh you bad boy! Now I won't wash my cheek for a year.

Lucy Schmeeler: Did you see "The Lost Weekend"?

Gabey: Yes. I think I'm living through it.

[attempting to escape from the police]

Gabey: Hilde, do you know where we can hide?

Gabey: Gesundheit.

Lucy Schmeeler: That's the nicest thing anybody ever said to me!

Chip: Gee, Gabey, why d'ya wanna chase girls all the time?

Gabey: I'll tell ya when your voice changes, junior.

[Gabey and Ivy discuss where they should meet]
