Honey Swanson Quotes in A Song Is Born (1948)

Honey Swanson: [about Frisbee] Yes, I love him. I love those hick shirts he wears with the boiled collars and the way he always has his coat buttoned wrong. It looks like a giraffe, and I love him. I love him because he's the sort of a guy that gets drunk on a glass of buttermilk. And I love the way he blushes right up over his ears. I love him because he... he doesn't know how to kiss, the jerk.

Professor Hobart Frisbee: What are you gonna do?

Honey Swanson: I'm going to show you what yum-yum is. Here's yum.

[kisses him]

Honey Swanson: And here's the other yum.

[kisses him again]

Honey Swanson: And here's yum-yum.

[gives a long kiss that knocks him backwards onto a chair]

Honey Swanson: Oh, you're cute. Just a little sunlight in my hair and you had to water your neck.

Honey Swanson: And I want you to look at me, Professor Frisbee, as another tomato.

Professor Hobart Frisbee: What?

Honey Swanson: Just another tomato.
