Jason Eldridge Quotes in The Honeymoon Machine (1961)

Lt. Fergie Howard: Beau'll join you as soon as he gets into his civvies.

Lt. Beau Gilliam: My civvies?

Lt. Fergie Howard: You brought 'em, didn't ya?

Lt. Beau Gilliam: Yeah. But I won't wear 'em, Fergie.

Lt. Fergie Howard: I beg your pardon?

Lt. Beau Gilliam: Well you saw the duty board this morning. We were specifically ordered to wear whites. Any officer caught ashore in his civvies is gonna have his tail in a sling. And the order was signed by Admiral Fitch himself.

Lt. Fergie Howard: Old Foghorn.

Jason Eldridge: Fergie, we agreed not to break any regulations we didn't have to.

Lt. Fergie Howard: Uh huh. But we have to. We can't get into the casino in Navy uniforms. It's off limits.

Lt. Beau Gilliam: Off limits? And in civvies too? I'll be breaking two regulations at once!

Lt. Fergie Howard: That's right, it's sort of a package deal. Now get in there and get out of that uniform and that's an order, Lieutenant *junior* grade Gilliam!

Lt. Fergie Howard: Jason are you a wealthy man?

Jason Eldridge: I'm a scientist, all scientists are poor, it's the law.

Jason Eldridge: Fergie will you stop, we've known each other for years. Besides, she's got 60 million of her own.

Lt. Fergie Howard: What system do you use?

Pam Dunstan: The capitalistic system.

Tommy Dane: Did Pam tell you the good news?

Jason Eldridge: She told me the news.

Pam Dunstan: Say something nice about Tommy Dane or I'm leaving... Well?

Jason Eldridge: I'm thinking.

Pam Dunstan: Why did you run away, Jayson?

Jason Eldridge: I didn't run away; I walked.

Pam Dunstan: From me.

Jason Eldridge: From you and forty million dollars, or is it fifty?

Pam Dunstan: Sixty. Is it my fault my father manufactures frankfurters?

Jason Eldridge: Nope. It's just that they are so profitable. I can just see the story in the society page: "Penniless professor weds weenie heiress."

Pam Dunstan: I came to Venice to marry Tommy Dane!

Jason Eldridge: If you want to talk about something really ridiculous, you're on the right track. You don't love Tommy Dane; you don't even LIKE Tommy Dane.

Pam Dunstan: I suppose I love you.

Jason Eldridge: Well, don't you?

Pam Dunstan: Yes, heaven help me.
