Judy Canfield Quotes in Stage Door (1937)

Judy Canfield: Do you want a date?

Jean Maitland: To some other lumberman?

Judy Canfield: Am I supposed to apologize for being born in Seattle?

Jean Maitland: Well, the last couple we went stepping with were made of lumber. Especially their feet.

Judy Canfield: All right, all right, you can stay here and gorge yourself on lamb stew again. Hey, Pat, wanna...

Jean Maitland: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Wait! Is it for dinner?

Judy Canfield: Yes!

Jean Maitland: Well, why didn't you say so before you spoke. That lamb stew has got me counting sheep at night.

[first lines]

Judy Canfield: Do you have to do that?

Eve: It must have been counterfeit. There's no such thing as a fifty dollar bill.

Judy Canfield: You know, I think she's as phony as that bill.

Judy Canfield: Well, at least you know there is such an animal. What'd he look like?

Kay Hamilton: Like any other animal. He had on pants, tie and collar.

Terry Randall: The trouble with you is you're all trying to be comics. Don't you ever take anything seriously?

Judy Canfield: After you've sat around for a year trying to get a job, you won't take anything seriously either.

Terry Randall: Well, do you have to just sit around and do nothing about it?

Judy Canfield: Maybe it's in the blood. My grandfather sat around until he was 80.

Terry Randall: Well, my grandfather didn't. And if he and a lot of others hadn't crossed the country in a covered wagon, there'd still be Indians living in Wichita.

Eve: Who do you think's living there now?

Jean Maitland: I didn't like the way he looked at me.

Annie: You should be glad he looked at you at all.

Judy Canfield: Yeah.

Jean Maitland: He kinda makes you feel like you ought to run home and put on a tin overcoat.

Jean Maitland: He wasn't looking for an act, he was putting one on!

Annie: You ought to stop at a filling station and get pumped up!

Judy Canfield: Ah, she ain't exactly a flat, dearie, just a slow leak.

Olga: If it's not food, it's men. Can't you talk about anything else?

Judy Canfield: And what else is there?

Kay Hamilton: Do you have appointments too?

Judy Canfield: We're waiting for Randall. If she doesn't crack Powell's office by two o'clock, she's buying us lunch.

Eve: We're starting off with caviar. Oh, not that small sturgeon kind; but, nice big whale caviar.

Eve: Looks like there's a new Queen Bee buzzing around the hive.

Judy Canfield: Well, it seems to be the same King.

Judy Canfield: She doesn't even know what a pheasant is.

Linda Shaw: No, but he's willing to take them out once or twice.

Mary Lou: This will be my 35th performance as a spectator.

Judy Canfield: Girls, isn't he handsome? You know, you know some people do things like that for other people and other people do things like that for some people and I think you should do it. Don't you?

Butch: Well, why don't you come in and get the meat sometime?

Judy Canfield: Oh, I will!

Miss Luther: It might interests you girls to know that all great actresses knew their Shakespeare.

Judy Canfield: I like Amos and Andy.
