Little Johnny Sarto Quotes in Brother Orchid (1940)

Flo Addams: Johnny, wait a minute. I want you to carry this with you.

Little Johnny Sarto: What is it?

Flo Addams: It's a rabbit's foot. A lucky charm. My uncle wore it for 32 years.

Little Johnny Sarto: A lucky charm, eh? Where'd you get it?

Flo Addams: From my mother. With her own hand she took it off of my uncle after they hung him.

Little Johnny Sarto: [riding with Flo in Clarence's back seat] What's that whistlin' I hear?

Flo Addams: That's Clarence makin' birdcalls. He's awful good.

Clarence P. Fletcher: [makes a hooting sound]

Flo Addams: Want him to impersonate a robin?

Little Johnny Sarto: What'll he do? Eat a worm?

Flo Addams: [referring to the travel stickers she's putting inside his trunks] Look, Johnny, don't it look elegant?

Little Johnny Sarto: Yeah, it's got class all right. Look, you dumb cluck, you got it pasted on the inside.

Flo Addams: Sure, it gets scratched on the outside. Anybody's smart enough to know that!

Little Johnny Sarto: Flo, sometimes you got me guessin' whether you're even a nitwit.

Little Johnny Sarto: [proposing to go to Willie at a mental institution in Jersey] Oh, I'll get him all right. This is Little John Sarto. How long will it take us to drive over to where Willie's at?

Flo Addams: Forty minutes the way you drive.

Little Johnny Sarto: Oh, good, I'll tell him we'll pick him up.

Flo Addams: Well, maybe he won't wanna leave. He told me on a postcard he's in a grand hideout and having a swell time with his mental disorder.

Little Johnny Sarto: If he ever told you that on a postcard, maybe they ought to keep him in there.

Little Johnny Sarto: What are you doing?

Brother Goodwin: Shaving your head.

Little Johnny Sarto: No, you don't!

[to Brother Superior]

Little Johnny Sarto: Do you have to?

Brother Superior: No, it's quite optional.

Little Johnny Sarto: [to Brother McEwan] Well, nothin' doin'. I got my looks to think about.

Little Johnny Sarto: Yeah? Well, say, that's swell. Heh heh. Say I'm glad you tipped me off. You know I ain't taken a bow in so long. I'm afraid my back will creak.

Little Johnny Sarto: But you can't change a guy overnight. I'm such a mug that was taught to look for angles. Take things easy and you live a little longer.

Flo Addams: I didn't double-cross you at Fat Duchy's. I wanted Jack Buck to make up with you. And I was dumb enough to believe him.

Little Johnny Sarto: Yeah? What do you think now, I'm dumb enough to believe you?

Little Johnny Sarto: Buck? Jack Buck?

Brother Superior: Yes. Yes, that's it. How did you know?

Little Johnny Sarto: Well, it come to me in a dream.

Little Johnny Sarto: Brother Superior, I'm gonna blab a little. Then I'm gonna blow.

Flo Addams: Now, wait a minute, Clarence. Johnny didn't never say no such thing.

Little Johnny Sarto: Certainly, I didn't. I never said anything about you. Never even thought anything about you.

Little Johnny Sarto: You know, to such a guy like me... love is like a scratch on the back. Sometimes feels good. But a guy can't go along all his life with an itch.

Little Johnny Sarto: Look, mum. Got any kids?

Scrub Woman at End: No. I ain't got nothing.

Little Johnny Sarto: Well, you got something now.

Little Johnny Sarto: Now, first of all, stop worrying about them flowers. You bring them back to the market tomorrow morning, you'll find that nobody ain't gonna bother you never no more.
