Lord Paddington Quotes in A Chump at Oxford (1940)

Student: Dirty snitchers.

Lord Paddington: Repeat that remark again.

Student: [with entire student group] Dirty snitchers!

Lord Paddington: [his ears wiggle wildly] Meredith, hold my handkerchief. Now I demand an immediate apology.

[a fight ensues]

Lord Paddington: [looking at Ollie] Meredith, who is this coarse person?

Student: We're going to run you out of Oxford; and if you don't go, we'll take of your britches and throw you out!

Lord Paddington: What? Take off my britches? In the presence of Meredith?

Lord Paddington: Fatty, lift up your chin. No no no, both of them!

Dean Williams: Professor Einstein of Princeton is having trouble with his theory; could you possible give him just a little time...

Lord Paddington: Of course... Fatty, hand me my memorandum

[Ollie gives it to him... he leafs through it]

Lord Paddington: Let's see... Monday, Tuesday... suppose we make it Ash Wednesday... invite him for lunch, I'm having pancakes.

Ollie: Listen, I've had enough of this! Why I knew you when I had more brains in my little finger than you had in your whole carcass... even with your overcoat on!

Lord Paddington: You're a witty old stick-in-the-mud, aren't you, Fatty?

Ollie: You bet I am, and don't call me Fatty!

Lord Paddington: Now don't get excited, old boy...

Ollie: Who's excited? I'm through. You can take your lordships, your Oxford and your Paddingtons and do what you like with them!
