May Lily Quotes in The Little Colonel (1935)

May Lily: Colonel, your army is retreatin' right now!

Miss Lloyd Sherman: And I only had one shot left. And I aimed my gun, and bang! I killed those three Indians.

May Lily: Why, Miss Lloyd, did you really do that?

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Of course not, that's just a story. And you don't have to call me Miss Lloyd. You can call me Colonel.

May Lily: Is you a colonel too?

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Yes, I am, a real colonel!

May Lily: You can't be no colonel.

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Why not?

May Lily: 'Cause you ain't got no whiskers.

Miss Lloyd Sherman: I don't need to have whiskers. I've got temper. That's all you need to be a colonel.

May Lily: I guess that's right, 'cause all the colonels I ever seen had tempers. I hope you're not a colonel like him over there. If you was, I'd be afeared to play with you!

May Lily: Why, Miss Lloyd, them's the colonel's flowers!

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Well, we're not afraid of the colonel.

May Lily: Who ain't afraid? Maybe you ain't, but I is.

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Now listen, May Lily. You too, Henry Clay. I'm the colonel and you're my men, and in the army you have to obey orders. Forward march!

May Lily: I don't think I'm gonna like bein' the army.

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Aw!

May Lily: If the old colonel ever finds out where we got these sheets, he'll baptize us good.

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Didn't I tell you that my men don't have to be afraid of anything? Now, Henry Clay, are you ready? Have you got the right thoughts?

Henry Clay: Uh-huh.

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Do you believe it'll wash your sins away?

Henry Clay: Uh-huh.

Miss Lloyd Sherman: All right, come one. One, two, three.

[Lloyd and May Lily dunk Henry Clay in the water]

May Lily: Hallelujah!

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Are you saved?

[Henry Clay shakes his head]

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Well, we'll have to do it again. One, two, three.

[Lloyd and May Lily dunk Henry Clay in the water again]

May Lily: Hallelujah!

Miss Lloyd Sherman: Are you saved?

Henry Clay: Uh-huh.
