Mrs. Barlow Quotes in Captain Blood (1935)

Mrs. Barlow: You would think of geraniums when every other able-bodied man is out fighting!

Dr. Peter Blood: Hmm. It's out of favor I seem to be with you, my vinegary virgin.

Mrs. Barlow: Half the town is saying you're a Papist.

Dr. Peter Blood: Why? Because I've the sense to sleep this night instead of rushing to my ruin in a hopeless attempt to put this Duke of Monmouth on the throne? He'd be even worse than King James. Make haste with that cloak there, my pretty one.

Mrs. Barlow: And the other half of the town that defends you claims that you're just a coward.

Dr. Peter Blood: Mrs. Barlow, me darlin', you can tell 'em if you like that I've been most everywhere that fighting was in evidence: I fought for the French against the Spanish and the Spanish against the French... and I learned me seamanship in the Dutch navy. And having had adventure enough in six years to last me six lives, I came here. Hung up the sword and picked up the lancet; became a man of peace and not of war... a healer, not a slayer. And that I'm going to be as long as I'm on top of the sod and not under it.

[first lines]

Jeremy Pitt: Doctor Blood! Doctor Blood!

Mrs. Barlow: Who, who is it?

Dr. Peter Blood: That we'll know better when you've opened the door.

Mrs. Barlow: Me?

Dr. Peter Blood: My mistake, after I've opened the door.

Matt Johnson: You know, Mrs. Barlow, there's something I'd like straighten out.

Mrs. Barlow: What's that, Matt?

Matt Johnson: Well, I did a lot of things around here I'm kind of ashamed of. I tore up your lawn with my '40 Ford...

Mrs. Barlow: Many times.

Matt Johnson: Took my pants off in front of your friends...

Mrs. Barlow: Oh, yes.

Matt Johnson: And I even passed out in your closet, but I never, and I don't know who could have if I didn't, but I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.
