Rick Leland Quotes in Across the Pacific (1942)

Rick Leland: Hey, are you getting sick?

Alberta Marlow: I don't know. How do girls usually act when you kiss them?

Rick Leland: Well, they don't turn green.

Alberta Marlow: Then I'm sick. Get me out of here.

Rick Leland: I never saw anybody like you, you never have any clothes on.

Alberta Marlow: Well if anyone heard you complaining about it they would put you in a psychopathic ward.

Rick Leland: [comparing his gun to Dr. Lorenz's] Mine's bigger than yours.

Alberta Marlow: We were discussing Philippine economics when we were so rudely interrupted.

Dr. Lorenz: My own field! Miss Marlowe was kind enough to listen to me.

Rick Leland: They're going to be free in 1946, aren't they?

Dr. Lorenz: They are - provided America does not insist on fighting a war with Japan. It's my opinion that that contingency is going to keep the Philippines from being free.

Alberta Marlow: Won't Japan gobble them up?

Rick Leland: No offense, but Japan or Canada or anybody else can have the Philippines as far as I'm concerned. It's hot in Manila!

Dr. Lorenz: Might even be hotter before long.

Alberta Marlow: Hot enough to go around in shorts?

Rick Leland: Ah, there's a Canadian for you! Let them take their clothes off, and they're happy.

Rick Leland: How are you doing, angel?

Alberta Marlow: I think I got pushed in the face by someone. My - My lipstick's smeared.

Rick Leland: Aww, you look cute.

Alberta Marlow: And now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go to my cabin... and faint.

Rick Leland: You certainly are a girl of many colors. First, your legs get blue. Then, your face turns green. And, now, your red all over.

Alberta Marlow: I never knew what suffering was until I came on this pleasure trip.

Alberta Marlow: I'm not so obsessed with money as you seem to be. I can do without it.

Rick Leland: You stick around with me and you'll get plenty of practice.

Rick Leland: How can you come from Medicine Hat?

Alberta Marlow: There's nothing wrong with Medicine Hat! It's hot in the summer, cold in the winter and nothing ever happens there!

Rick Leland: It'll probably end up with Captain Higoto marrying us on the boat.

Alberta Marlow: Oh, no! I want a church wedding and a groom who's got more than two suits.

Rick Leland: Don't be an innocent bystander; they always get hurt.

Rick Leland: [to Lorenz as they both view U.S. planes overhead] Any of your friends in Tokyo have trouble committing hari-kiri, those boys'd be glad to help them out.

Alberta Marlow: [after they kiss] What's the matter?

Rick Leland: Look, I didn't mean that.

Alberta Marlow: I did. Why didn't you?

Rick Leland: Well, a fellow with a suit like mine, shouldn't go around kissing girls.

Rick Leland: If you catch pneumonia, what will happen to our romance?

Alberta Marlow: What will happen to it anyway, if you don't shave.

Alberta Marlow: Mr. Leland, I believe that a man should tell the woman he's going to marry everything.

Rick Leland: Oh, in that case, I'll come clean.

Alberta Marlow: What?

Rick Leland: I look old, but that's because I've worried a lot. Actually, I haven't yet reached the age of legal consent, and if you don't get out of here, I'm gonna yell for help.

Alberta Marlow: All right, you can get yourself another heiress.

Rick Leland: [Clears throat] We're going to know each other eventually, so, why not now.

Alberta Marlow: That seems reasonable enough. I'm Alberta Marlow.

Rick Leland: My name's Rick Leland. Would you mind stepping into the light? Please.

[Both walk towards the light]

Rick Leland: On a Jap freighter, too. You better pinch me.

Alberta Marlow: I don't think I know you that well.

Rick Leland: A pretty girl on a boat and no college boy, no handsome officers, no eligible men of any description. That's wonderful.

Rick Leland: Are your legs always blue?

Alberta Marlow: They're not blue.

Rick Leland: Oh, Sugi, get me that blanket.

Alberta Marlow: I don't want a blanket. I want the sunshine.

Rick Leland: Oh, your teeth are chattering like a crap game. This is November and it's winter sunshine.

Rick Leland: At last, we're alone. Now, listen, bright eyes.

Alberta Marlow: No romance. There's something very interesting over there, Ricky.

Rick Leland: Where? What do you mean?

Alberta Marlow: T. Oki. It's not the same Oki that came down from Halifax with us. That's another man.

Rick Leland: Ah, the heat's kidding you angel. They all look alike.

Alberta Marlow: No they don't either. Not if you examine them closely.

Dr. Lorenz: Where will you stay in Panama, Mr. Leland?

Rick Leland: The Pan American. It's very quite and respectable.

Joe Totsuiko: That ain't for me.

Rick Leland: Where are you going beautiful?

Alberta Marlow: I'll have to find some place where they have the bath at the end of the hall and a 40 cents lunch.

Rick Leland: I know the guy who owns the Pan American. He'll give you a rate.

Rick Leland: Sam, you can help me. People tell you things.

Sam Wing On: People tell me because I don't tell. I tell, they don't tell me any more.

Joe Totsuiko: You can sit down, now, folks. Nobodies going anywhere.

Rick Leland: You guys been lookin' for a war, haven't you?

Joe Totsuiko: That's right, Rick. That's why we're starting it.

Rick Leland: You may start it, Joe. But, we'll finish it.

Rick Leland: I guess nobody ever really knows anybody.

Rick Leland: Powder, angel. Now, when you go, stop thinking and keep your mouth shut.

Dr. Lorenz: One night, you told me about your troubles in the Army. I'd like to hear more about that.

Rick Leland: I got in a jam with a dame.

Dr. Lorenz: Yes?

Rick Leland: I needed some dough. I had access to the regimental funds so I borrowed it, intending to put it back, of course.

Dr. Lorenz: Of course.

Rick Leland: They found out first. The brass hats could have given me a chance if they wanted to, but they didn't. They tied me up with pink ribbons and threw me to the wolves. Write your own finish.

Rick Leland: Everybody has bad luck with me. Goodbye.

Sam Wing On: What's the matter you, Rick?

Rick Leland: What's a matter you? What's a matter me, Sam?

Sam Wing On: All the time, people say you no good. Big smell from up north. I what's a matter you come back? Too much Army here. Everyone know. You through with Panama. Panama through with you!

Rick Leland: Well, Sam, maybe I won't be here long.

Sam Wing On: You no need money? Sam smell big fish.

Rick Leland: Sam keep nose clean. Sam no smell fish. No catchy trouble.

Sam Wing On: All the time, you like trouble. Maybe so, Dr. Lorenz trouble?

Rick Leland: Maybe so.

Sam Wing On: Gal too?

Rick Leland: I don't know Sam. I hope she's all right.

Sam Wing On: She got your bad. Much trouble. All the time, much trouble.

Rick Leland: I'm sorry to be late, angel. I was held up.

Alberta Marlow: Oh, I like waiting for you Ricky. Wouldn't I make a splendid wife.

Rick Leland: What'll it be?

Alberta Marlow: Something cool and long.

Rick Leland: Maybe you overlooked something?

Dr. Lorenz: Could you suggest anything, sir, that we might have overlooked?

Rick Leland: What about your getaway?

Dr. Lorenz: We have a rendezvous with an undersea boat.

Rick Leland: When you're slapped, you're gonna take it and like it.

Rick Leland: What was that boat you were talking about?

Steamship Office Clerk: The Genoa Maru, sailing tonight for Yokohama, by way of New York, the Panama Canal, and Honolulu.

Rick Leland: It's for me.

Steamship Office Clerk: Excuse, please.

Rick Leland: How much?

Steamship Office Clerk: To port of final destination, 212 dollars 80 cents.

Dr. Lorenz: You probably don't share my enthusiasm for the Japanese.

Rick Leland: I don't know, I never thought much about them.

Dr. Lorenz: A wonderful little people. Wonderful. Greatly misunderstood, believe me. To know them, that is to really know them, is to feel the deepest affection for them.

Alberta Marlow: Who are you after? Are you a G-man or something?

Rick Leland: What if I was?

Alberta Marlow: I just wondered.
