Steve McBride Quotes in Torchy Runs for Mayor (1939)

Steve McBride: [to Maxie] If you get her to keep on makin' these passes at Dolan, do it yopurself or get someone else. I wanna go to a wedding, not a funeral.

Torchy Blane: You think they might tie a can to you, Steve?

Steve McBride: Why certainly, they might. Awh, it's not just myself I'm thinkin' about. I've gotta consider which side our bread is buttered on - yours as well as mine.

Torchy Blane: Oh, no, you don't, now. Not OUR bread, not until the rice begins to fly. Until then, I have my own slice to butter.

Steve McBride: [In a self-deprecating way] A fool there was, and here he is!

Steve McBride: [as Torchy tries to get out of the car to go with Steve] No! You wait here!

Torchy Blane: Oh, but I want to go with you!

Steve McBride: This rat hole is no place for a woman!

Torchy Blane: But I'm a newspaperman!

Steve McBride: Just sit quiet and maybe no one will notice.

Torchy Blane: Maybe he's like Fitz - he thinks a woman's a wonderful thing.

Steve McBride: Nah, he couldn't be that dumb!
