Welch Quotes in Baby, Take a Bow (1934)

Welch: Well, hello Kay! Here you are, here's a seat for you.

Kay 'Funny Face' Ellison: The further I sit from you, Mr. Welch, the better I like it.

[to Porter]

Kay 'Funny Face' Ellison: Take those bags into the next car, please.

Porter: Sorry, Miss. The train's full up today.

Welch: Here you are, Kay. Sit right down here.

[Kay drops train tickets, and Welch picks them up]

Welch: Two tickets to Niagara Falls, eh? How romantic. That's where honeymooners go. Oh, yes. Eddie Ellison gets out today. Say, you're not really gonna marry that guy, are you?

Kay 'Funny Face' Ellison: Any objection?

Welch: Say, listen, kid. I like you. I want to give you a little friendly advice.

Kay 'Funny Face' Ellison: [scoffs] Friendly advice. Well, that's good, coming from the fellow that caused Eddie's conviction.

Welch: Now take it easy, Kay. I'm telling you that I'm your friend. More than a friend.

Kay 'Funny Face' Ellison: Yes, you tried to be more than a friend, ever since you had Eddie arrested.

Welch: Now, don't be that way. You're a nice girl, and you're about to make the mistake of your life.

Kay 'Funny Face' Ellison: That's my business.

Welch: You're a nice girl and you're about to make the biggest mistake of your life.

Kay 'Funny Face' Ellison: That's my business.

Larry Scott: Sure it is, and don't let him tell you any different!

Eddie Ellison: Well, if it isn't my old pal Welch, big as life and twice as natural.

Larry Scott: He's still got it in for you! He's been giving the one-two the whole way up here, trying to promote himself.

Welch: I was just trying to give Kay here a little friendly advice. I know a lot more about crooks than she does.

Larry Scott: Why, you!

[he tries to punch Welch, but Larry stops him]

Larry Scott: If you slug him, you'll get in trouble. You're on your way out. Keep going. I'm on my way in. I got nothing to lose.

[he punches Welch]

Eddie Ellison: Well, if it isn't my old pal, Welch. As big as life and twice as natural.

Larry Scott: He's no pal of yours, fella. He's still got it in for you.

Eddie Ellison: What do you mean?

Larry Scott: He's been throwing hooks into you all the way up on the train. Trying to promote himself.

Welch: Yeah. I was just trying to give her a little friendly advice, that's all. I happen to know a lot more about crooks than she does.

Eddie Ellison: Why, you -

[moves as if to hit Welch]

Kay 'Funny Face' Ellison: [restraining him] Eddie, Eddie!

Larry Scott: If you sock him, you'll get into trouble. You're on the way out. Keep going. I'm on the way in, so I've got nothing to lose.

Eddie Ellison: Thanks, fella. I'll be seeing you when you get out.

Larry Scott: Good luck. I wish I could be your best man.

Welch: [Welch is searching Eddie's apartment for a stolen pearl necklace] What kind of a sap do you think I am?

Eddie Ellison: I don't know. What kind of a sap are you?

Eddie Ellison: Let me see. Maybe you'd swallow it.

Larry Scott: I read in Popular Mechanics where Zulus hide jewels by sewing them under their skin.

Eddie Ellison: That'd be all right if we were Zulus.
