It Happened One Night Quote
Peter Warne : [ Detectives are looking for Ellie ] What do you mean, coming in here? What do you want, anyway?
Detective : We're looking for somebody.
Peter Warne : Yeah, well look your head off, but don't come busting in here. This isn't a public park. I could near as take a sock at you!
Detective : Take it easy, son, take it easy.
Mr. Dykes : These men are detectives, Mr. Warne.
Peter Warne : I don't care if they're the whole police department. They can't come busting in here, shooting questions at my wife.
Ellie Andrews : Now, don't get so excited, Peter. The man just asked a civil question.
Peter Warne : Oh, is that so? Say, how many times have I told you to stop butting in when I'm having an argument?
Ellie Andrews : Well, you don't have to lose your temper!
Peter Warne : [ mockingly ] "You don't have to lose your temper." That's what you said the other time, too. Every time I try to protect you. The other night, at the Elks Dance, when that big Swede made a pass at you!
Ellie Andrews : He didn't make a pass at me! I told you a million times!
Peter Warne : Oh, no? I saw him. He kept pawing you all over the dance floor!
Ellie Andrews : [ the detectives stand there, flustered ] He didn't! You were drunk!
Peter Warne : Aw, nuts! You're just like your old man! Once a plumber's daughter, always a plumbers daughter! There isn't an ounce of brains in your whole family!
Ellie Andrews : [ sobbing ] Oh, Peter Warne, you've gone far enough! I won't stand for it anymore!
Peter Warne : Aw, shut up!
Mr. Dykes : Now, you see what you've done?
Detective : Sorry, Mr. Warne. But, you see we've got to check up on ever
