Quotes |
Tommy Connors:
I'd give a million bucks to be alone with you for a little while honey. Do you love me? Fay Wilson: Yeah. Tommy Connors: Well don't come up here dolled up like that anymore. Fay Wilson: Why, Tommy? Tommy Connors: What's the matter with you? Do you want me to go crazy? You have me foaming at the mouth like a cream puff. Fay Wilson: On, I'm sorry, Tommy, I never thought about that. I just want to look nice for you. Tommy Connors: That's alright. But, you know you don't have to come up here looking too hot! See more » |
