Climbing High (1938)

Tucker McGuire: Patsey

Quotes 

• Patsey : Say, will you stop scribbling in that precious book of yours while I insult my best friend?

  Max : If you mean comrade Diana, I don't agree. She spurns money rightly. In the coming civilization, money as we know it will cease to exist.

• Max : [Looking at the face of model centaur for which he is posing]  Oh, do I really look like that?

  Patsey : What makes you think you've been posing for the face?

• Patsey : Why don't you get out of that chair and do some real work?

  Max : I'll get up out of this chair when the time comes and then you'll see a man of action. Ahhhh. A man of terror. The iron commissar.

• Patsey : You're supposed to be a man.

  Max : We don't recognize sex in the party.

  Patsey : Must be a dull party.

• Diana : [as she and Patsey confront Max]  Somebody's got to work.

  Max : Mmm. Ohhh, don't look at me. I don't believe in commerce. I'd sooner commit a crime.

  Patsey : [Gesturing toward her giant clay centaur sculpture]  Yeah, but what about my beautiful horse? I put everything I've got into him, including your face.

• Diana : Oh, you don't know Jim when he gets started. I tell you, he'll kill John and I love him.

  Patsey : You mean to say you love him? And you let that poor guy call you up a dozen times begging you to go with him? Why on earth didn't you go?

  Diana : Because I hate him.
