Topper Returns (1941)

Rafaela Ottiano: Lillian - the Housekeeper

Quotes 

• Ann Carrington : What's that sound?

  Lillian : It's the waves. Angry waves. Day after day, night after night, they beat with savage fury against the black rocks below. For twenty years they've been calling... calling... calling to someone who never answers.

  Gail Richards : Just like the Pot of Gold program.

• Gail Richards : I'm starved. You forgot we didn't have any dinner.

  Lillian : Rama will bring you a tray.

  Gail Richards : Oh, any little thing will do. Lobster salad and beer. But, nothing heavy!

• Lillian : The Chinese Room will be yours, Miss Richards.

  Gail Richards : Oh, you're a doll.

  Gail Richards : [to Ann]  Well, this is just dandy. I travel seven thousand miles just to get away from Chinamen, and here I am with everything but a bowl of rice.

• Lillian : Good night, Miss Richards.

  Gail Richards : Good night.

  Lillian : I hope you rest in peace.

  Gail Richards : Thank you.

  [to Ann] 

  Gail Richards : Isn't that what they write on tombstones?

• Bob : What's going on here? Who's that guy in the black coat? What happened to her? Who are you?

  Lillian : I'm the housekeeper!

  Bob : Fine way to keep house. Women screaming. Bogeymen jumping out of windows. If I had a house like this, I wouldn't want to keep it.
