Quotes
-
Chinese Woman : [Repeated line looking at pretty Paula] Pretty girl for a white woman!
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Like a piece of cheese the rats have been at.
-
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : A two-timer, huh? She isn't a woman. She's a football.
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : Is that a flag you're waving or the double standard?
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : When a man's a two timer, that's just normal, but if a woman's a two timer, she's strong drink and shouldn't be sold to minors.
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : I ought to poke you one.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : What for? If you can't read that babe, then someone has to do it for you? You want me to spell out the word?
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : Spell away!
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : It rhymes with champ. But it means the opposite.
-
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : You and that babe in there belong together. Like mush and milk. Yes sir. She's the milk... You're the mush, Junior.
-
Crystal McRegan : [Flirting at bar] Like what you see?
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : [Condescendingly] Sure, you're as pretty as a picture in a fifty-cent magazine.
-
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : Name's Paula - a great girl. Saw a lot of her before I left.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : You never told me about her.
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : Do I have to tell you everything?
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Not a bad idea. Anybody I know?
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : And nobody you owe either.
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : I want to marry her, Jonny.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : No foolin'?
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : That's it exactly. No foolin'.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : You think it's big important stuff, huh?
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : [Kirk shakes his head affirmedly] And the babe, likewise?
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : From her letters I'd say yes.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : It wasn't all set up before you left?
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : Not quite, but this six months apart made it right.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Six months? If it took you that long to make up your mind, it's no good. Nothing will come of it.
Kirk 'Junior' Davis : How do you know? Nothing ever lasted six months with you - not even the seven year itch.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Maybe so, Junior, but when I meet the ultimate babe, I'll know it...
[He snaps his fingers]
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : ... like that!

George L. Stafford : You'll learn you can't toss me around like a badminton ball, Davis.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : They don't play badminton with a ball, chief. They use what is known as a bird. You ought to know what that is - you get it enough!
-
Paula Lane : I heard every word you said out there.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Why didn't you open your eyes?
Paula Lane : Because it sounded better when I couldn't see you. Making love always sounds better in the dark.
-
Paula Lane : You know something? My nose itches.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Didn't that mean something when I was a kid?
Paula Lane : Mm hmm. It still does. When your nose itches, it means you're gonna' kiss a fool.
[proceeds to kiss Jonny]

Crystal McRegan : [they're at the bar at the Tropical Club in Manila] Look, if being broke is slowing you down, I know where you can get a job.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Hey, let me tell you something, babe: for the first time in my life, I don't want to work, either. It must be the climate. Enervating.
Crystal McRegan : Climate, my eye. If you ask me, you're carrying a torch so big, they could use you for a lighthouse.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : That's my nose you're looking at.
Crystal McRegan : Listen, when a man like you goes on a 4-star bender and then can't un-bend, the reason usually wears a skirt. Oh, sure, probably some right little, tight little blue-nose.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : What do you say we get out of here?
Crystal McRegan : Why not? I'll take a whack at blowing out that torch.
-

-
Paula Lane : Oh, listen, Jonny. Everyone's not like you. You'd rather be a good reporter than... Shakespeare.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Shakespeare was a reporter. Scooped Queen Elizabeth. That's the thing to do with dames. Scoop 'em, but stay away from all of them.
-
Lieutenant Wade Hall : Aye, we can duck your words but can you duck our bullets?

Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Hi, Anatole. Professor Anatole, astrologer. Predicted Black Friday
Paula Lane : He should have made millions.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : No, somebody talked him out of it. He lost his shirt.
Professor Anatole : It might interest you to know that the world is coming to an end.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Not unless it's tonight.
Professor Anatole : The stars say it will be April the 7th, 1987. At 5:30 o'clock.
Jonathon 'Jonny' Davis : Daylight savings time? That gives us exactly 45 1/2 years. The way things are going. It won't be a minute too long.
