Cesar Romero: Fred Ghenoccio

Quotes 

• Fred Ghenoccio : I've been waiting for something like this!

  William Sylvester Packett : What do you mean?

  Fred Ghenoccio : I know you society swells wandering around the passages at night. Sneaking into strange bedrooms.

  William Sylvester Packett : Don't be a fool. Julia's my wife.

  Fred Ghenoccio : She may be your wife, but she's my fiancée!

• Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : All I want is my 6950 francs.

  Fred Ghenoccio : 6900 francs?

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : And 50. There's no reason now why I should pay for a nightgown.

  Fred Ghenoccio : 6950 francs? What kind of a nightgown was this?

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Very thin.

• Fred Ghenoccio : Where's my mother?

  Julia Packett : In the bar, drinking her breakfast. And I hope you fall off your trapeze.

  William Sylvester Packett : Without a net.

• Julia Packett : Well, you must be a riot with the women!

  Fred Ghenoccio : Oh, we always went pretty big with the men, too! It takes all sorts to make an audience, you know.

• Fred Ghenoccio : What were you doin' in a lingerie shop?

  Julia Packett : I was buying a negligee.

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : And a nightgown.

  Fred Ghenoccio : What did you need a nightgown for?

  Julia Packett : I didn't need a nightgown! I never wear nightgowns!

  [pause] 

  Julia Packett : I wear pajamas.

• Fred Ghenoccio : You'll never see me again! And I was going to make a Ghenoccio out of you! Hmm!

• Julia Packett : Here we are. Blue sea. Romance in the air. In fact, the only thing that's missing is the moon.

  Fred Ghenoccio : I've got no use for it meself. Moonlight keeps people out of the theater - lovers and such.

• Fred Ghenoccio : That's the spirit. No use crying over spilled milk.

  William Sylvester Packett : No, and it's a poor heart that never rejoices.

  Fred Ghenoccio : Well, I must say, you're taking it very well.

  William Sylvester Packett : After all, he travels fastest who travels alone. To say nothing of a stitch in time saves nine.

  Julia Packett : Well, what's that got to do with it?

  William Sylvester Packett : Nothing. It just occurred to me.

• Fred Ghenoccio : You mean you didn't know her and you talked to her?

  Julia Packett : Well he talked to me just as much as I did to him.

  William Sylvester Packett : Don't be stuffy, Fred. She talks to strange men all over the world.

  Fred Ghenoccio : Well, I don't like it and I never will.

  Julia Packett : Oh, Freddy, in a casino everybody talks to everybody else.

  Fred Ghenoccio : Casino? You were gamblin'?

  Julia Packett : Oh, well, just a few francs. You couldn't exactly call it gambling.

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Yes, and after she'd lost every franc of her own...

  Fred Ghenoccio : Lost ever franc?

  William Sylvester Packett : She loves roulette, Fred. Now, if she ever gets blue, give her a few thousand francs and send her off to the nearest casino. It's, uh, better than a new hat.

• Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Yes, yes. Well, I'm not concerned with your financial arrangements, but mine.

  Julia Packett : Leave me your address and I'll send you the money you gave me.

  Fred Ghenoccio : You took money from a strange man?

  Julia Packett : Not... not a... not exactly.

  Fred Ghenoccio : Well, you either took money or you didn't.

  William Sylvester Packett : Freddy, think nothing of it. To Julia, money's of no importance. As fast as she gets it, she tosses it away. That's her charm.

  Fred Ghenoccio : Well, it don't charm me.

• William Sylvester Packett : I'm sure, sir, she would have repaid you immediately; but, well, she probably lost it just as fast as you gave it to her.

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : But I didn't give her money in the casino. I gave it to her in the lingerie shop.

  Fred Ghenoccio : The lingerie shop? What were you doing in a lingerie shop?

  Julia Packett : Freddy, I'll explain all of this to you later.

  William Sylvester Packett : If you will just give her time enough, Julia can explain anything.

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Yes, well, it's taken me two days to find her and hear her explanation now.

• Fred Ghenoccio : What were you doing in a lingerie shop?

  Julia Packett : I was buying a negligee.

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : And a nightgown.

  Fred Ghenoccio : What did you need a nightgown for?

  Julia Packett : I didn't need a nightgown. I never wear a nightgown. I... I wear pajamas.

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Yes, well the man who brought her here ran away with all her clothes.

  Fred Ghenoccio : A man brought you here? Another man?

  Julia Packett : Freddy, believe me, there was nothing to the whole thing.

  Fred Ghenoccio : A man brought you to this city and to you that's nothing.

  Julia Packett : Oh, Freddy, you got me so upset I don't now what I'm saying.

• Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Well, all I want is my 6950 francs.

  Fred Ghenoccio : 6900 francs?

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : And 50. There's no reason now why I should pay for her nightgown.

  Fred Ghenoccio : 6900 and 50 francs? What kind of a nightgown was this?

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Very thin.

• William Sylvester Packett : Are you sure you didn't say something or suggest something that might have offended her?

  Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Suggest something? When she told me she got nowhere to sleep, I offered her my hotel suite.

  Fred Ghenoccio : Your hotel suite?

  Julia Packett : I wasn't going there, Freddy. That's why I was going out the back door.

  Fred Ghenoccio : Suppose there had been no back door?

  William Sylvester Packett : Freddy, all shops have a back door.

• William Sylvester Packett : Well, if you've a nasty, suspicious nature and suspect everything she does, then all I can say is she's too good for you. If you can't appreciate a woman as wonderful as Julia, then I think the best thing for you to do is... well, I think you better get out of here right away.

  Julia Packett : Will you let me handle this? Fred... if... if you... uh, uh... oh get out of here right away.

  Fred Ghenoccio : Gladly. You'll never see me again. And I was going to make a Ghenoccio out of you... huh!

• Julia Packett : I couldn't even have come out here for the wedding if I hadn't been given the money by a very dear gentleman friend of mine in London.

  Fred Ghenoccio : Another man? In London. All over the world you've got men.

  William Sylvester Packett : That's a shocking way to talk to Julia. Have you no confidence? No faith?

  Fred Ghenoccio : Where there's smoke, there's fire.
