Quotes from His Kind of Woman
Lenore Brent (Jane Russel): They tell me you killed Ferraro. How did it feel?
Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum): He didn’t say.
Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum): Well, you see how it is: fools get away with the impossible.
Lenore Brent (Jane Russel): That’s because they’re the only ones who try it.
Jose Morro: She is beautiful as well as interesting, isn’t she?
Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum): She’s beautiful – that’s always interesting.
Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum): I’m too young to die. How about you?
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): Too well-known.
Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum): Well, if you do get killed, I’ll make sure you get a first-rate funeral in Hollywood, at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): I’ve already had it. My last picture died there.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): I’m out of my mind to ask her… She hates everything I do.
Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum): She likes you.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): Yeh, I know, that’s what I don’t understand.
Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum): If she liked me, man, I wouldn’t try to understand.
Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum): Whenever I have nothing to do and I can’t think, I always iron my money.
Lenore Brent (Jane Russel): What d’ya do when you’re broke?
Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum): When I’m broke, I press my pants.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): This place is dangerous. The time right deadly. The drinks are on me, my bucko!
Myron Winton (Jim Backus): [after he and the other guests have viewed one of Mark Cardigan’s films] Yes sir, I agree with those folks: that was one of the finest movies I’ve ever seen. They oughta’ make ’em ALL like that. None of this nonsense about social matters. People don’t go to the movies to see how miserable the world is – they go there to eat popcorn and be happy!
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): [Addressing Mr. Krafft] What did you think of it?
Martin Krafft: [Dourly] It had a message no pigeon would carry.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): [Slightly amused, turning to Mr. Winton] At my studios, all messages are handled by Western Union.
Myron Winton (Jim Backus): You know, you can’t take his opinion on anything: he’s an intellectual.
[Cardigan responds with a look of mild alarm]
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): [to Milner and Lenore] Well, what did you think of the picture?
Lenore Brent (Jane Russel): [Sarcasm] Oh, it was fine. It was just a little long – about an hour and a half.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): [Preparing to go out and rescue Dan Milner] Now might I drink hot blood and do such bitter business the earth would quake to look upon.
Helen Cardigan: [Rolling eyes] ‘Hamlet’ again…
Gerald Hobson: Mark, this is no time for histrionics.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): [Scoffing] What fools ye mortals be.
Helen Cardigan: Mark… you’re wounded!
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): ‘Tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): This is man’s work. Women are for weeping.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): [the rescue boat he was “commanding” has sunk beneath him] Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground.
Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price): I must rid all the seas of pirates.
