Quotes
-
Wrigley : [Pointing to Abigail, he is drunk and forcibly escorted away] She's the "Queen of Burlesque" with the Golden Rooster! She's "The Belle of the Bowery!"
Mrs. Ella Patterson : Oh dear, dear. This is dreadful. This is really dreadful.
[to Abigail]
Mrs. Ella Patterson : I'm so sorry.
'Spike' : Well, what's the matter with being "The Belle of the Bowery?" What's wrong with that?
Mr. Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Sr. : There's nothing the matter with being "The Belle of the Bowery" Mr. Marengo except she's not the sort of a person we'd care to have in the opera.
'Spike' : Oh, you was thinkin' of her for the opera?
Mr. Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Sr. : Miss Abigail has a very beautiful voice. I'm sure it was the alcohol in Wrigley that was talking, wasn't it Miss Abigail?
Martha Canford Chandler : [Before Abigail can speak, Martha jumps in] Oh, he meant me. I'm the one who sings at the Golden Rooster, not Abigail.
Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : Martha, have you lost your mind?
Martha Canford Chandler : I am High "C" Suzie.
Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : [laughs nervously] This is ridiculous. Abigail, what's gotten into her?
Abigail Chandler : I'm sure that butler's been drinking.
Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : Mr. Marengo, you know she's talking nonsense.
'Spike' : [to Martha] Are you on the level, kid?
Martha Canford Chandler : I'm "The Belle of the Bowery" and I'm proud of it.
Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : Well, I... I refuse to believe it. I shall, if necessary, go down to, uh, the place and prove it all to be a fiction.
Mr. Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Sr. : That might be best.
Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr : I shall be there tomorrow night.
Mr. Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Sr. : I think it a very good idea.

[He falls down the library ladder and it falls on him]
