The Cat and the Fiddle (1934)

Frank Morgan: Daudet

Quotes 

• Daudet : Do you want her to give up everything that a beautiful and talented young woman is entitled to, just to wait on you? Do you understand what I mean?

  Victor : Perfectly. You want me to give her up.

  Daudet : Well, are you going to let her ruin her career?

  Victor : Why not? Other women have done more for love.

• Daudet : Very well, I'll be frank.

  Victor : That will be a relief.

• Daudet : Young men are selfish, egotistical.

  Shirley : Maybe you're right.

  Daudet : Occasionally.

• Daudet : I can make Shirley an international figure.

  Victor : But I'm in the way?

  Daudet : You are!

  Victor : Very much.

  Daudet : Very much. You want her to give up all this to wash dishes?

  Victor : Oh, but that would never do. She isn't good at washing dishes. She breaks them.

• Daudet : You mean to tell me you haven't done any work?

  Victor : You mean to tell me you didn't know it?

• Daudet : Well, I'm fond of you, Victor.

  Victor : I never suspected that.

  Daudet : And I have great faith in your talent.

  Victor : Nor that.
