Mary Astor: Gladys Russell

Quotes 

• Gladys : [Click and Ed have just ordered some sophisticated clothing from a couple of haberdashers]  You two are certainly milking our "golden calf." Evening clothes, riding habits, "Olde" English monograms on your shirts... a little while ago you were lucky to have soup stains.

  Click Wiley : [nonchalantly]  You heard my secretary: even the best is not good enough for us.

  Gladys : By the way, the "golden calf" has been awfully quiet for the last 10 minutes.

  [jumps up to go check on Loretta, aka Dawn Glory] 

  Click Wiley : You know, Eddie, I'm anxious to see those riding habits.

  Ed Olson : I'm anxious to see the horse.

  Gladys : Hey! She's gone!

  Ed Olson : [Click and Ed jump up in a panic]  Maybe we better cancel those Olde English monograms!

• Gladys : Every time I come here I catch that dame popping out of a bathroom or closet or something. What's the idea? Pretty soon she'll be doing card tricks.

• Gladys : Why don't you get married yourself?

  Click Wiley : Well, I tell you Gladys, I never met a dame yet who could get by with me.

  Gladys : [hands Click a magazine]  Why don't you give Garbo a break. I hear she's lonely.

  Click Wiley : Well, I don't know. I like her mouth; but, I don't care much about her chin and hair.

  Ed Olson : Poor Garbo. This'll finish her!

  Click Wiley : Now, I like this one's hair much better.

  Ed Olson : Sure. Jean Harlow.

  Click Wiley : And this one's ankles just about suit me.

  Ed Olson : Marlene Dietrich.

  Gladys : You don't want much. Garbo's mouth. Harlow's hair. Dietrich's ankles. What else?

• Click Wiley : One minute alone with her and he'd marry her.

  Gladys : At least we'd have her off our hands.

  Click Wiley : That's fine, marry off our meal ticket - five minutes after the event she wouldn't be worth a lead quarter to us. Dawn Glory's the idol of the nation! Whoever heard of a married idol?

• Gladys : We seem to be getting no place, very rapidly.
