Just Around the Corner (1938)

Amanda Duff: Lola

Quotes 

• Lola : It's so nice to see you again.

  Penny Hale : Thank you, Miss Lola. I'm glad I went away. It's so much fun to come home again.

  Lola : What shall you and I do first, go to the movies, or take a walk through the park, or...?

  Penny Hale : Well, I may not have much time. I have a man to take care of now, and you know how much trouble they can be.

  Lola : I certainly do. We'll talk about it later. Goodbye, darling.

  Penny Hale : Isn't she nice, Kitty? When she and Daddy came to see me at school, even Miss Vincent liked her.

  Kitty : She's all right, but believe me the rest of her tribe is wacky.

• Lola : He wouldn't even listen to what you had to say? Honestly, darling, even if he is my own uncle ...

  Jeff Hale : You can't call him anything that I haven't.

  Lola : I know what we can do.

  Jeff Hale : Oh, let's just forget about it.

  Lola : Oh, so you're quitting?

  Jeff Hale : I'm not qutting, but what else can I do?

  Lola : Listen, Jeff. I've been handling him since I was a little girl, and I've always gotten what I wanted. You won't do any good trying to fight him. You've got to go around him.

• Lola : Penny, what have you been doing with yourself?

  Penny Hale : I've been very busy taking care of my daddy.

  Lola : Oh, by the way, how is he?

  Penny Hale : Well, when he's around me, he acts cheerful, but I don't think he's cheerful inside. I think he's worried.

  Lola : Probably because he hasn't any more buildings to put up.

  Penny Hale : No, I think he's worried about you.

  Lola : Oh, Penny, you're just guessing! What makes you think that?

  Penny Hale : He's always asking me questions about you. Just like you're asking me questions about him.

• Lola : I love that man, and I'm going to marry him!

  Samuel G. Henshaw : Over my dead body you're going to marry him!

  Lola : I don't care if it's over everybody's dead body! I'm going to marry Jeff Hale.

  Samuel G. Henshaw : Well, you wouldn't be my neice if you didn't have a will of your own.

  Lola : Uncle Sam, you don't mean that?

  Samuel G. Henshaw : You're going to live in the basement, I suppose?

  Lola : We won't have to live in the basement if you'll listen to Jeff. He has so much to offer. All he needs is someone to cooperate with him instead of fighting.

  Samuel G. Henshaw : Well, maybe I could do something for him.

  Lola : [kissing him]  Uncle Sam, you're a peach!
