Jean Arthur: Sandy

Quotes 

• Sandy : Grapefruit. Why is it everybody in the world eats grapefruit when there's so many bananas running around loose.

• Sandy : Oh, Paradise Club. I had some ham and eggs there once. It cost my boyfriend five dollars.

• Editor : He's a big shot gambler.

  Sandy : So what?

  Editor : So, he's going to make swell copy. This Kelly thing is going to start a lot of fireworks.

  Sandy : So, where do I come in?

  Editor : With a classy pair of legs and a baby stare.

• Sandy : Oh, I was pretty sure you'd turn out to be a swell sort of person.

• Sandy : I'm free, white, and over 21; and in spite of my virtuous life, you know that I know most of the answers.

• Bob : You can't do this, Sandy. That Paradise Club of Sheldon's is a tough joint.

  Sandy : I like 'em like that.

• Buck Rankin : I'll be clearing out in a few days, Sandy.

  Sandy : Where to?

  Buck Rankin : Oh, Havana, the islands, Shanghai, maybe. I don't know yet.

  Sandy : I find you - and I lose you.

• Buck Rankin : Do you want to step out of your coat?

  Sandy : No, thanks. I don't think I better, it's a dress.

• Buck Rankin : You're pretty keen about this Bob, aren't you?

  Sandy : I adore him.

  Buck Rankin : Tell me, what is he like?

  Sandy : Well, he's conceited, lazy, he whistles off key, and he loves onions.

  Buck Rankin : So, it's real then. Had you have told me he's tall, blond, and handsome, then maybe I'd had something to worry about.

• Sandy : We'll probably fight like wild cats; but, it'll be fun.

• Sandy : What of it? That's my business.

  Bob : It isn't your business! It isn't the business of any decent girl to be seen with a rotten gambler like him.

• Sandy : You've got to trust me about these things.

  Bob : Why have I got to trust you? You think I'm going to sit back and twiddle my thumbs while you stand me up for a dirty crook like Sheldon?

• Bob : You're not going to make a sap out of me.

  Sandy : Bob?

  Bob : And you can tell your boyfriend from me, I'm going to make this town so hot for him, he'll need asbestos shoes to get out of it!

• Morrison : Sandy, don't you think that coming home at four in the morning requires some kind of explanation?

  Sandy : Four AM should never be explained, my dear.

• Sandy : Oh, darling, I'm terribly sorry I blew up; but, please, don't question me. This is the only time in my life I haven't told you everything. But, it's all right. I'm not doing anything you'd be ashamed of, honestly.
