Room Service (1938)

Cliff Dunstan: Joseph Gribble

Quotes 

• Joseph Gribble : [Miller and Gribble leave the elevator]  Gordon, I'm in a terrible spot: Mr. Wagner, the supervising director, is downstairs now inspecting the books!

  Gordon Miller : Wagner? I thought he wasn't coming for another two months!

  Joseph Gribble : [Miller enters his hotel room, followed by Gribble]  He walked in on me unexpectedly! He'll discover your bill any minute: $1,200 worth of credit to a shoestring producer! How will I explain it? If he finds out you're my brother-in-law, it'll cost me my job!

  Gordon Miller : [apologetically]  It was a business proposition! In return for a little credit to me and 22 of my actors, I gave you a 10% interest in the show.

  Gordon Miller : [cheerily]  Don't forget, you begged to get in on the ground floor.

  Joseph Gribble : You mean, I was railroaded into it by you and Flossie!

  Gordon Miller : [indignantly]  You do me a favor and kindly keep your wife's name out of this! Do you realize, you're talking about the woman you love?

  Gordon Miller : [his mood lightens]  And besides, she happens to be my sister... on my mother's side.
