Quotes
-
Kay Kyser : Does that kind of noise go with Shakespeare? How do you expect me to get in the mood with that dirty ole jazz poundin' at my ear?
Sully Mason - Band Member : [holding out his recorder] We're just getting acquainted with these sixteenth-century bazookas.

Kay Kyser : There's so much to be thankful for these days. But, come on, gang, you tell 'em! Tell 'em what I mean.
The Guardsmen : [singing] If you live right, If you get to sleep at night, You can thank your lucky stars and stripes. If you feel free, If there's sugar in your tea, You can thank your lucky stars and stripes...

Kay Kyser : This is my grandmother from Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Grandma, Mr. John Barrymore.
Grandma Kyser : How do you do, Mr. Barrymore?
John Barrymore : My dear, dear lady. I am honored to meet the glorious fountainhead from which spring this sparkling brook of wit, your grandson, came.

Kay Kyser : I think I better stick to comedy.
John Barrymore : The line between comedy and tragedy is thinner than a hair. When you play the Professor of the College of Musical Knowledge, that is comedy. When you play Hamlet or Macbeth, that, me dear lad, is tragedy.
Kay Kyser : That's what I'm afraid of.
Grandma Kyser : Oh, Kay, don't be so namby-pamby! One would think you'd never been on the stage before.
Kay Kyser : Yes, but, Shakespeare!
Grandma Kyser : Acting is acting!

Kay Kyser : And now we climax our entertainment with this beautiful song to be sung by a lovely lady. It's - Ginny Simms!
Ginny Simms - Band Singer : [singing] I better watch myself, I'm acting strange, I can't believe the things I see, Did you just touch my hand? Did you just sigh? My mind is playing funny tricks on me, You with your arms around me, That's more than I would dare to scheme, It must have been a mere illusion, How long did I dream?

Kay Kyser : Eddie, conga. Play "Que Chica" boys.
The Guardsmen : [singing] Que, Que, Que, Que Chica, They would say in Havana, Or Costa Rica, Or at Peru, That means, How fascinating you are, So very few are, Like you are, Que, Que, Que, Que Chica, They would say in Chihuahua, But in Topeka, They would say, Oh, Gee!

Carmen del Toro : I want to thank you for playing for me so beautifully.
Kay Kyser : Do you? I mean, did I? We did?

Kay Kyser : Isn't that romantic, Ginny? Why can't I think of things like that to say?
Ginny Simms - Band Singer : You, Kay? Oh, no!
[laughs]
Kay Kyser : Why the hilarity?
Ginny Simms - Band Singer : I don't know. I just can't picture you being romantic. That's all. You've always seem to me like - well, Kay, you're not a glamour boy!
Kay Kyser : Oh, I see.
Ginny Simms - Band Singer : Now, don't tell me you're going to pout.
