Philip Bruns: George Shumway

Quotes 

• Loretta Haggers : [waiting at the police station]  You know, I feel a song formin' in my head. Oh, it is so strange how the mind works during a crisis. Now listen to how this sounds so far. "Mydaughter is missing, my husband is too / Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what am I to do?"

  George Shumway : Loretta, this is no time to sing a song!

  Loretta Haggers : Country and Western music is not just for the happy times. You know, one of my best songs I ever wrote was about a kidney transplant. This girl...

  George Shumway : [interrupts, looks heavenward]  Saints, will you preserve me?

  Loretta Haggers : See, she got a kidney from her lover. And that's why I called the song "I've Got Part of You Under My Skin."

• George Shumway : Just what are you tryin' to tell me, Tom?

  Tom Hartman : It was just one of those things.

  George Shumway : Don't try to sing yourself outta this one!
