  • "Would you care to come in and see Emma?"  --as "Hopsy" Pike in THE LADY EVE (1941).
  • "What I am trying to say is: I'm not a poet, I'm an ophiologist." --as "Hopsy" Pike in THE LADY EVE (1941).
  • "They look too much alike to be the same."  --as "Hopsy" Pike in THE LADY EVE (1941).
  • "Hangin' is any man's business that's around." --as Gil Carter in THE OX-BOW INCIDENT (1943).
  • "Well, a couple shots more whiskey can't do my soul any harm." --as Gil Carter in THE OX-BOW INCIDENT (1943).
With Barbara Stanwyck in THE LADY EVE (1941), a very funny  romantic comedy directed by Preston Sturges.
