Holiday Inn
1942
Ted Hanover: A gentle smile often breeds a kick in the pants.
Jim Hardy: What brings you here on this bright and uninviting day?
Jim Hardy: I don't need a coat, now!
Ted Hanover: (reading) Come out and relax on a farm, open holidays only. (skeptical) Open holiday's only? Say, how many of them are there? Jim Hardy: (excited) About 15. That gives me 350 days to kick around in! Ted Hanover: (laughing) You would think of that!
Mamie: Is your names Mamie? Daphne and Vanderbilt: No. Mamie: Get back in the kitchen! (later) Mamie: Is your names Miss Linda? Daphne and Vanderbilt: No.
Ted Hanover: Oh boy, do I go for those! Why they're great on... on... (pause) ... or even plain!
Linda Mason: What would you like? Danny Reed: Orchids, the finest you've got. Linda Mason: Corsage? Danny Reed: No, no. A dozen, loose, looking like they don't care!
Ted Hanover: It's going to be easy - like peeling a turtle.
Jim Hardy: For that kinda of money you oughta be able to go by way o' Medicine Hat!
Danny Reed: If I'm not the best manager in the business, I'll eat a garage mechanic's shirt!
Jim Hardy: Well what do you visualize, Ziggy?
Jim Hardy: Right now I've got the ledger in an iron lung.
Danny Reed: How'd he get that far in five minutes? Ted Hanover: The lady must have been willing. Danny Reed: The world can't do this to us!
Ted Hanover: I like it here... with you and Linda. Jim Hardy: And we love having you. When are you leaving?
Danny Reed: François! Have you seen Mr Hanover? François: Twice, sir. The first time he came from his dressing room he had a telegram in his hand. He ordered scotch and soda. A bottle of each. Danny Reed: I know! I know! François: The second time he came from his dressing room he asked which was is Connecticut. Danny Reed: Connecticut? François: Connecticut. He said he had a friend there who knows about women too. Danny Reed: Why didn't you stop him? François: How can I stop him sir when I don't know which way is Connecticut!
Ted Hanover: Then I had a drink. Jim Hardy: A drink? Boy you were fractured!
