Charles Farrell Quotes:

Peter Piper: What's the matter?
Sidney Taylor: Well, that blonde never misses a chance. I suppose she thinks you're pretty hot stuff.
Peter Piper: She's right, isn't she? Ain't I known as Pete the It Man? Why, I have a way of exciting women so much that they lie down and beg me to walk over them. I'm the guy that put the "it" in "idiot." Listen, kid. There isn't anybody within a thousand miles of you. If she were platinum from head to toe, and her father was Rockefeller and her mother was the queen of Romania, she'd still be a headache to me.


Mrs. Piper: Pete, my poor boy. You're on the edge of a great and serious experience.
[It's the night before Pete's wedding]
Peter Piper: What's the matter? What are you talking about?
Mrs. Piper: Listen, Pete. In every man, in every boy even, there lurks a beast. A beast that can be aroused!
Peter Piper: [embarrassed] Oh for cat's sake, Ma.


Willie Taylor: Son, you'll take good care of my baby, won't you?
Peter Piper: What a chance! She'll be teaching me the lockstep within a week.
[the doorbell rings]
Sidney Taylor: Who's that?
Peter Piper: Leave it to Mrs. Piper's boy to find out!
