Clive Brook Quotes:

Hector Stribling: You're a queer duck, Gordon. You've a future before you if you'd only follow it up. Those last cases I sent you, you handled brilliantly. And suddenly-this sort of thing. Why don't you come back to London with us tomorrow? I can get you a dozen briefs!
Gordon Evers: I'm through with London. I may go out to the East again, Doctor says England's too damp for me.
Hector Stribling: Nonsense. Think of your work.
Gordon Evers: My dear Hector, I've no intention of spending the rest of my life in an ill-ventilated courtroom waiting for twelve total strangers to make up their minds.
Hector Stribling: Oh, you'll never succeed at anything with that kind of attitude.
Gordon Evers: I shall succeed in keeping out of courtrooms.
Hector Stribling: Are you coming with us tonight or aren't you?
Gordon Evers: No.
[pause]
Gordon Evers: Is it white tie or dinner jacket?
Hector Stribling: Dinner jacket.
Gordon Evers: Then I shall come. You see, my valet ran away with my evening dress.
Hector Stribling: Why not call the police; have the fellow arrested?
