Funny / My Man Godfrey

Go To

  • Irene receives flowers from a (possible) secret admirer. Still nursing a crush on Godfrey, the two of them have this conversation:
    Godfrey: These flowers just came for you, Miss. Where shall I put them?
    Irene Bullock: [wistful despair] What difference does it make where one puts flowers ... when one's heart is breaking?
    Godfrey: [ignores her] Yes, Miss. Shall I put them on the piano?
  • Godfrey in his drunk state, dancing about and playing with a flower.
  • Near the end of the film, Mr Bullock's patience finally gives way:
    Angelica Bullock: What happened? What did you say to Carlo?
    Alexander Bullock: I said good-bye.
    Angelica Bullock: Did he go?
    Alexander Bullock: Yes, he left very hurriedly through the side window.
  • On Carlo:
    Detective: Is that your son?
    Alexander Bullock: That? Say, listen, I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I'll be hanged if I'll plead guilty to that!
  • "Godfrey loves me! He put me in the shower!"
