My Son Is Guilty (1939)

Wynne Gibson: Claire Morelli

Quotes 

• Claire Morelli : Nick thought a lot of you. He said you had a pretty good head.

  Ritzy Kerry : Well, I find using it for something better than just to hang your hat on.

• Ritzy Kerry : That's one for the books, isn't it: a lady mob chief.

  Claire Morelli : I'd prefer a more dignified term. My husband left the business, I'm looking after it, just as he would if he was alive.

• Claire Morelli : He is holding all the cards. But one. The joker.

• Claire Morelli : You know, Ritzy, the more I see of you, the more I admire your judgment.

  Ritzy Kerry : Yeah? Oh, even a jackass will back off of a fire, you know.
