The Wayward Girl (1957)

Rita Lynn: Midge Brackett

Quotes 

• Ira Molson : [Ira is holding a photograph]  Now look, Midge, I make a lot of money feeding hogs but that doesn't mean I try to feed myself the same kind of slop.

  Midge Brackett : Meaning what, Ira?

  Ira Molson : I don't kid myself that a girl this good-looking would even spit on me. Women kinda steer away from my type.

  Midge Brackett : You mean the type who writes a half a dozen social clubs under assumed names, asking for photos of young girls interested in farm work with matrimony in mind?

  Ira Molson : How did you find out about that?

  Midge Brackett : All the social clubs exchange listings and I'm pretty good at recognising handwriting.

  Ira Molson : What did you mean if I went into this I'd practically have a ring on her finger or one on her nose?

  Midge Brackett : Just that, Ira. She'll have to do just what you say or go back to prison.

  Ira Molson : So that's the gimmick - she's a parolee.

  Ira Molson : Aha!

  Ira Molson : Nah, that don't parole girls to men - or vice versa.

  Midge Brackett : All the law says is that acceptable residence and definite employment be assured a parolee before she's released

  Ira Molson : You mean, have her work here?

  Ira Molson : Yeah.

  Ira Molson : Well, they'll investigate first.

  Midge Brackett : Not for months. The County parole authority is snowed under with work.

  Ira Molson : You really think that...... .?

  Midge Brackett : You'll probably get a postal card to fill out and for that you'll need a widowed sister.

  Ira Molson : Widowed sister?

  Midge Brackett : Aha, one whose come to live with you since her husband died, in the East.

  Ira Molson : How much is this gonna cost me?

  Midge Brackett : Look, if you're gonna be a pinch-penny, I haven't got time to haggle.

  Ira Molson : Now wait a minute, Midge, wait a minute - I'll go the limit, if the goods measure up to the sample.

  Midge Brackett : Meaning you want to look over the merchandise first?

  Ira Molson : Why not? I buy my pigs that way.

  Midge Brackett : I think I can arrange a private showing. But just ogle, don't touch.

  Midge Brackett : When are you going to movie in - sister?

  Midge Brackett : My bags are in the back of the car.

  Ira Molson : I'll get 'em for you.

  Midge Brackett : Scrub your filthy paws first!
