PROMPTS FROM HIS GIRL FRIDAY
* assorted dialogue from the 1940 film, adjust as necessary
he looks like that fellow in the movies.
it frightens me to think of what i'd like to do to you.
did you see me in your dreams?
i know what quitting would mean to you!
it's the other way around.
listen, it's a matter of life and death!
well, it's not like that.
that's the speech you made the night you proposed.
oh, don't get technical at a time like this.
she hung up! what did i say?
he's kind and he's sweet and he's considerate. he wants a home and children.
oh, well, that relieves my mind.
sorta wish you hadn't done that, [name].
our whole lives are at stake!
it was cruel of us to let you suffer that way.
you know, he's not such a bad fellow.
isn't [name] sweet? always wanting to protect me.
what were you when you came here five years ago?
i wouldn't cover the burning of rome for you if they were just lighting it up.
he's not the man for you. i can see that. but i sort of like him. he's got a lot of charm.
you've got the brain of a pancake.
i've been a reporter for 20 years... i never heard that before.
i'd put my arm in fire for you, up to here.
you say that again, i'll come over there and kick you in the teeth.
what's the matter, [name]?
don't give me that innocent stuff!
who else was there when he gave you this?
she was born right here in this country!
maybe the sheriff let him out.
you've got an old fashioned idea divorce is something that lasts forever.
you don't deny that, do you?
that isn't what i got married for!
are we invited to the wedding?
you wouldn't take me if i hadn't been doll-faced.
how did i treat you? like a water buffalo?
if you were worth breaking my nails on, i'd tear your face wide open.
is there any way we can stop the 4:00 train to albany?
i suppose i proposed to you?
what does he want with you?
well, what are you doing there? haven't you even started?
you practically did, making goo-goo eyes at me for two years until i broke down.
what's the use of fighting?
it's all in little pieces now, and i hope to do the same for you some day.
of course he had to have a gun re-enact the crime with.
if you had been a gentleman, you would have forgotten all about it. but not you!
i just said i'd write it, i didn't say i wouldn't tear it up!
what do you think i am, a crook?
uh... let me get this straight. i must have misunderstood you.
don't you remember the home i promised you?
there's been a lamp burning in the window for you, honey.
looks like about ten years a piece for you two birds.
that isn't going to help you this time.
well, [name], where are you?
that's the story i just wrote.
yes, yes, i know we had a bargain.
i thought it would be a novelty to have a face around here a man could look at without shuddering.
i jumped out of that window a long time ago.
he treats me like a woman.
[name], you're wonderful, in a loathsome sort of way.
now get this, you double-crossing chimpanzee.
there ain't gonna be an interview, and there ain't gonna be a story.
