Cary Grant Movie Quotes           Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)                 Cary Grant as Mortimer Brewster:                 Insanity runs in my family... It practically gallops.                     Look, you can't do things like that. Now I don't know how I can explain this to you, but it's not only against the law. It's wrong! It's not a nice thing to do. People wouldn't understand. He wouldn't understand. What I mean is, well, this is developing into a very bad habit.                     Don't you understand? How can I marry you? Me! The symbol of bachelorhood. I've sneered at every love scene in every play. I've written four million words against marriage. Now I'll be hooked to a minister's daughter. And not only a minister's daughter but a girl from Brooklyn. And look at ya! Look at the way you look.                      Well, usually I'm Mortimer Brewster, but I'm not quite myself today.                     Yeah, yeah, I know that bromide. Something borrowed, something blue - old, new! Rice and old shoes, carry you over the threshold, Niagara Falls - all the silly tripe I've made fun of for years. Is this what I've come to? I can't go through with it. I won't marry you and that's that!                      Get out of here. Do you want to be poisoned? Do you want to be murdered? Do you want to be killed? Do ya?                     Look, look darling. You wouldn't want to have children with three heads, would you? I mean, you wouldn't want to set up housekeeping in a padded cell. Oh, it would be bad.                     Darling, don't 'ah, ah, ah, ah.' I'm nervous now. Don't do that.                     Will you stop underplaying? I can't hear you.                     Yes, operator, I'd like the Happy Dale Sanatorium, Happy Dale, New York. Come on, operator, what's taking so long? They're just across the river. I could swim it faster! No, I don't want the Happy Dale Laundry. I want the Happy Dale Sanatorium. Sanatorium, sanatorium, sanatorium. Yes, yes, like a broken record. Hello - what? They're busy? Busy? Look, they're busy and you're dizzy. No, I am not drunk, madam, but you've given me an idea.                     He just sits there waiting to be gagged and tied - the big dope!                     Did you ever see anybody in a play act like they got any intelligence?                     Oh, don't worry about Halloween. The pixies won't be out till after midnight.                     All I did was cross the bridge and I was in Brooklyn. Amazing.                     Men don't just get into window seats and die!                     Yes, right out here in the open with everyone looking. Let everyone in Brooklyn over sixteen look!                     Where did you get that face? Hollywood?                     One thing at a time!                     Oh, Jonathan? He's probably in prison or hanged or something by now.                     Darling, I love you so much I can't go through with our marriage.                     What is this? Did everyone in Brooklyn know I was getting married but me?                     Certainly there are thirteen bodies in the cellar and there are hundreds more in the attic!                     Elaine, Elaine, Where are you? Can you hear me? I'm not really a Brewster. I'm the son of a sea-cook! Ha! Ha! Chaaaaarrrge!
