Cary Grant Movie Quotes           Operation Petticoat (1959)                 Cary Grant as Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:                 When a girl is under 21, she's protected by law. When she's over 65, she's protected by nature. Anywhere in between, she's fair game.                     It's like watching a strip teaser. Don't ask how it's done, just enjoy what's coming off.                     I don't want to bore you with the problems of command, Mr. Holden, because I doubt you'll ever have one. It's inconsistent with that philosophy of yours - every man for himself.                      Sir, Sea Tiger was built to fight. She deserves a better epitaph than 'Commissioned 1940, sunk 1941, engagements none, shots fired none.' Now, you can't let it go that way. That's like a beautiful woman dying an old maid, if you know what I mean by old maid.                     The Admiral's wife must be awfully upset with you stranded out here. That will probably cost her the rumba championship this year!                     Subject, Toilet paper. One: on 6 June 1941, this vessel submitted a requisition for 150 rolls of toilet paper. On 16 December 1941 the requisition was returned with stamped notation, 'Cannot identify material required.' Two: the commanding officer of the USS SeaTiger cannot help but wonder what is being used at the Caviti Supply Depot as a substitute for this unidentifiable material once so well known to this command.                     You, Mr. Holden? You'd ruin your manicure.                     I suggest you 'Wow' less and tsch, tsch, tsch a little more.                     Now, you're not the volunteering type. What's your angle?                     Would you care to explain that?                     I like to think we can, but then I'm an incurable optimist.                     Well, I guess that just about does it.
