The Little Colonel (1935)

Robert Warwick: Colonel Gray

Quotes 

• Miss Lloyd Sherman : Now that I'm a colonel, can't I play with the boys anymore?

  Col. Gray : Why, of course you can.

  Miss Lloyd Sherman : Well, you don't! Do colonels have to go to bed at 7:00?

  Col. Gray : Why, no, sometimes colonels stay up as late as 8:00.

  Miss Lloyd Sherman : I wish you'd tell my mother that.

  Col. Gray : I will.

• Jack Sherman : I want to thank you, Bob, for everything.

  Col. Gray : It's been a great pleasure having you and your family with us, even for so short a time. Quite different from Philadelphia, isn't it?

  Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman : Yes, indeed. We lived there for six years, but I never got used to the dreadful noise of the horse cars.

  Col. Gray : Jack told me that you'd sold your house there.

  Jack Sherman : We sold everything, lock, stock, and barrel. Took Greely's advice to go west, and here we are to find our fortune. I'm depending on your help for that.

  Swazey : Oh, there's plenty there for the finding, if we're lucky.

  Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman : I do wish we didn't have to go back home to Lloydsboro.

  Jack Sherman : Now, dear, we've settled all that.

  Col. Gray : This wild country is no place for women and children, and where Jack's going it's even rougher. Besides, Jack told me you have a lovely home waiting for you.

  Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman : Oh, that sounds too grand. It's really just a cottage my mother left me.

• Col. Gray : [to Lloyd]  Completely armed except for your golden curls, brown eyes and your dimples, you've captured an entire regiment.
