The St. Louis Kid (1934)

Allen Jenkins: Buck

Quotes 

• Ann Reid : You stupid numbskull, did you ever hear of sticking out your hand for a stop?

  Eddie Kennedy : What're you trying to do, steal some gas out of our tank?

  Ann Reid : Is that supposed to be funny?

  Eddie Kennedy : Now look here sister...

  Ann Reid : Don't sister me, if I was your sister I'd shoot myself.

  Eddie Kennedy : Not a bad idea!

  Ann Reid : You insolent...

  [CRACK! - slaps Eddie across the face, hard!] 

  Buck : Hey! You can't do that to my pal!

  [CRACK! - slaps Buck even harder, she must be a lefty!] 

  Eddie Kennedy : Hahahahaha!

  [CRACK! - one more on Eddie for good measure!] 

  Eddie Kennedy : Oh, so you're one of those smacking dames are ya? Now come on, back that tin can off our truck! C'mon! Get out!

• Buck : [after reading aloud from a book in a dull monotone]  Hey, what's this all about? It don't make sense.

  Eddie Kennedy : It don't make sense the way you read it, you split-skull. It's all about the country, about the chickens and the cows, the people are happy and contented.

  Buck : You really think the cows are contented?

  Eddie Kennedy : Why shouldn't they be? They don't have to drive a truck for a living.

  Buck : Yeahh, that's right, they don't.

• Buck : [after drinking a big glass of milk]  Ahh. Not bad. They say milk is full of that alphabet stuff.

  Eddie Kennedy : What do you mean, "alphabet"?

  Buck : You know - A-B-C-D... vi-ta-mines. It gives ya strength.
