Stand-In (1937)

Joan Blondell: Lester Plum

Quotes 

• Lester Plum : I was the Shirley Temple of my day.

  Atterbury Dodd : I've heard that name several times today Miss Plum. Who is Miss Temple?

• Atterbury Dodd : [Plum has just thrown him on the floor]  Why Miss Plum, you're... you're wonderful!

  Lester Plum : I don't see anything wonderful about it, just plain jujistu; a trick of leverage.

  Atterbury Dodd : Leverage? The principle of Archimedes, the Greek mathematician.

  Lester Plum : Well I don't know anything about that; all I know is it comes in very handy when some guy who's driving you home tries to shift gears with your knee.

  Atterbury Dodd : Miss Plum, teach me how to do that

  Lester Plum : I taught you how to do the tango, and look what happened. By the way, how'd you make out with that female Casanova?

  Atterbury Dodd : Miss Plum, I must insist that you grant Miss Cheri the respect...

  Lester Plum : The respect to which she's entitled, is that it? Protecting her against me, huh? And now you want me to teach you jujitsu.

  Atterbury Dodd : If you don't mind, Miss Plum.

  Lester Plum : It'll be a pleasure!
