Merrily We Live (1938)

Paul Everton: Senator Harlan

Quotes 

• Senator Harlan : If ever you are in Washington, you must come visit us.

  Mrs. Emily Kilbourne : Thank you so much. But I was there once, during the last coronation.

• Senator Harlan : Say, Kilbourne. They tell me there's a very eccentric woman in this district. It seems she has a hobby of inviting hobos into her house and trying to reform them. Ha, ha, ha.

  Mrs. Emily Kilbourne : [Mockingly]  Ho, ho, ho, ho. What's wrong with that?

  Senator Harlan : What's wrong with that? Suppose one was sitting right here. Now what would be the topic of his conversation? What would he say? What would we say?

  Wade Rawlins : It's hard to imagine unless the tramp, or hobo as you call him, was a victim of circumstances.

  Senator Harlan : Bosh! A tramp is a tramp.
