Pardon My Pups (1934)

Harry Myers: Mr. Rogers

Quotes 

• Mrs. Rogers : Sonny was just asking about that motorcycle.

  Mr. Rogers : It was seventy-five dollars. For a secondhand motorcycle? You know it's ridiculous.

  Mrs. Rogers : No more ridiculous than seventy-five dollars for an unborn pup.

  Mr. Rogers : But this won't be an ordinary dog! His father is -

  Mrs. Rogers : Yes, I know, and his mother is a direct descendant of champions.

• Mrs. Rogers : Mary Lou, what are you doing? You'll get soaked!

  Mary Lou Rogers : [playing in the rain]  I won't, Mother, just my clothes!

  Mrs. Rogers : Those children... and that includes you.

  Mr. Rogers : What have I done?

  Mrs. Rogers : Ever since you heard of those Vanderpool pups, our dinner table's been a regular battlefield.

  Mr. Rogers : And it's going to stop. I'm not going to tolerate any more of Sonny's nonsense. Wait till you see Queenie, and you'll know why I'm so crazy to have - I mean, for Sonny to have one of her pups.

• Sonny Rogers : It'll only get underfoot and chew things up!

  Mr. Rogers : But not for long! A spaniel's so smart, he can be trained in no time. Why, before he's a year old, I'll be able to take him on hunting trips. That is, uh, if you're willing to spare him, son.

  Mary Lou Rogers : Why don't you just buy him for yourself, Daddy? You're the one that wants him.

• Mr. Rogers : You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Afraid of a dog!

  Sonny Rogers : Honest, I'm not, Dad. You go ahead and buy that pup for yourself. I don't mind having a dog around the house. I just don't want one that would come near me.

  Mr. Rogers : That's cowardice. You're going to take that pup I'm buying for you, understand?

  Sonny Rogers : Yes, sir.

• Mr. Rogers : Well, I'm glad you've come to your senses.

  Sonny Rogers : Yeah, and now I'm gonna show you my dog!

  Mr. Rogers : Your dog?

  Mary Lou Rogers : And what a dog!

  Mr. Rogers : So, that's your dog, is it?

  Sonny Rogers : Sure, she's a hunting dog, Dad. That's the kind you like, isn't it?

  Mr. Rogers : Hunting dog? She's a mongrel. You'd better take her to the pound.

  Sonny Rogers : No, Dad, you can't do that.

  Mr. Rogers : I know more about dogs than you do.

  Sonny Rogers : But Dad, I think she's gonna have puppies.

  Mr. Rogers : Yes, and we'll have to drown them.

  Mary Lou Rogers : No, I want one. Hooray, I'm gonna have a puppy!

  Mr. Rogers : And what would Harry Vanderpool think of you, refusing a thoroughbreed dog for a frightful-looking thing like that. You'd better take her to the pound, Sonny.

  Mrs. Rogers : They'll put her down without any pain.

  Sonny Rogers : You haven't any feelings, you haven't any heart! You wanted me to have a dog, didn't you?

• Harry Vanderpool : I'm afraid I have some bad news, Mr. Rogers. They'll be no pup for you. Queenie ran away.

  Mr. Rogers : What?

  Harry Vanderpool : She jumped out of our trainer's car.

  Mary Lou Rogers : Sonny found a dog under the bridge. She's gonna have pups.

  Harry Vanderpool : Let me see her, I'll bet it's Queenie! What's the matter?

  Mr. Rogers : Sonny took her out to be destroyed.

  Harry Vanderpool : What? Destroyed?

  Mary Lou Rogers : Yes, Daddy made him take her to the pound.

• Sonny Rogers : Come on, do I get that dog?

  Harry Vanderpool : Yeah, yeah, you can have her.

  Mr. Rogers : Here, what's all this fighting about?

  Mary Lou Rogers : Oh, Sonny, Sonny, come quick! Something's happened!
