Let Us Be Gay (1930)

Sybil Grove: Perkins

Quotes 

• Mrs. Bouccicault : [Looking at a magazine article]  You see what they say about me? Am I eccentric, Whitman?

  Whitman : Well, I should think...

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Whitman, now am I eccentric?

  Whitman : No, madam.

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Perkins? Am I eccentric?

  Perkins - the Maid : Oh, no, madam.

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Nooo! Liars! Both of you. Why can't you learn to tell the truth? I am eccentric and you know it... Yes, well keep it to yourselves.

• Whitman : I told her it would be cooler in here.

  Perkins - the Maid : It would be just as well if you minded your own business. It's bad enough trying to keep up with her motions, hopping around all over the place without you changing her mind for her.

  Whitman : I've been changing her mind for her for 20 years, and I expect to keep on doing so. Without any suggestions from you.

• Whitman : Oh, Perkins. Mrs. Brown is leaving on the 11 o'clock train. It might be as well for you to assist her.

  Perkins - the Maid : That's just where I'm going, and without any suggestions from you.
