John Loves Mary (1949)

Katharine Alexander: Phyllis McKinley

Quotes 

• Phyllis McKinley : Why, James, you haven't danced with me since the night Coolidge was inaugurated.

  Sen. James McKinley : Did we dance that night?

• Phyllis McKinley : Mary, do you ever think of anything and then decide not to say it?

• Phyllis McKinley : If you'll excuse me, I'll just run along.

  Sen. James McKinley : Oh, sit still. You married off three daughters - what's this?

  [Mary crying] 

  Phyllis McKinley : It's hard to say. These things get pretty complicated.

• Fred Taylor : Why, general, what happened to you? Have you had an accident?

  Phyllis McKinley : [Has a taped lens on his glasses and a crushed hat]  I was attacked by a drunken usher in the men's room of the Strand Theater.

  Fred Taylor : No?

  Phyllis McKinley : He broke my glasses, and look at this hat.

  Fred Taylor : But, why? Why did he do it?

  Phyllis McKinley : I don't know why. He asked me whether I'd ever been to West Point. I said that I had, and he seemed pleasant enough. I thought he was going to ask me about the football team. That's what they usually ask. And then he jumped on me.
