One Way Passage (1932)

Frank McHugh: Skippy

Quotes 

• Skippy : Quick, bartender! Gimme a drink! Quick, before the fight begins!

  Bartender #2 : Yes, sir! Here you are, sir.

  [the bartender pours a drink. Skippy downs it, while looking over his shoulder frantically] 

  Skippy : Good, gimme another one! Quick, before the fight begins!

  [the bartender pours another drink. Skippy downs it quickly] 

  Bartender #2 : Wait a minute! Wait a minute! What fight?

  Skippy : The fight between you and me. I can't pay for these drinks!

  [He stumbles away, laughing drunkenly] 

• Betty : I've been busy.

  Skippy : Oh, sure, with that copper! You know, I think you're falling for him.

  Betty : He's not such a bad guy.

  Skippy : Oh sure, copper-lover! Falling for the law. The fox falling in love with the hounds. I'm ashamed of you. I tell you, that guy's no good.

  Betty : Now, wait a minute. His racket's on the other side of the fence, but he's playing it on the up-and-up. He's 100% copper, just the same as you're 100% thief. And you know yourself, 100% puts you at the head of the class.
