Flight Angels (1940)

Jane Wyman: Nan Hudson

Quotes 

• Commissary Clerk : [going over the just-arrived-from-Newark plane's inventory with Nan]  Four thermos, trays okay, sheets... you're one pillow slip short.

  Nan Hudson : Yeah, I'm savin' it for my hope chest.

  [sees Mary approaching] 

  Nan Hudson : Hello, Mary!

  [to clerk] 

  Nan Hudson : Count 'em again!

  Commissary Clerk : How will I get them back to commissary... and you needn't be so crabby!

  Nan Hudson : [with attitude]  Have you ever been to Newark?

  [walks away] 

• Nan Hudson : [annoyed]  Wait'll I get my hands on that Artie, I'll teach him to stand me up for two hours on a street corner... kick that stratosphere plane right out from under him.

  Thelma : How come you picked a street corner in the first place, you know Artie...

  Nan Hudson : Well, I figured it'd be nice and noisy, 'cause every time he comes over to my apartment he falls asleep before I can get him out.

  Rita : You must be awfully entertaining.

  Nan Hudson : Look, I'd hate to see what would happen to him if he fell asleep in *your* apartment.

  Rita : [gets up from sofa]  What do you mean by that?

  Nan Hudson : [with attitude]  What do you think I mean?

  Rita : I think it's a nasty crack. Why don't you take x-ray pictures of your mind and sell them at stag parties.

  Nan Hudson : How do you know what they sell at stag parties, you just keep your hooks out of Artie, that's all!

  Rita : *That* cluck, as if anybody'd fall for him but you.

  Nan Hudson : Look, you'd fall for anything with pants on and you know it! Now don't say I didn't warn you!

  [shoves Rita's shoulders] 

  Rita : [shoves Nan back]  Don't push me!

  Nan Hudson : What are you talkin' about!

  [they grab each other and fall to the floor, fighting] 

• Rita : What makes you so sure that Chick didn't ask me to marry him?

  Nan Hudson : O-o-oh, that's easy, he didn't want you. He didn't want to do his shopping on a *used* car lot.
