Queenie Smith: Queenie
Quotes
-
Queenie : After a kiss like that, the least you can do is marry me.
-
Queenie : [Queenie singing 'I Can Sew a Button' to the young man she meets at Mardi Gras] There's a most extensive range to my ability / and everything I do, I do swell. / Yet despite my overwhelming versatility, / where you're concerned I don't do so well. / I can sew a button and I lace a shoe. / I can do most anything but get along with you. / Oh I read the papers
[her beau: Really?]
Queenie : I understand 'em too.
[her beau: Well that's marvelous]
Queenie : / I can do most anything but get along with you. / Change from a lover to an icicle - / you act so strange. I could hop upon a bicycle and go upon a journey. / I can peel potatoes, oh I boil 'em too. / I can do most anything but get along with you. /
[her beau]
Queenie : I can sew a button and I can lace a shoe.
[Queenie: like that]
Queenie : / I can do most anything but get along with you. / I can tie a necktie
[Queenie]
Queenie : Oh boy, that's hard to do.
[her beau]
Queenie : Oh sure. / I can do most anything but get along with you. / You're cross, though you pick an awful time to be. / You think you're boss when it's been decided I'm to be. / The most-est of the best-est, I can man a big rowboat or a small canoe.
[Queenie: a little bitty one?]
Queenie : / Honey, I can do most anything but get along with you.

Bob : [as they all sit down at a table together at Mardi Gras after having found Queenie] Can you imagine? Queenie dancing in front of all those people.
Julie : Queenie. Where have you been? We've been so worried about you!
Queenie : Oh, you needn't have bothered, really.
Bob : Now where's Uncle Andy?
Julie : We should have tied him.
Bob : You stay here with Queenie, I'll find him.
Julie : Queenie, where did you go?
Queenie : Well believe me my dear, since I last saw you I have lived and suffered. Oh these men.
Julie : Queenie.
