The Thin Man William Powell and Myrna Loy

Sheer class


Memorable Quotes from
The Thin Man (1934)
Reporter: Say listen, is he working on a case?
Nora Charles: Yes, he is.
Reporter: What case?
Nora Charles: A case of scotch. Pitch in and help him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marion: I don't like crooks. And if I did like 'em, I wouldn't like crooks that are stool pigeons. And if I did like crooks that are stool pigeons, I still wouldn't like you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gil: Haven't you heard of the Sullivan Act?
Nora Charles: That's okay we're married.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nora Charles: Waiter, will you serve the nuts? I mean, will you serve the guests the nuts?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nick Charles: How'd you like Grant's tomb?
Nora Charles: It's lovely. I'm having a copy made for you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nick Charles: I'm a hero. I was shot 2 times in the Tribune.
Nora Charles: I read where you were shot 5 times in the tabloids.
Nick Charles: It's not true. He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick Charles: Oh, it's alright, Joe. It's alright. It's my dog. And uh, my wife.
Nora Charles: Well you might have mentioned me first on the billing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nora Charles: You know, that sounds like an interesting case. Why don't you take it?
Nick Charles: I haven't the time. I'm much too busy seeing that you don't lose any of the money I married you for.

Difficult to answer this question.

Maybe I am going to be a walking cliche now and say:

The Empire Strikes Back
