Not good enough…they’re not good enough for him. Every Jane…

Not good enough…they’re not good enough for him. Every Jane in the room is giving him the thermometer and he feels they’re just a waste of time. He’s returning to his book, he’s deeply immersed in it. He sees no one except - watch his head turn when that kid goes by. It won’t do you any good, dear, he’s a bookworm, but swing ‘em anyway. Oh, now how about this one. How would you like that hanging on your Christmas tree? Oh you wouldn’t? Well, what is your weakness, brother? Holy smoke, the dropped kerchief! That hasn’t been used since Lily Langtry. You’ll have to pick it up yourself, madam. It’s a shame, but he doesn’t care for the flesh. He’ll never see it.

[to Muggsy, about 'Lady Eve'] They look too much alike to be the same. If she came here with her hair dyed yellow and eyebrows different or something…But she didn’t dye her hair and she didn’t pretend she’d never seen me before which is the first thing that anybody’d do. She says I look familiar…If she didn’t look so exactly like the other girl, I might be suspicious, but you don’t understand psychology.
