Week-End Marriage (1932)

Roscoe Karns: Jim Davis

Quotes 

• Agnes Davis : Now, listen Jim, she's in love with that boy and there's no reason on earth why she shouldn't have him.

  Jim Davis : He hasn't any money, for one thing.

  Agnes Davis : Well, neither have *you*.

• Agnes Davis : I don't suppose he earns more than $40 a week.

  Mr. Davis : $40 a week? When I married your mother I was getting $15 a week.

  Mrs. Davis : Oh, that was then dear. Just the same, I do think young people today are extravagant. I dare say, you and Jim could manage very well, even if you didn't work, Agnes.

  Jim Davis : We'd manage a darn sight better, Mother, and that's the truth.

  Agnes Davis : Yes. I could spend all day taking care of the darn house for you. Cooking your meals and washing your dishes and thinking how *marvelous* it'll be when you get home at night. We couldn't ever go anywhere because we couldn't afford it. You'd know just where I was and just what I was doing all the time. We'd see so much of one another, we couldn't possibly like each other. It would be indecent - like not wearing any clothes.

• Jim Davis : Looks like the boy got loose.

  Agnes Davis : Well, I dare say, Lola could have him if she wanted to.

  Jim Davis : If she's anything like you she could.

• Jim Davis : What do we have for breakfast? Mush. What do we have for lunch? Beans. What do we have for dinner? Anything that lives in a can.
